The Wedding Planner (Paperback)

Eighteen months of planning and a record of the day, in one paperback book. The budget, vendor details, guest list and running sheet sit together on paper instead of across a phone full of notes and spreadsheets. When the wedding is over, the memory pages at the back turn the planner into a keepsake: something a screen cannot give, a real book you hold, write in, and hand on.

Who it is for

Newly engaged couples who like to plan with a pen, and anyone after an engagement gift that gets used straight away and kept afterwards. The sample processional and day-of schedules follow a traditional bride-and-groom wedding, with ruled lines to write your own.

What is inside

Ten chapters, starting with a short welcome. Every page is laid out to be written in: tick-box checklists, labelled form boxes, ruled tables and lined notes, with watercolour wedding florals, bouquets, arches, rings and cakes throughout.

• The 18-Month Timeline: 18 monthly checkpoint pages, from 18 Months Out to 1 Month, each with a tick-box checklist and a lined notes box.
• Budget Worksheets: setting your budget and who is contributing, a rough percentage guide, four trackers with estimated, actual and paid columns, and a running total.
• Vendor Tracking: ten vendor pages, from photographer and florist to celebrant and cake, with form boxes for contact details, contracts and payments.
• Guest List Tracker: a how-it-works page, eight tracker tables with room for 120 households, and a summary page for RSVPs and the final headcount.
• Ceremony Planning and Reception Planning: order of service, readings, vows, ring exchange, processional order, seating chart, speeches, must-play and do-not-play songs, cake, favours and send-off.
• Day-Of Timeline: sample hour-by-hour schedules with a column for your own times, an emergency kit checklist and a day-of contact list.
• Honeymoon Planning: destination basics, a packing checklist and a gentle first day.
• Memory Pages: eleven prompts to fill in after the wedding, from The Engagement and The Morning Of to The Last Dance and a letter to your future selves, to be read on your fifth anniversary.
