The best wedding checklist ever!

We want to create the best wedding checklist and combine it with timelines and cost data to give couples an easy quick way to create a checklist, timeline, and cost estimate/budget for their wedding.

And create a tool or widget that you can add to your website for your customers. This will be a dynamic tool where the bride or groom provides details about their wedding and we then generate a custom timeline, checklist, and cost estimate/budget guide for them.

So… We need your best checklist with timeline.

We will select the best of the best and combine them to create the “best ever”! We will then take the selected checklists/timelines and combine them with our cost estimating system to create an "industry first" tool.

For those selected, we will provide a 1yr Platinum subscription ($295 value) to The Wedding Report and we will add your name to the credits section of the tool.

How to submit

Please do not reply to this email.

Send your email submissions to:

shane@theweddingreport.com

Important: Please make sure the email subject says: “Checklist Submission” and include your checklist with timeline along with your full name or business name.

Deadline for submission is 9/30/2009

NOTE:

All checklists and timelines must be original work created by you. And, by submitting your checklists and timelines, you agree to provide The Wedding Report, Inc. a royalty free license to use, combine and publish any information submitted.
