Plan Your Wedding Like a Project. Then Hand Off the Day and Be Present.

Most wedding planners help you organize. This one helps you manage. Your wedding has a budget, a deadline, a team of vendors and a dozen people with opinions. That’s a project, and projects run smoothly when every task has an owner, every decision has a reason and everyone knows the plan.

My Wedding Project Planner is the flagship planner of WedPM™: The Wedding Project Method™, created by Renita Kelley, a Wedding Project Manager with decades of wedding industry experience. It walks you and your partner through all five stages of planning, from your first conversation to your last thank-you note, with the same tools professional planners use.

What Makes It Different

• Every task has an owner, a target date and a status: 71 tasks, from 18 months out to the final two weeks
• A Wedding Project Charter you sign together, with your vision, top 3 priorities, budget limit and non-negotiables
• A Stakeholder Map and Who Decides What page, so everyone knows who has the final say
• A Payment Schedule Tracker with every deposit, balance and due date
• A Decision Log and a Risk & Backup Plan for rain, vendor no-shows and budget surprises
• A Weekly Couple Check-In that shares the planning load
• A checkpoint at the end of every stage, so you know you’re ready to move forward
• A Day-Of Handoff Kit your coordinator can run the day from

Five Stages, One Shared Plan

• Stage 1: Dream & Discover. Vision and goals, project charter, stakeholders, date options, preliminary budget, guest count estimator, task tracker and 12 undated monthly calendars
• Stage 2: Plan & Prepare. Budget tracker, expense log, payment schedule, vision and mood boards, wedding party, vendor and venue comparisons, decision log and risk plan
• Stage 3: Design & Coordinate. Design and décor plan, attire, menu and catering, ceremony planner, gift registry, a guest list and RSVP tracker for 150 guests, accommodations and wedding party duties
• Stage 4: Monitor & Execute. Final guest count, seating plan, table assignments and vendor contract summaries
• Stage 5: Wrap-Up & Celebrate. Post-wedding checklist, thank-you tracker, wedding night checklist, honeymoon planner and packing lists, and a look back at your journey together
• Project Toolkit: weekly check-ins, vendor meeting notes, plus lined and dot-grid pages
