How to Plan a Wedding Month by Month
There’s no single “right way” to plan a wedding. Some couples love detailed spreadsheets, others prefer simple checklists. What matters most is staying organised, communicating openly, and enjoying the journey together.
A typical wedding planning timeline looks like this:
12–18 Months Before
Set your budget, guest list, and book your venue and key suppliers.
9–12 Months Before
Choose outfits, book remaining suppliers, and organise accommodation.
6–9 Months Before
Send save-the-dates, order rings, plan décor, and book your honeymoon.
3–6 Months Before
Send invitations, finalise menus, confirm suppliers, and begin seating plans.
1–3 Months Before
Final fittings, final guest numbers, wedding day schedule, and payments.
Final Weeks
Confirm everything, relax, and enjoy the build-up.
