Can I turn it into a countdown checklist?

Rename the main branches to twelve months out, six months out, one month out and the final week, and list the tasks for each stage.

Can I print it for relatives?

Yes. Export PNG or Word and print; increase the font size in the style panel if the text is small.

Is this too much for a small wedding?

Delete what you do not need. Venue, guests and the day itself are enough for a small event.

Mind map

Wedding planning checklist mind map template

A wedding planning mind map with seven branches: budget, date and venue, attire and photos, vendors, guests, the day itself and after the wedding. Add or remove items for your size and traditions, then export PNG, SVG, Word or PowerPoint free.

Previewed in the “Cinnabar” theme; you can switch themes in the editor

When to use it

Wedding planning has many tasks over many months, so list everything first and then hand items out. The seven branches run from setting a date to wrapping up afterward, and each item can be given to a specific person.

Make it yours

Add an owner and a due date after each item, such as "Invitations, Sam, two months before".
Traditions vary, so add or remove steps for your families.
For the order of tasks over time, pair it with a Gantt chart.
