Frequently asked
How far out should I be at each milestone?
+
12+ months: venue and date. 9 months: photographer, DJ, dress. 6 months: catering, florist, website. 3 months: invites, seating, timeline. Final month: payments and run-of-show.
I'm behind schedule — what do I do?
+
Skip optional tasks (welcome bags, custom monograms) and prioritize the legally required ones (marriage license) plus anything with a long lead time (alterations, stationery print runs). A day-of coordinator can recover a lot of lost time.
