How do you write a wedding party schedule for guests?

It's interesting:
"Congratulatory remarks about the wedding ... Wasn't the wedding ceremony beautiful? That row of handsome men and a parade of gorgeous attendants. And ..."

A wedding party schedule is useful for guests as it provides instructions on when different events take place and who needs to attend. Immediate family and guests in the wedding party will be required to attend many of the different wedding events, while casual guests may only be needed at the ceremony and reception. You may have more than one version of the wedding schedule for guests, since the schedule will depend on the individual.

Instructions

1. • 1

     Decide how many schedules you want to create. You can create one master schedule and pass it out to everyone or you can identify the major groups of the wedding guests and create schedules for each group.

     Examples of the different schedules you can create include a schedule for the bride and bridesmaids, schedule for the groom and groomsmen, schedule for the parents of the bride and groom and then a schedule for all other guests.

     Create a timeline for all the events that occur during the day. Many people create the timeline by working backward from the starting time of the wedding ceremony, then add the events of appointments that have already been scheduled for that day. Some times may already be set, including times for wedding pictures, flower delivery times, hair and makeup appointments and when the limousine is coming. These predetermined events will form the foundation for the timeline.

     Add travel times and meeting places into the timeline. It is usually recommended to have all individuals meet at a common place, such as all the bridesmaids meet at the bride's house. When factoring in travel times, make sure you leave plenty of time for traffic problems to ensure you stay on schedule.

     Turn the timeline into a schedule or outline. Start with the date at the top of the page, then fill in each starting time with the task next to the time. You can find templates of wedding schedules online. Simply input the information into the spaces on the schedule template.

   • 5

     Fill in the details for each task or event in the schedule. The more details available, the less confused guests will be. Provide directions to each location, as well as the contact information for each location. Include a list of any items the individual needs to bring to each event.

   • 6

     Create multiple copies of the wedding party schedule and send the schedule to all individuals in the wedding party several weeks before the wedding. If the schedule changes, make sure that you forward the new copy to everyone involved.
