Pickle: Dates to Avoid 2011/2012

The Pickle: You are worried about your date conflicting with something but can't think of what it is.

The Solution: Plan ahead with this awesome article that lists all holidays and the dates of other events to help you with picking your wedding date.

Once you have chosen your date, I would recommend using a checklist. I looked at many but the one that I always went back to was the checklist from theknot.com. What I love is how the tasks on the checklist will pop up only as you need to do them. It also syncs with an app you can download free for your iphone or ipod.

My favorite thing was when people would ask me, "Have you done this yet?" or, "You need to make sure you get this done."  I was able to say, "Nope, it hasn't popped up on my checklist so I will worry about it later." It really helped to stand my ground and not stress about things I didn't have to stress about.

I thought I would give a print-out that you could add to your wedding binder if you have one or to hang on the refrigerator or bulletin board. It is a blank calendar template so that you can write out the dates and tasks from the checklist on the calendar and give yourself a deadline and visual of when the task is to be complete.

What checklists are you using if not the one from theknot.com? 

Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. – 1 Timothy 6:18-19
