Wedding Planner
Everything that has to be decided, in the order it has to be decided.
It starts with the two of you ranking what matters, before any venue visit. Then the budget and the guest list together (they are the same decision), vendor comparisons, a twelve-month timeline, and a day-of section to hand to whoever runs the day.

How it is built
- Priorities first, so the budget goes to what the two of you actually care about
- Budget and guest list side by side, because every guest is food, a chair and a favour
- The same questions for every vendor, so three quotes are easy to compare
- A day-of section written for whoever runs the day, so you do not have to
It's a flat PDF: annotate it in GoodNotes or Notability, or print it. It does not have typed form fields. US Letter and A4 are both included.
