AHR Checklist

[Brandy]

I have searched and searched and cant seem to find a checklist for this, does anyone have a AHR checklist that they would be willing to share, Thanks so much!!!

[jszy10]

what kind of checklist are you looking for??

[Brandy]

Just a basic one I guess, things I need to do like find a location, book caterer... thats the only big things I can think of, there is some much to do and I feel like Im going to loose track of it all and if I have some sort of checklist where its all in way place, Ill feel more organized, make sense? LOL

[jszy10]

haha definitely makes sense!!  )

 

The #1 thing is to find your date and location -- once you have that locked down, you're good to start reserving everything else.

 

Next I would say, find your caterer, DJ and photographer (if you're going to have one...I'm just hiring a friend to save money)

 

Figure out your decorations...mine is 11 months away and I'm already buying things here and there -- I found my silk flowers in the spring sale at Joann's at 75% off!!!

 

Secure your baker for your cake

 

Start making a preliminary list of who to invite, so you can add/edit whenever you think of it

 

Register -- people who are not coming to your destination, and maybe some who are, are going to want to get you sometime...especially if you're having a shower

 

 

I feel like thats all I can think of for now?? I hope this helps!!

Thanks so much, this will definitely get me somewhere!

I suppose it depends if you are having a full on wedding reception with a sit down meal or just an informal get together....... we are having a party which will take the form of an evening wedding reception.  The list I have in my 'scribble pad' is:

• Guest list
• Invitations & RSVP
• DJ
• Guest Book
• Caterers / Food
• Cake
• Table decorations / Centrepiece
• Postbox for cards
• Display of some wedding pictures

 

When I list it like this there doesnt seem to be a lot to organise - so why is it taking me so long to organise compare to the wedding - lol :-))))))  

 

Hope this helps x

LOL! It doesnt seem like much, but add it to what you already have to do with the DW and it is overwhelming! Thanks so much, this is helping alot!!!!

If you are doing a full out sit down meal, photographer, dj and everything then just look on the knot.com or something for their wedding checklists. We are just having an informal dance with a midnight lunch.

I am definately going to have to use this, maybe it will motivate me to start planning

I agree - the "normal" wedding checklists usually end up being pretty helpful!
