WEDDING TIMELINE TIPS TO KEEP YOUR DAY ON SCHEDULE

1️⃣ Create a Detailed Timeline: Outline every event of the day, from getting ready right the way through to your exit. Include start times, durations, and any transitions.

2️⃣ Allocate Buffer Time: Add buffer periods between activities to account for unexpected delays. This prevents stress and ensures you stay on track even if things run slightly behind.

3️⃣ Communicate with Suppliers: Share your timeline with all suppliers well in advance. Make sure they're aware of their roles and responsibilities at each stage of the day.

4️⃣ Appoint a Point Person: Choose a responsible friend, family member, or wedding coordinator to oversee logistics. They can handle any on-the-day issues, allowing you to fully enjoy the festivities.

5️⃣ Distribute a Schedule: Provide a simplified schedule to the bridal party and key participants. This helps everyone know where they need to be and when.

6️⃣ Get Ready Nearby: If possible, get ready close to the ceremony and reception venues. This minimises travel time and potential delays.

7️⃣ Assign Tasks: Delegate small tasks, like collecting gifts or guiding guests, to reliable friends or family members. This lightens your load and ensures everything is taken care of.

8️⃣ Have an Emergency Kit: Prepare a kit with essentials like a sewing kit, safety pins, tissues, stain remover, and a basic first aid kit. You'll be ready for any unforeseen mishaps.

9️⃣ Practice Transitions: Walk through transitions, like moving from the ceremony to the reception, during your rehearsal. This helps everyone know where to go and what to do.

🔟 Stay Flexible: While a timeline is important, be prepared to adapt if things don't go exactly as planned. Flexibility and a positive attitude make for a more enjoyable day.
