Timeline 101: What to Include

10/1/2020

 
If you've read our Part 1 to starting your timeline then you already have your outline - the big moving pieces listed out and ready to rock. Now it's time to plug in all your specifics and make it your own and make it fit your day. Everyone has a different list, recently we are seeing less and less of some traditions such as the garter toss. So if there is anything you do or don't want to include in your wedding ceremony or reception timeline feel free to make it all you own! 
​Let's do a quick run down of some of the most common / main items.

- Cake isn't the only dessert being served anymore and it's delicious! Either way, if cake is not your main sweet but you're having a small cake to cut don't forget to make time for it. 

- Your entrance and your toasts you will need to decide who you want to be a part of it so that you can make sure both they and your vendor team are prepared. Is the DJ announcing the wedding party? Or are they just announcing the two of you?

If there is an area you just have no clue about - like photos for example, don't sweat it! Just ask your professionals. Odds are your photographer will LOVE you confirming how much time they need and will know exactly what to tell you.

- Bar hours has a few moving pieces you need to think through. The delivery of your drinks, the bartenders arrival, set up, service time (including specifics such as toasts and what drinks to prepare for those toasts), and of course the bar ending time followed up clean up. PHEW what a list! 

- Behind the scenes: There are more pieces happening with your vendor teams than you probably realize. All the small details need done - from decor and inventory pick up to room set, candles being lit to even walking the restrooms and sanitizing. 

It's pretty clear why so many couples stress over their timeline. With so much happening it isn't an area you want to breeze by and leave half done. Looking back on your day you want to think "Wow that was amazing!" not "I wish we hadn't forgot to....".
