12+ Months Before:

• Pick a date. (Bonus points if it’s not during peak allergy season.)

• Set your budget. (Dream big, spend smart—or win the lottery.)

• Draft the guest list. (Decide who makes the cut. Sorry, Aunt Mildred’s third cousin.)

• Book the venue. (Because "backyard chic" only works if you have a backyard.)

• Recruit your bridal squad. (Choose wisely—they’ll see you cry over napkin colors.)

6-9 Months Before:

• Order bridesmaid dresses. (Prepare for group-text chaos.)

• Finalize the guest list. (Yes, again. People have opinions.)

• Send save-the-dates. (So guests can’t say, “I didn’t know!”)

• Take engagement photos. (Perfect for social media humblebrags.)

9-12 Months Before: —— Sign Contract with Weddings by Q!!!

• Find the dress. (Tears optional, but expected.)

• Lock in your vendors. (Photographers, DJs, caterers—aka your wedding Avengers.)

• Reserve hotel blocks for guests. (Or at least warn them they’ll need one.)

• Book the honeymoon. (Because you’ll need a vacation from your wedding planning.)

4-6 Months Before:

• Book hair/makeup pros. (Because YouTube tutorials only get you so far.)

• Choose your wedding rings. (Shiny, sparkly, and hopefully not lost.)

• Hash out ceremony details. (Vows, readings, and whether Uncle Bob gets a microphone.)

• Taste cake. (The most deliciously critical decision.)

2-4 Months Before:

• Send invitations. (And brace for RSVP drama.)

• Schedule dress fittings. (Because "perfect fit" is an evolving concept.)

• Plan the seating chart. (Strategic placement to avoid family feuds.)

• Confirm vendors. (Are they still alive? Do they remember you?)

1-2 Months Before:   ———- Pay Weddings by Q :-)

• Apply for your marriage license. (Kind of important, legally speaking.)

• Track RSVPs. (Some guests think "RSVP" stands for "Respond Slowly, Very Probably.")

• Final dress fitting. (Cross your fingers—and toes.)

• Make the schedule. (Guests love knowing when to eat cake.)

1-2 Weeks Before: ———- Finalize Timeline … Weddings by Q comes to save the day!

• Confirm everything with everyone. (Be the friendly-but-firm Bridezilla if needed.)

• Pack for the honeymoon. (Don’t forget sunscreen or your sanity.)

• Break in your wedding shoes. (Blisters are not a cute accessory.)

• Delegate tasks. (You’re the queen; let your minions help.)
