    I'm just wondering if other people are finding that their to do list is getting longer and longer the more they do? I've done loads for my wedding and booked all the major suppliers, started doing the little bits etc yet my to do list is growing by the day. It just feels at the moment the more I do the more things I find that still need to be done. Is this going to be never ending?

    I'm trying to get everything done early so we can enjoy the build up to the wedding without being stressed but the way this list is going it will never get finished by the time we go to get married.

    Mines the same hun
    I think i've done loads and then remember that i've missed something else.
    Make a list and then cross it off as you go along, we have ours on the white board so i can wipe it off when its done/arrived and then add whatever else i've forgotten easily :)

    Yeah I have a big long list that is getting crossed off but its just keeps getting longer as the days go by and I remember something else that hasn't been done. Admittedly it has helped Kev to see what needs to be done and why I'm so keen to get it all done now as I think even he shocked himself when he saw how big it was. We have also colour co ordinated it too with the things we need to do together, the things I need to do and the things he needs to do. I've also sorted it out into deadlines too. I'm sure that it has expanded by about four pages from when I started it though.

    I think when you add more info or put the task into smaller steps it can make a list endless. But watch it doesnt become endless by adding to much info or description as it can really put you off doing anything. I ended up within my planning to give up on lists but instead kept a mental note in the last 3 months or so or what still needed to be done as I found this less stressful (think I am allergic to lists!). I think just having a basic list of what needs done without loads of description is less scary to look at in my opinion.

    But I wouldnt worry Jo as things come together in the end and no matter how much planning you do there is usually always the last 2 weeks that there are things that you can only do then and not before. xx

    Well I've ordered my hoop for the dress and the bags for the kids favours so that is another two things off the list. Going to do some uni work then I might do the directions, menus and list for the photographer later as I had done them before and lost them when my laptop died. Once I've done them kind of things I am going to email them to myself and also put them in a drop box account just in case it happens again.
