Found this while browsing for some bridal things. The original list can be viewed here. There are actually 75 items on the list but I have crossed out the things that are not needed and won't take place in my wedding. I sincerely hope this list will be able to tone down my bridzilla mode.
- Plan your day for yourself, not for others
- Take advantage of the Internet (sites, search engines etc.)
- Get the groom to be involved, it’s his wedding too
- Seat older guests away from loud music
- Pamper yourself! Treat your mom and girls to a spa day before the wedding
- Be realistic about weight loss goals when selecting your gown
- Consider some of your photos in black and white, they are timeless
- Have someone else do your makeup, you will be too nervous and critical
- Send your invitations out 6-8 weeks before the wedding
- Don’t invite guests you really don’t want to see at your wedding
- Try to stay within your allocated budget
- See several of each vendor before making these important decisions
- Go over the kinds of pictures you will want with your photographer well ahead of time
- Assign someone to collect and return all rented items from your wedding day
- Preserve your gown…your own daughter or another family member may be able to use it one day
- Look at your guests when walking down the aisle with a big smile, you don’t want to miss your own wedding Have all of your travel documents 6 months in advance

- Make all payments in a timely manner
- Wear waterproof mascara
- Get a good nights sleep the night before your wedding
- Do not let friends or family talk you in to things you don’t want for your wedding
- Be sure to eat on your wedding day, it’s easy to forget or be too excited but you don’t want to get run down
- Give each other a wedding gift on your wedding night
- Take time to visit with as many guests as possible
- Be creative and personalize your wedding
- Do not get haircuts closer than 1 month before your wedding
- Make appointments with vendors so you are not disappointed if they are unavailable
- Think about how the wedding colors you select will look at the reception site
- Do not have drastically different hair and makeup from your everyday look
- Take time to look around and enjoy everything you have been planning for so long
