Wedding planning timeline template

A wedding planning timeline spreads the work over the year so nothing lands at the last minute. This example counts down from twelve months out to the week of the wedding, with a short checklist for each stage, then plans the day itself from hair and make-up to carriages, with a rough budget split alongside.

How to use this template

  1. Book the big things first

    Venue, date, caterer and photographer book up earliest, so keep them in the first two columns. Move tasks earlier if your date is in peak season.

  2. Tick as you go

    Each column is a checklist you can tick in the editor. Add tasks that matter to you, such as a dress fitting or a welcome dinner, in the right month.

  3. Plan the day backwards

    Fill the day-of schedule from the ceremony time outwards. Share it with the venue, photographer and anyone giving a speech so everyone has the same times.

Questions about this template

What if the wedding is less than a year away?

Keep the stages in the same order and merge the early columns, so the most important bookings still come first.
