The Wedding Planning Timeline: How to Make Your Wedding Timeline
A wedding planning timeline is necessary to keep you organized and moving forward toward your wedding day.Second only to making a budget, a detailed working wedding timeline – called a production schedule by professional event planners - is key to your planning success.
This comprehensive wedding schedule is the place where you will keep all your tasks in the order they need to be accomplished.
Warning: it may grow to be a long document.
It's more than worth the trouble. Having all your important wedding plan info in one place will do a great deal to simplify the very complicated process of planning a wedding.
Think of your timeline/schedule as your security binky.
If you wake up one day with a knot in your stomach feeling stressed, like things could be spinning out of control, check your wedding timeline / wedding planning schedule for the big view of where you’ve been, where you are right now and where you’re going.
Keep it simple.
No two weddings will have the same schedule, so working off generic checklists or worksheets you found in a glossy bridal magazine really won’t be all that helpful. You must make your own schedule.
If you’ve already collected notes, articles, and a few checklists, roll them all into one comprehensive wedding planning timeline right now and then throw them away.
Remember to review and update your schedule each time you make or change an appointment, take on a new project, or sign a contract with a vendor.
Think of your timeline/schedule as your security binky.
