Wedding Blog
It is officially crunch time! There are about three weeks left until our wedding and we have a lot to do still. Mr. Grasshopper and I have been using Backpackit.com to help us keep track of our shared wedding to do list. Mr. Grasshopper is an obsessive organizer (we refer to him as Captain Schedule) and hates the idea of having multiple to-do lists emailed or floating around, so we are relying on the free version of Backpackit to help us out.
Backpackit lets you create a document and invite others to edit the same file. Instead of 6 Word documents named todo_v1.doc, todo_v2.doc, etc., we have one shared document that can be easily accessed and updated from any computer. There are many software applications that allow multi-user editing, but so far this one has been rather easy to use and shows a great example on the site of how one could use it to help plan a wedding.
Our wedding to-do lists has the following categories:
Miss Grasshopper to-do (strangely the longest list…)
Mr. Grasshopper to-do
Shared to-do
Think about
Done! (my favorite list)

Mr. Bee and I used to use basecamp which I think is the pay version of that software. But then just got lazy with no wedding to plan. 
So close! You must be getting so excited! Got that site written down…I’m sure it’ll be waaay helpful!
off to sign up . . .
Great suggestion! I’ll be sure to check it out
And I sure know the feeling about a too-long “to-do” list–mine also has more on it than Jeff’s or anyone else’s!
we used Google spreadsheets when my husband and I planned ours!
I think we’re using a homebased wedding planning program. Great for organizing and such, but I’ve been lazy on updating it.. haha..
Great suggestion! I went and signed up for it…I’m sure it will be very helpful. Now I just have to get my fiance to use it. Lol.
OMIGOD i am a backpack ADDICT! it runs my life. All of our parents live out of town so we used it to share all the venues we checked out with them and that was great.
I got a pay scrip to basecamp for the wedding planning and it’s awesome but i must admit, decided it was time to step away from it for a bit. it was making me way too obsessive for one year out!
