Week 1: celebrate and align
Tell the people who need to know. Then have one calm money and size conversation: rough total you can spend, and a soft guest ceiling. Those two numbers prevent most later fights.
Week 2: date and location shape
Pick a season or target month, and decide local vs destination. You do not need the exact Saturday yet — you need enough to start venue availability checks.
Week 3: venue and photographer shortlists
Tour or enquire with a short list that fits capacity and budget. Photography books early in many markets — treat it as a foundation vendor beside the venue.
Week 4: one workspace and a soft guest site
Move tasks out of chat. Invite your partner to the same checklist. Soft-launch a guest page with date and city when those are firm so save-the-dates have a link later.
How Weduler helps
Create the wedding, invite your partner, and start from a regional checklist template (US, Canada, UK, Australia, and more) so the next thirty days have owners — not vibes.
