Creating a Wedding Day Timetable is essential. It will ensure that your special day will run smoothly. This timetable is set up to help you with the planning of your day and will help you schedule each hour of your day to the fullest. You will want to keep a copy of this schedule handy and also give one to your wedding planner so that he/she can stay on top of any last minute changes, and alert the photographer, caterer, baker, florist, musicians, and any other interested parties, as neccessary. It is critical that your wedding planner have this list so he/she can make sure that your day is not interrupted by unexpected or unplanned events. I have created the following list, which you can modify, so that you will have an idea of where to begin your planning for your special day. Make sure that you put a time that you would like each item to begin so that your special day will run smoothly.
