I haven't started mine, because each time I look at the form I have I start to sweat. It scares me to death... Was 3:30 really a good time to choose. I guess I won't be sleeping in at all.
@brandylynnp: Haha I know! Our ceremony starts at 5:30 and we still won't be sleeping in at all! Not that I would anyway probably..
Drafting my day of timeline resulted in booking the photographer for an extra hour and extending the reception 30 minutes. I had to do it for my peace of mind.
We made a list of all the events we want our wedding to include. Hair/Make-up, formal photos, ceremony, supper, first dance, bouquet toss, garter toss, cake cutting & speeches. We than organized it in the order we wanted and added times we thought would work. Obviously it's not going to be perfect and everything won't run exactly on time but, thats okay as long as you have an idea of how it is going to go down.
@LGenz: Luckily we have our photographer for an unlimited time that day - but I've been thinking about extending the reception!
I've been working on mine today actually. FI is Catholic, so our ceremony is at 2pm!! AHHHHH! I currently have myself getting up at 6am to get going. Then it's rush rush rush 'till the ceremony... then we're hanging out doing ??? for like 3 hours before the reception starts. It also looks like we're gonna have to tack on an extra hour for our photographer because since we have all that "dead" time in the middle, once the reception starts we have to start rushing again to get all the "picture-stuff" in before she leaves... UGH!
I've had a running timeline that I've been updating for the past six months. We're about 4 months out and it's just about complete. I will be editing it until about a week before the wedding I'm sure but it's detailed.
I have a great planning excel document that contains my timeline, plus some. It's been edited for privacy, so it's not exactly the same as mine.
Below is a screen shot of my timeline, if anyones interested in receving the doc. let me know and I'll send it along.
I loved working on my timeline and other organization forms. If anyone could use a little help feel free to PM me!
I just finished mine and sent it to my wedding party, and I realized how much info I am missing--like, I have no idea who's driving (2 BMs from out of town have no car, 2 BMs live in the city and don't have cars, I'm leaving the reception in a limo), and I don't have the phone numbers for hair/makeup or the ceremony musicians.
We felt like there wasn't enough time in the reception either, but decided instead of spending another $2k or so to make the reception longer, we're just going to go to our favorite local bar/restaurant with our friends afterwards and celebrate. Should be nice and relaxing :)
@sparkedlove11: That's awesome! I'm definitely going to pm you :)
I started working on a timeline and ended up changing my hair and makeup appointment to an hour earlier (from 11 am to 10 for a 3:30 ceremony start) because I started to worry that by the time my girls and I finish hair and makeup (the salon said a conservative estimate would be 2.5 hours) and get dressed, we might be cutting it too close for our first look. I want to allow adequate time for the first look, and as many portraits with the bridal party as we can get out of the way before the ceremony and still have a few moments to collect my thoughts before the ceremony begins.
I know I NEED to have a day-of timeline, but every time I start to think about it I really wish we had more time for EVERYTHING!
Wow you guys are soooooo much more prepared than me!!
The most I have is
And after that mum worries lol
Oh my gosh, the timeline is so hectic. We had to do a preliminary one for our venue to figure out times/how many hours we needed toe hall for...and ahh! Once we did the timeline, we also realized that we needed an extra hour with the photographer. I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling with the logisitics!

OMG there is just not enough hours in the day!!!
It's so hard to fit everything in! Hair and makeup, pictures, all of the dances, speeches, dinner and blah blah blah.
Jeesh! How'd you all figure it out?!
