Does anyone have suggestions of good wedding day timeline templates?

Ugh. I stressed over this so hard! The blog A Practical Wedding has a few. We ended up with:

10am: Hair and makeup starts in bridal suite

12pm: Photographer arrives at bridal suite

1pm: Guys meet in groom's hotel room to get ready

1:30pm: Photographer arrives at Groom's room

2:00pm: Bride and BMs leave for venue

2:30pm: Groom and groomsmen leave for venue

3:00pm: First look at venue

3:30pm: Family members arrive at venue

3:15-4:30pm: Formal wedding photos

4:30pm: Groomsmen start usher duties, guests start arriving, DJ is on the clock

5:00-5:30pm: Ceremony

5:30-6:30pm: Cocktail hour, ends with DJ inviting guests downstairs

6:45pm: B&G grand entrance, goes straight into First Dance

6:50pm: Dads' toasts/welcome

7:00pm: Buffet opens

7:40pm: Wedding party toasts

7:50pm: Cake cutting

7:55pm: Father Daughter Dance followed by Mother Son Dance followed by DJ inviting everyone to dance

9:30pm: Churros

11:15pm: Last call at the bar

11:30pm: Last dance

This is very different for everyone. Have you booked anything yet? Can you give more info about your wedding and what you want so we can help?

@jenijoyk - our timelines are practically identical, only hair/makeup won't start til noon for us.  Everything is at one venue so we don't need any extra travel time after we arrive and my FSIL (doing my hair/makeup) is pretty sure I'll only take an hour -- budgeting extra time just in case though.  

I just googled timelines and read over a few, picked out what seemed to work for our wedding, added in details as they came to me.  It was easy once I sat down to do it.
