From 10 to 12 months

This is the initial stage of wedding planning when you figure out the auspicious dates according to the religious calendars and insert them in the form of notes. This is also the time when you must decide whether or not you want to plan a destination wedding and our app/website allows you to filter out the vendors and destination accordingly. Once these steps are cleared, you will also need clarity about the dates for your pre-wedding ceremonies. The checklist feature on WeddingWire allows you to delegate the responsibilities. You can further create different guest list drafts, confirm venue budget, wedding style, enlist the shortlisted venue options, visit the venue, shortlist photographers, shortlist videographers and even makeup artists here. You must also prepare an engagement checklist by customising your options with us.

If you are wondering how to plan a wedding on a small budget or maybe even a grand one - you must get your hands on the Budget Tool feature on WeddingWire India and thank us later!

From 7 to 9 months

Seven to nine months before the wedding is just perfect for you to finalise the venue. We suggest you find a venue well in advance to ensure that the timings don’t clash or the venue is not already booked. This is also the time when you create your wedding website and your wedding hashtag. The checklist feature in our app/website takes care of the minutest details and includes check-points like agreeing on the time and deliverables with the photographer on when you receive the images and in what format, so on. You’d be pleased to see that the checklist also takes care of your pre-bridal beauty regime and fitness regime too! Yes, that is how detailed it is.

Booking the venue, bridal makeup artist, videographer, photographer and florist is an essential objective to cover during this period. While most couples celebrate their engagement way before the wedding, this is a good time to tick off the boxes on your engagement checklist.

From 4 to 6 months

Every wedding will have guests travelling from outstation (if not travelling to an outstation destination wedding) and this is why shortlisting places where the guests can put up, book their accommodations, finalising the entertainment parts like - live music, DJ, choreographer and so on is essential along with finalising your jewellery. With just 4 to 6 months in hand before the wedding, the checklist also suggests that the wedding outfits need to be picked then. This is also the perfect time for you to begin the paperwork to get your marriage registered for the marriage certificate. It is finally happening! With 4-6 months in hand, this is a great time to get your hands on the initial procedures in order to get the marriage certificate well on time.

The last month

The last month before the wedding is more about taking care of the final touches like - ordering alcohol, getting a haircut, pampering yourself, finalising the tents, follow up on guests and transportation and other vendors involved to make sure everything is on time and ready to roll for the big day without any hassle. A must-do during this time is to gather all your vendors involved in your wedding for a venue visit to ensure the plan is going right. Whatever fitting and alterations were needed for your wedding outfits must be done by now too.

The WeddingWire Checklist also makes sure to take care of the sweet little details like writing a sweet pre-wedding note for your partner and keeping special tips aside for your vendors.

2 weeks

Taking care of your personal needs like pampering yourself, finding salons for your friends and family who would want to visit one before the wedding. The checklist includes fun-to-do tasks like pack your honeymoon bags.

Last week

With just 7 days to go for the big day, you must not stress much. Instead, just take care of the little last-minute touch-ups like packing the bridal bag that needs to be taken to the venue with you in case the venue is not your home and booking the wedding cake finally. If you are ordering the wedding cake from a very famous cakery then it is best to do it a little earlier.

While taking care of the last-minute manicure and pedicure that is on your wedding day timeline, you must also make sure to download the Wedshoots app where you can upload your pre-wedding and wedding album. You must also have your reception checklist double-checked and ready by now.
