Our Ultimate Wedding Planning Checklist


A 12 month wedding checklist can be a valuable tool for a bride and groom as they plan their wedding. It allows them to break down all of the tasks and decisions that need to be made into manageable chunks, making the planning process less overwhelming. By following a timeline, a couple can ensure that they are on track with all of their planning and that important tasks are not forgotten. Additionally, a 12 month wedding checklist can help the couple stay organized and budget for expenses over a longer period of time, rather than trying to tackle everything at once. Overall, using a 12 month wedding checklist can help make the planning process smoother, more efficient, and less stressful for the bride and groom. Here's our suggestions:
