Wedding planning timeline
What to plan, and when.
Instead of staring at one enormous project, work through the next useful set of decisions. If your wedding is closer, begin at the stage that matches the time you have.

Build the foundation.
Set priorities, budget range, guest-count range and date options. Secure the venue and any high-demand professional support.
Book the core team.
Confirm the vendors who shape the day, begin attire, create guest communication tools and record every payment date.
Design the guest experience.
Plan invitations, ceremony, food, rentals, transportation, lodging and the first version of the room layout.
Connect the details.
Build the timeline, refine décor and music, send invitations, choose menus and account for children or accessibility needs.
Confirm and hand off.
Close RSVPs, complete seating, confirm vendors, prepare payments and move final instructions to the people helping.
Protect the celebration.
Share the final plan, pack carefully, rehearse where needed and avoid reopening decisions that are already good enough.
