Wedding Checklist Template (Printable PDF & GoodNotes)

A wedding planning checklist in six timed boxes: 12+ months, 9 months, 6 months, 3 months, 1 month and week of. Each starts with the key jobs, from setting the budget and booking the venue to sending invitations, final fittings and paying final balances, with space to add your own.

What's on it

One page, ready to fill in.

  • Boxes for 12+ months, 9 months, 6 months, 3 months, 1 month and week of
  • Undated, so you can print or duplicate it as often as you need

Who it's for

Newly engaged couples, couples planning without a wedding planner, parents and wedding party members who want to help, and planners who want a simple client checklist. It also helps couples planning a vow renewal, civil ceremony or small elopement, where the list is shorter but the order of jobs is the same.

How to use it

Getting the most from a wedding checklist.

  1. Set the budget before anything else

    It's the first item for a reason. The budget decides the guest count, the venue and almost everything that follows.

  2. Shift the timeline if you're engaged for less than a year

    With six months, combine the first three boxes into the first two months. The order still holds; the gaps get shorter.

  3. Add your own tasks

    Officiant, marriage licence, hair trial, rings, favours, transport, honeymoon. Write them into the box where they fit.

  4. Share tasks out

    Put initials next to each job so partners, family and the wedding party know what they're doing.

  5. Use it with the budget and guest list

    The checklist says when; the wedding budget and guest list templates track the details.

  6. Set a weekly planning hour

    Choose one evening a week for wedding tasks. Planning in regular, short sessions avoids it taking over every conversation.
