Wedding Day Coordination Tips
- Print 8 to 10 copies of this schedule and distribute them to all key vendors, bridesmaids, groomsmen, and immediate family at the rehearsal dinner.
- Add a 15-minute buffer between hair/makeup completion and bridal party photos to absorb unexpected delays without shifting the ceremony start time.
- Pair this master schedule with our Emergency Contact & Family Info Sheet to keep emergency contacts and medical information handy for traveling relatives.
Coordinator advice:
Assign your designated vendor tip envelopes to the wedding coordinator or best man ahead of time so final gratuities can be handed out smoothly during breakdown.
