Event Planning Content
There are millions of things to plan when it comes to the wedding. Planning a wedding --whether big or small --can be extremely overwhelming, especially when you’re dedicating your whole time to it. There are so many details and so many people, vendors and logistics that have to be managed, so it’s really hard to avoid getting a detail missed or overlooked. But the key to your wedding going off without a hitch is timelines. Letting everyone on your team know what’s happening, helps you keep your team on the same page.Timelines also help you to make sure you and your wedding party are on the same page. So when you decide to put together a schedule for your wedding party, makes sure you follow the details below that we have compiled just for you.
Start your timeline by including any pre-wedding events that you’ll need your wedding party to attend. That includes rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, bachelorette party and much more. Clearly specify when and where the event will be taking place, as well as the time and location of the event. Strictly mention about the dress code.
Work closely with your hair and makeup specialist and try to create a timeline that is much easier to follow for your bridesmaids. The timeline should clearly mention who is having services and when. Ask your hair and makeup artist to include any specific service or any notes your stylist wants to pass on. Also, be clear beforehand if your bridesmaids are paying for themselves or not? Put the total cost of each of their appointments plus tips on the timeline so that they know to bring cash with them.
Even though your bridesmaids will be with you the whole time, it is still quite handy to clearly mention on the timeline the time for them to get dress. Are they going to get dressed before you so that they could help you with getting dressed? The same goes for groomsmen as well. Although they might need much less time to get a gentlemenlook, they would still appreciate if they are informed clearly beforehand.

You don’t have to spill every exact time of photo to them, but it is much better to at least give your friends and family a basic idea about when pictures will be taken. Having a photoshoot before the reception? Make sure your friend and family reach the venue early. Doing your photos after your vows? Make sure no one scatters too far away when you reach the aisle.
You don’t want your wedding party or family members to bombarded you with questions the early morning of your wedding. Instead of texting you directly, give them the phone number of your wedding planner, maid of honor, best man, and your parents. Their pretty much every question will be easily answered by your wedding planner.
