I have this overwhelming feeling that I am going to forget something and so I lay awake almost all night every night going over and over my mental list and straining to think of any detail I might be missing. Its driving me crazy, not to mention it makes for a very cranky bride during the day!
Is this normal?? Are any of you having a similar issue? Does anyone know of a really good online to do list? I've seen quite a few but none that really list every detail and that is what I am looking for...
All I can really say is to do what you can & make up in your mind that you will do your best, when you can. You may even have to put wedding projects & plans on a schedule. And seriously stick to it. Don't be upset if you don't get everything done in that time frame, but pat yourself on the back for getting things crossed off. If you prioritize your list & stick to it, you will feel a better sense of relief in getting it done.
Here's an awesome checklist:

Of course, the Knot has a checklist broken into monthly increments.
key in coping with the pre-wedding stress is try to breakdown tasks/ money in monthly order, that way you're organized & not losing control
second to the Knot checklist!
