You’re engaged. You’re excited. And then suddenly everyone starts asking questions. Have you picked a date? Found a venue? Booked a photographer? Started your guest list? Wedding planning can go from exciting to overwhelming surprisingly fast—not because any one task is particularly difficult, but because there are so many of them.
That’s exactly why we created the Bride to Baby Wedding Checklist.
Instead of trying to remember hundreds of little details or wondering whether you’re already behind, this planner creates a wedding timeline based on your actual wedding date.
A Wedding Checklist Built Around Your Date
This isn’t a generic list telling every bride to complete the same task in the same month.
Simply enter:
Your new last name
Your wedding date
And the spreadsheet automatically calculates the recommended start date and target completion date for each task.
So instead of asking:
When should I order my dress?
When do save-the-dates go out?
When should we book the photographer?
When do I need the marriage license?
You can open your planner and know exactly what needs your attention next.
More Than 300 Wedding Planning Tasks
We included the big things everyone remembers—and the little things that are incredibly easy to forget.
The checklist covers everything from:
- Budgeting and your guest list
- Venues and wedding planners
- Photography and videography
- Catering, cake and the bar
- Flowers and rentals
- Wedding dress and formalwear
- Hair and makeup
- Save-the-dates and invitations
- Wedding websites and registries
- Hotel blocks and transportation
- Ceremony planning and vows
- Seating charts and reception details
- Rehearsal dinner planning
- Vendor payments and gratuities
- Marriage-license requirements
- Wedding-week packing
- Wedding-day responsibilities
- Honeymoon preparation
- Thank-you notes and post-wedding name changes
There are 348 planning tasks already built into the spreadsheet.
And because every wedding is different, you can mark things as complete, in progress, waiting or not applicable.
Know What Needs to Happen Next
The planner also lets you track your:
Status · Priority · Owner · Vendor/Contact · Notes
There’s even a planning dashboard showing your overall progress, completed tasks, overdue items and things coming due soon.
The goal isn’t to make you obsess over a checklist.
It’s actually the opposite.
When everything is written down and organized in one place, you can stop carrying your entire wedding in your head.
Start With Your Wedding Date
You don’t need to plan everything today.
You just need to know what comes next.
Enter your wedding date, personalize your planner, and let the Bride to Baby Wedding Checklist build the timeline for you.
