Checklists, Budget and Timeline Without the Stress
by LiaPink Books
Planning a wedding is not hard because of any single decision. It is hard because hundreds of decisions arrive in the wrong order, money disappears in small amounts, and everything lives in your head. This book fixes all three.
Plan Your Wedding starts with three short conversations that settle your priorities, guest count and budget before you book anything. Then it walks you month by month from engagement to the day itself, with a timeline that works for a year-long engagement or a six-month sprint.
You get a budget framework with a built-in buffer and a worked example, the exact questions to ask venues, photographers, caterers and musicians, a contract checklist, and polite scripts for negotiating prices, chasing RSVPs and handling relatives who want more invitations. There is a complete day-of run of show, a family photo list, a week-of plan, an emergency kit list and thank-you note templates.
Warm, practical and adaptable to any culture or budget, it is the calm planning friend you wish you had from day one.
What you get:
• Three conversations that set your priorities, guest count and budget
• A flexible budget framework with a 10 percent buffer and worked example
• A month-by-month checklist timeline, plus a short-engagement plan
• Questions to ask every vendor and a contract checklist
• Copy-ready scripts for guests, family and vendors
• A full day-of timeline, family photo list and emergency kit
• Vow template, thank-you note examples and after-wedding to-dos
Wedding budgets usually fail in the same way: the big items are tracked, and the small ones quietly add up. Postage, alterations, hair trials, vendor meals, tips, service charges, taxes and delivery fees can together become a meaningful sum. This chapter gives you a budget with room built in for exactly those things.
Add up three numbers:
That sum is your total. Many couples are tempted to plan on credit and "sort it out later". Starting married life with wedding debt is a choice some make, but if you can avoid it, the months after the wedding will feel much lighter.
Before you allocate anything, take 10 percent of your total off the top and label it "buffer". This is not for upgrades. It covers the costs you have not thought of yet. If you reach the wedding with buffer left, it becomes honeymoon money or the start of your savings.
There is no correct split, because prices vary enormously by country, city and season. Use the table below as a starting framework and then move money toward your top three priorities.
