Most couples begin their checklist 12 to 18 months before the wedding. The earlier you start, the more time you have to compare vendors, secure dates, and avoid last-minute stress.
What tasks are included?
We include everything from booking your venue and choosing a caterer to mailing invitations and confirming your timeline with vendors the week before.
Can I share the list?
Yes. Your partner, wedding planner, or family members can view and update the checklist from their own devices so everyone stays in sync.
How does it connect to other tools?
Checklist tasks link to your budget, vendor manager, and guest list. Completing a task in one place updates the others automatically.
