WEDDING TIMELINE CHECKLIST

We hope you find this checklist helpful as you plan your wedding. The To-Do-List is organized

from 9-12 months before the wedding until the days following a wedding. You may not need all

that is on this list. Tailor it for your needs.

DO THIS FIRST:

Before you get engaged and talking about the possibility of marriage, that is the optimal

time to seek relationship coaching! Please see the flier: “Before The I Do’s.” If you are already

engaged, start your relationship coaching right away. You’ll be glad you did.

9-12 months before

☐ Get a folder/binder to put all of your information

☐ Set up a wedding budget. Who pays for what?

☐ Officially announce your engagement

☐ Contact officiant and set the wedding date

☐ Decide on style of wedding (formal, semi-formal, informal, etc.)

☐ Choose and book reception site

☐ Choose and book ceremony location

☐ Need a wedding planner? Contact them now

☐ Start first draft of your guest list

6-9 months before

☐ Consider setting up a wedding website

☐ Announce wedding date (especially for those out-of-town)

☐ Start shopping for wedding dress, shoes, and accessories
