Wedding planner Keep track of your planning progress by printing off this list and putting it in a safe place. Remember to update it as soon as possible after you've booked or arranged something, which will avoid stress later on

Now you're getting down to plan your happiest day, you could easily get overwhelmed with the amount of things to organise and the large amount of arrangements to make. You could employ a wedding organiser to do the graft on your behalf, but most couples like to organise their wedding themselves. So, with that in mind, we present your print-out-and-keep wedding planner, with all of the things to do, when to do them, and spaces to write down who and where you've booked. Simply print out the page using the button on your browser's toolbar, or the Print option from your File menu. If there's anything we've missed, or you'd like some help, please feel free to email us and we'll do our best to assist. We've added some time guides for reference. Also, make sure that whenever you book something, that you insist on a written confirmation of the booking. Don't let your big day be ruined by leaving anything to chance. Happy planning!
