Your Simple Wedding Planning Timeline
Planning your wedding can get stressful if you don’t have a solid timeline or if your venue doesn’t include a coordinator to help you. So, we have come up with a year out timeline to help you out. Even if you have less than a year, this timeline is helpful.
12+ Months out:
- Write up a tentative guest list that includes the people you absolutely HAVE to have there
- Come up with a solid and reasonable budget
- Search & hopefully find your venue
9-10 Months out:
- Start your dress shopping. Most bridal stores take 4-6 months to deliver the dress, so to avoid the rush fee, start early.
- Book photographer, DJ(if needed)
- Start thinking about what type of food you want to serve. If your venue is all-inclusive, this will be A LOT easier and usually built into a package
6-9 Months out:
- Send out Save The Dates
- Order invitations
- Book your florist
- Book hair and makeup and maybe have a test run with both
2-4 Months out:
- Send out invitations
- Get dress fitting
1 Month out:
- Apply for marriage license
- Final gown fitting
2 Weeks out:
- Set ceremony plan with venue
- Confirm all vendors
- Get/give final guest count to all vendors necessary
- Break in your heels, if applicable. Get comfortable in them.
Week Of:
- Try not to stress too much. If your venue is all-inclusive, they should be taking care of everything
- Pack for your honeymoon if you are leaving soon after the wedding.
- Enjoy all the time with family and friends in this special moment in life
Hopefully this gives you a good idea of the major things to take care of. Yes, we did leave some things out, but those aren’t the top priorities.
