What Do I Do First

[Sweetpea]

Hello ladies: I am soooo confused. I am a newbie, not sure if my question has already been answered or if this is where I have posted this question....

 

Question:

 

Where do I start first? I have the date and location

date: Aug 7th, 2010

location: Beaches Boscbel

 

What is the next step? I guess list. I have some idea but after I have composed that do I send them anything? PLEASE HELP!

 

Thank you

Once we had our date and location the first thing that we started working on was our website and our STD's. We wanted to have our website done before sending out the STD's (so that we could include the web address on the actual STD). Hope this helps!

That's how I started. We created our website & ordered our Save The Date cards which consequently led to our guest list...

Hi! Websites are very helpful... I did that first, then I skipped STD and sent the invites!

Yep, the next step I took were creating the website, and STD's (sent out over the past 2 weeks ago)

YEA! Another 2010 Bride!!

 

Here is my plan of attack for my DIY because I have 2 years:

1.) Mongrams

2.) STD's

3.) Invites

4.) Decor

5.) OOT

 

That is it in a nut shell. I will attach my "to-do"/checklist since it is VERY detailed and each section has due dates. Let me know if this helps, Carla

I used the task list on ourweddingday.com and it helped a lot for a timeline. The wedding website and emails are a huge help though. I would definately recommend starting with that.
