Fifteen pages, deliberately finite

Most wedding planners are enormous, and the size itself is stressful: you open them, feel behind, and close them again. This one covers the guest list, the budget, the suppliers, the timeline and the day itself, and then stops.

Estimated against actual, side by side

Weddings do not go over budget in one decision. They go over in fourteen small ones, each individually reasonable. Recording your estimate next to what you actually paid, per category, is the only method that catches the drift while there is still time to do something about it.

Both currencies are irrelevant here — everything is in Rand, because that is what your suppliers quote in.

Supplier admin is the actual job

For each supplier you need four things in one place: the quote, the deposit paid, the balance and when it falls due, and a number that reaches a human. The supplier pages exist for the evening something goes wrong.

Print them and keep them together physically. That folder is what you hand to whoever is helping on the day, and it is the difference between delegating and being phoned.

A timeline that starts from your date

The timeline is undated and works backwards from whatever date you have. That matters in South Africa, where popular venues and photographers book a year ahead in some months and are wide open in others, and where a seven-month engagement is entirely normal.

Guest list, honestly

Guest count drives venue, catering and therefore most of the budget. The list pages carry RSVP status, dietary requirements and table allocation, so the information you need for the caterer and the seating plan is already collected rather than assembled in a panic three weeks out.

What you get

A 15-page PDF, printable on plain A4 and hyperlinked for tablet use, undated, with individual pages reprintable as often as plans change — which, with weddings, they will.
