Hey, hey, heyyyyy! My name is Jessica (aka Wayfaring Wanderer) and I am a free-spirited photographer who loves working with couples, individuals, and families who are committed to travel, adventure, and laid-back lifestyles. I've lived in the Boone, NC area since 2005 and I'm known for capturing the spirit of the folks I photograph—the expressions, gestures, and details that are outward expressions of our innermost selves. While I'm primarily a wedding + elopement photographer, I also love working w/ individuals/couples/families that are traveling to the High Country area to getaway to the mountains. I absolutely love what I do and am so grateful to work with some of the most amazing people in one of the most beautiful places EVAR. Let’s go on an adventure!
I know that this wedding planning process is slightly scary and overwhelming. It makes you dizzy just thinking about the 1,000,001 things you have to do before your big day arrives. This wedding planning checklist will help relieve some of that stress.
Are you feeling lost and wondering where to start? I get it. Because I’ve been there, too.
That’s why I decided to create a wedding planning resource to help you navigate the uncertainties that can accompany the myriad of challenges you’ll face when planning your own wedding.
This mini-guide will, hopefully, act as your compass and point you in the right direction!
When I got married last year I planned our spontaneous wedding in just three weeks with a $1,000 budget. Sounds insane? Yeah, it was, but I did it anyway and now we’re married! (Finally.)
Could you use a little help with your wedding planning?
Since I had a rather difficult time finding anything to assist me during our planning process, I wanted to use my personal experience to create a resource that will make this seemingly insurmountable task feel more doable.
It’s my hope that this 12-Month Wedding Planning Checklist will help the process seem a little less stressful and a lot more awesome for you!
Here’s what’s included in the 12-Month Wedding Planning Checklist:
» 12 to 9-month wedding checklist with 35 items
» 8 to 6-month wedding checklist with 21 items + 13 blank spaces
» 5 to 4-month wedding checklist with 22 items + 13 blank spaces
» 3 to 1-month wedding checklist with 21 items + 17 blank spaces
» 1 week to go wedding checklist with 13 items + 31 blank spaces
» (5) Divider pages for each checklist with wedding pictures to help inspire your own ideas.
» (1) Blank wedding to-do page with spaces to add your own tasks. Print as many as you need!
I created this twelve-month checklist to give you a grand overview that would outline specific tasks you’ll want to start thinking about, and crossing off your to-do list during the months leading up to your wedding.
Now, I know your wedding is unique and some items may or may not apply to you. If that’s the case, simply put a line through any tasks you won’t need to complete and move on. Easy peasy!
Wedding planning shouldn’t take over your life, and your relationship shouldn’t be suffering because of it! My goal was to create a quick reference guide that will free you up for more adventures with your honey while you’re preparing for your wedding day. I did my best to create the most comprehensive checklist possible, however, I also left plenty of blank spaces available on some pages so that you can add in your own action items and reminders. There’s also an entirely blank page that can be filled in if you prefer to create your own list!
Wondering how you can get a copy of the 12-Month Wedding Planning Checklist?
Easy. It’s a free gift when you sign up for weekly emails from me (your adventurous ally). Once you become part of the tribe and are subscribed to the Weekly Wander, you will automatically receive a download link in a welcome email!
