Months 12–9: foundations
Agree budget band and guest ceiling, shortlist venues, book venue and photographer when ready, draft the first guest list, and start paperwork research if marrying abroad.
Months 8–5: suppliers and story
Catering, attire, florals, music, and lodging blocks. Soft-launch a guest website with date, location, and travel notes even before formal invitations.
Months 4–2: invitations and RSVP ops
Send invitations with clear RSVP deadlines. Track replies weekly. Finalize menu, seating draft, and day-of timeline skeleton.
Final month: freeze and hand off
Lock catering numbers, confirm vendors, share the run sheet, pack marriage paperwork, and assign day-of roles. Celebrate closed tasks — do not reopen décor debates.
Regional templates
Weduler seeds checklist templates for US, Canada, UK, and Australia as starting points. EU couples should adapt legal and booking timelines to the country of marriage — there is no single EU checklist.
