WEDDINGS & CELEBRATIONS

YOUR PLANNING TIMELINE

A year
to go

Alex, we built this checklist from three hundred weddings, so you always know what's next and never what's overdue.

WHAT'S DUE, AND WHEN

Six moments
to plan around

Twelve months

Book your venue and photographer

The two vendors with the least flexibility, so they come first.

Nine months

Send save the dates

Especially important if many of your guests will travel.

Six months

Order the dress and the suits

Alterations can take weeks, so this is later than it feels.

Three months

Confirm the menu and a seating draft

A rough seating chart now saves an argument in the final week.

One month

Final headcount to every vendor

The number your caterer, venue and rentals all build from.

One week

Hand off the day-of timeline

One page, one owner. Nobody should have to ask you a question that day.
