This inclusive wedding planning checklist has been around since 2007 because it doesn’t assume ANYTHING about you. Not who proposed. Not what your gender is (or if you have one!). Not whether you have a bridal party, a rehearsal dinner, a honeymoon, or only one partner. It assumes you’re planning a wedding and you’d like to not lose your mind doing it.
The timeline runs from “figure out your general vision” through the week after the wedding, organized by month and then by week as the date approaches. Thirteen pages, full color, printable. It will also remind you that taking a sedative or masturbating the night before is a legitimate wedding-eve strategy, which is more than The Knot has ever done for you.
Who this checklist is for
This checklist was written for couples who feel nauseous when lookiong at standard wedding planning resource, immediately seeing items that feel grossly mainstream and irrelevant them. Specifically, this checklist is meant for:
- LGBTQ+ and queer couples
- Nonbinary, genderqueer, and trans partners
- Neurodivergent folks planning a wedding around their actual needs
- Plus-size couples
- Couples who aren’t white
- Polyamorous and non-monogamous families
- Folks over 40
- Nearlyweds who aren’t rich
- Engaged folks with disabilities
If you’re planning a wedding that doesn’t fit the mainstream template, this checklist was written with you in mind.
What’s included
One full-color, printable PDF: 13 pages of checklist items organized by month, then by week as your date approaches. The timeline runs from initial vision-setting through the week after the wedding. Language is gender-neutral throughout, nothing assumes a bridal party or a honeymoon or a partner whose role is predetermined, and yes, there is a reminder about the night-before sedative/masturbation situation.
