Wedding planner booklet you fold at home, purse size with a day-of mini

This wedding planner booklet folds into a little book for your handbag. Inside is an undated main planner of 24 pages and a separate day-of guide of 8 pages. The pages are already placed in saddle-stitch order on landscape sheets, so you print on both sides, fold the stack and staple. You download a 19 page PDF for US Letter (making half letter pages, 5.5 x 8.5 in) and for A4 (making A5 pages, 148 x 210 mm), instantly.

Small enough for a tote, complete enough to run the whole engagement.

Why a folded wedding planner booklet works so well

Once folded, the booklet tucks into a handbag, so your budget, guest list and vendor phone numbers come along to every tasting, fitting and venue tour. There is nothing to trim: each page takes up exactly half a sheet, the first page already sits beside the last, and everything reads in order as soon as you fold.

The main planner walks you through an overview, priorities, a budget in 16 categories, payments due, a countdown in six stages, a page for counting guests, four lists with space for 104 names, nine supplier cards, quotes side by side, your wedding party, ceremony and reception plans and a gift record. The small day-of guide is for whoever runs the day for you: phone numbers, supplier arrival times, both timelines, the photo list and an emergency kit list. Print a new copy whenever you need one.

Who this booklet is for

• Engaged couples who want a slim paper planner for a purse rather than a bulky binder

Design and booklet format

• Elegant and minimal: white pages with soft blush pink details that need very little ink

• A4 version: two A5 pages per side of a landscape sheet
• Pages already in saddle-stitch order, with nothing to cut

Inside the wedding planner booklet: 19 PDF pages

1. 1Title page with the contents
2. 2Printing help: a table of both booklets showing their PDF pages and sheets, how each sheet works, two-sided print settings, a tip to test one sheet first, steps for flipping by hand and a box to note your printer settings
3. 3Folding guide: a front and back map of all 6 main planner sheets, the page order for the day-of mini booklet, five steps from printing through stacking, folding, stapling and checking, and tips for heavier paper and for stapling with an ordinary stapler
4. 4 to 15The main planner, 24 booklet pages printed on six sheets. It opens with a cover for the contents, your date and whose book it is. The overview page holds both of your names, when you got engaged, the big date, how many guests and how much budget, where the ceremony and party take place with start times and addresses, five swatches for your colors, three words for your style and your must-haves. On the priorities page each partner names a top three, then together you note what deserves extra money, where you are happy to cut back, the mood you want, inspiration and the things you will not stress about. The budget page shows the total, what has gone out and what remains, with planned, actual and paid columns for 16 categories (venue through favors), a total line and a note of who is contributing. Payments get 18 lines for due date, supplier, deposit or final balance, amount and a tick box, then sums for deposits made, money still owed, tips and last payments. The countdown runs over three pages and six stretches (12 to 10, 9 to 8, 7 to 5, 4 to 3 and 2 to 1 months out, then the final fortnight) with 41 suggested to-dos, empty lines and a notes area per stretch. The head count page tracks capacity, invitations and confirmations, a table with 8 named guest groups, one spare row and a total for invited, yes, no and pending, plus the reply deadline, when invites went out, four meal tallies and allergies to pass to the caterer. Four guest lists offer 26 lines each for name, party size, RSVP, meal and tick boxes for invite sent and thank you sent. Three pages of vendor cards cover nine suppliers (venue, officiant, photo, video, catering, cake and desserts, flowers, band or DJ, hair and makeup) with company and contact person, phone, web or email, booking date, notes, total, deposit, balance and due date. A quote page compares 3 options for each of 4 vendor types by price, inclusions and notes, with 3 questions worth asking any supplier. The wedding party page lists 12 people by name, role, phone and outfit, 6 family members or special guests, and who is in charge of which job. Ceremony details cover the officiant, an 8 step processional, readings and who reads them, music for 5 moments and a checklist for vows and rings. Reception details cover 7 key moments with the song or person and time, the toast order, songs to play and songs to skip, and announcements for the host. Finally, a 24 line gift record (from, which event, thank you box), two pages of lined notes and a back page for notes with a post-wedding checklist
5. 16 to 19The day-of mini booklet, 8 small pages from 2 sheets. Its cover has the date and lines for your helpers. A call list with 14 rows names 12 roles, from the coordinator to a family contact, and gives the three addresses for getting ready, ceremony and reception. An arrivals page has 13 rows for each supplier's time, where they set up and a tick, plus tips and payments to hand over and things to return. Two timelines follow, one for the morning and ceremony and one for the reception, with 25 rows each for time, event and person or place. A photo list holds 18 essential shots, spare lines and the family groups to call out. Then come 10 things to bring with blank spaces, a 14 item emergency kit and a final page for notes with a checklist for the end of the night
