How to use it

1. Download the PDF for your paper size (A4 or US Letter), and use the low-ink edition for everyday copies.
2. On your first evening, complete the Start Here page together: set your budget split, name your three non-negotiables and work through the first-72-hours checklist.
3. Hold a 30-minute check-in each week, work through that week's countdown tasks and write a name in each 'Who' blank.
4. Log quotes, deposits and spending on the comparison tables and trackers as you book, and copy due dates onto the monthly calendars.
5. Plan DIY projects on the DIY Project Planner and schedule work sessions on the calendars, away from vendor deadlines.
6. In week 5, fill in the Helper Task Cards and write each helper's name on the Helper line. Print them on card stock, cut along the dashed lines and hand them out in week 2.
7. In the final week, use the Final Week and Wedding-Day Checklist and give copies of the Day-of Timeline to your point person and vendors.
