Wedding Timeline Printable: Day Of Schedule, Run of Show and Shot List
One clear plan for the whole day, so everyone knows where to be and you can just enjoy it.
Overview
Wedding timeline printable that plans your wedding day hour by hour, starting with hair and makeup and ending with the final dance and your send-off. The 8 undated pages hold a getting ready schedule, a run of show for the ceremony and reception, a photo shot list, a vendor sheet, a seating chart and a final week checklist. You receive US Letter and A4 PDF files as an instant download, and nothing is shipped.
It is made for the couple who wants to stop carrying the whole day in their head. Write it down once, share it with your helpers, and walk into the day feeling ready.
How a wedding timeline printable keeps the big day running smoothly
Plan backwards from the time everyone must be dressed, so hair and makeup stay on track. Then give each ceremony and reception moment its own time, music cue and person responsible.
With family groupings already written out and one named person gathering relatives, the family photos stay short. The vendor sheet tells your coordinator when each vendor is due and whom to call. Hand a copy to the people running the day, the officiant, coordinator, photographer and DJ, and let yourself be present instead of watching the clock.
Who this wedding day schedule is for
- Couples planning their day themselves, with no full-time planner
- Friends, maids of honor and day-of coordinators who are helping out
- Couples having a small or DIY wedding who want one simple run of show
- Anyone who wants a single printed plan to pass to family, vendors and the wedding party
Design and printing
- A soft, elegant style with white pages and light blush pink touches that need very little ink
- Wide margins all round, so nothing is lost on a home printer
- US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) and A4 (210 x 297 mm), both in portrait
- Undated, so you can start filling it in once you know your date
- Neutral wording that fits every couple
- Keep it in a binder or on a clipboard, or ask a print shop to spiral bind it
