Wedding timeline template: planning checklist and wedding day schedule

Type your wedding date and ceremony start time. The planning checklist calculates a due date for every task, and the wedding day schedule calculates the time for every moment of the day.

Move anything by changing the minutes, and the rest stays in order. Works in Excel and Google Sheets.

Wedding planning checklist with due dates

From setting the budget a year out to the rehearsal the day before, each task gets a due date counted back from your wedding date. Mark tasks done as you go.

Wedding day timeline and schedule

Hair and makeup, photos, ceremony, cocktail hour, entrance, dinner, toasts, first dance, cake cutting and send-off, each with a time calculated from your ceremony start.

Export to PDF from Excel or Google Sheets and send it to your photographer, venue, DJ and wedding party a week before the day.

Yes. Change the ceremony start time to shift the whole day, or change the minutes for one item.

Does it work in Google Sheets?

Yes. Upload the .xlsx to Google Drive and open it with Google Sheets.

Does the checklist cover legal steps?

It includes a reminder for the marriage license, but rules differ by location, so check your local requirements.
