Planning your wedding should feel magical—not overwhelming. But with so many moving parts, it’s easy to get lost in a sea of to-do lists, timelines, and “helpful” advice from every direction.
That’s why having a clear, personalized wedding timeline is a total game-changer.
At EverVow, we make building that timeline simple—and kind of fun. Here’s how to break it down (and how EverVow can help you do it automatically).
Step 1: Start With Your Wedding Date and Work Backwards
Once you’ve locked in your date, you can reverse engineer every major decision. Think:
- When to send save-the-dates and invites
- Booking your venue and vendors
- Dress shopping and alterations
- Creating your registry
- Final headcount and seating plans
💡 EverVow Tip: Sign up for a free EverVow account, and we’ll generate a custom timeline based on your wedding date, location, and planning style—no spreadsheets required.
Step 2: Map Out the Wedding Day Itself
Your wedding day has its own rhythm. Start sketching out:
- Getting ready (hair, makeup, dressing)
- First look or pre-ceremony photos
- Ceremony start time
- Cocktail hour and reception schedule
- Special moments (first dance, speeches, cake cutting)
- Last call and send-off
💡 Pro move: Our EverVow dashboard lets you drag, drop, and edit your wedding day timeline in real time—and even share it with your vendors and bridal party.
Step 3: Account for Buffer Time (and Breathing Room)
Things always take a little longer than expected. Add 10–15 minute buffers between major events to avoid stress and allow for spontaneity.
That way, you’re not rushing through the day—you’re savoring every second of it.
Step 4: Delegate Like a Boss
You shouldn’t be checking your phone for schedule changes on your wedding day. Assign trusted friends or a day-of coordinator to manage the timeline so you can be fully present.
💡 With EverVow: you can assign roles and notify key people instantly when something on your timeline changes.
Step 5: Let EverVow Do It For You 💍
Here’s the truth: You can make a perfect wedding timeline with sticky notes and Google Docs…
…but why not have a smart assistant that does it all for you?
When you sign up for EverVow, you get:

- Reminders and smart suggestions for every phase of planning
- One-click sharing with vendors, family, and your fiancé(e)
- Peace of mind, on autopilot
