This looks great. I do plan to have something simliar to prevent confusion. It will mainly be for my friends who will be the day of coordinators.

Yeah, I've got an excel spreadsheet for this one. I've got itineraries for BMs, GM, me, my fiance, the DJ, the photographer, and our parents. There's a lot going on especially since we're taking pictures beforehand, so I wanted everyone to know what they were doing. :-)

no, I don't plan on having one. I might send out a text the day before the rehersal, and then remind everyone at the rehersal what time to meet up.

also, becareful not to get to anxious. This is a very detailed itenerary and if anything gets thrown off it may throw off the rest of the schedule. Remember to have fun!

I like this list but as mentioned by gratefulbride & purplenat1, this list will be for my wedding planner, my bridal party and a few of my vendors.

i need to start thinking about this. im obsessive about time, lists, and controlling things so im surprised i havent made one yet....i think im waiting to see where everyone will be staying etc.

This is for my bridal party, ushers, and vendors
Did you ladies think I was giving this to my guest?
Heck NO, I m not that crazy...lol

well . . . I knew you were talking about to your bridal party. The time schedule just seems a bit aggressive and like you have not allowed yourself any wiggle room. What if you have guest that don't wait the 1.5 hours and go straight to your venue, or when you light your memorial candle it takes longer than a minute because someone misplaced the matches. I LOVE the list of stuff you have and the order, I think that is very much needed, but I just felt that if you give this to your bridal party you may get a few odd stares. Like the other ladies said, I could see this detail going to the the wp and vendors, but bridal party? You have to trust your wp or moh to keep everything on track, if not you will give yourself a headache. Let them know what needs to be done, and go enjoy yourself.
