Lists, Lists and More Lists

[DWbridetobe]

I have a google spreadsheet with:

- room rates for all of the room types at our resort

- general wedding info, and a list of each days activities if any are planned

- Guest list - name, address, phone number, email and properly addressed name (easy reference!)

- Guests traveling itinerary with highlights of which guests are on the same flights

- A running total of what we've paid, to whom, and what we still owe

- A (growing) list of DIY projects

- A "Still need to get" list - iPod dock, parents' gifts, etc

- OOT bag items: I have a tendancy to buy things just because I like them, so this helps me to keep track of what I have, for who, and how many, etc.

- A gift page - for gift ideas for my bridal party, parents, and any other specials

- A shoe size list.. haha! I'm getting Old Navy flip flops for all of my guests. So I keep a running checklist of what sizes I need to buy, etc.

I am a maker of lists also. I make one for just about everything. FI thinks it is funny but he also knows I am extremely anal retentive so he just leaves me alone to do my thing.

I thought I was being good by starting a small list that I kept in my wallet for when I'm out and about... After reading this I've since moved that list to my iPod along with all the other ones listed here and am getting them all in order!

Thanks for all the tips/help. Hoping this makes me feel a little less disorganized and crazy!

Hahahaha we are all list people. I have an accordian file with everything from swatches and samples, to receipts and magazines pages with inspiration. I take that everywhere with me...simply because I never know when I will have/find/see/buy something wedding related. I also use theknot.com which helps me keep everything organized between all the checklists and everything else.
