What to include in a wedding planning checklist
A useful wedding checklist breaks planning into clear sections, like a month-by-month timeline, a vendor list, a budget tracker, and a day-of schedule. Give each task a target date and a spot to mark it done, and leave room for notes and contacts. Keeping budget categories and vendor details on the same pages means everything you need is in one place.
