Frequently asked questions
What is the first thing to do after getting engaged?
Celebrate first — take about two weeks before planning. Then set your total budget and draft a rough guest list, because the headcount drives every other decision, from venue size to catering cost.
What is a realistic wedding planning order of tasks?
Budget and guest list first, then venue (11–12 months out), then the vendors that book up earliest — photographer, caterer, band. Save-the-dates go 9–12 months out, dress shopping around 9 months, invitations mailed about 3 months before. The interactive list above tracks all 44 steps.
Does this wedding checklist save my progress?
Yes — every box you tick is saved automatically on your device, so you can close the page and come back later without losing anything. You can also print it or email yourself a copy.
