The planning form

How couples capture every detail of their event — timeline, music, formalities, and more — page by page, without flooding your inbox.

The planning form is where couples give you everything you need to run their event. It's a guided, multi-step form that saves as they go — so they can fill it in over time and you always have the latest.

What it covers

The form is organized into sections:

  • Event info — arrival times, reception start/end, vendors (venue contact, photographer, videographer), guest count by age.
  • Music — your DJ personality, genre preferences, must-play and do-not-play lists.
  • Formalities — introductions, first dance, parent dances, cake cutting, toasts, bouquet/garter, last dance (each with songs).
  • Grand entrance — who's announced and how.
  • Toasts — speakers and order.
  • Ceremony — processional/recessional moments and songs, readings, unity ceremony.
  • Notes — anything else you should know.

Saved page by page

Each section saves on its own, and progress is tracked. When every section is complete, the event's planning is marked done — which auto-completes the matching checklist item (see Checklists & forms).

Share it with vendors

Need to hand the timeline and music details to a photographer or venue? Use the Vendor sheet preset when you print or share a document — it includes the planning form but leaves out the contract and payment amounts.

Checklist

  • Point the couple to their planning form
  • Encourage them to save as they go (no need to finish in one sitting)
  • Review their music and formalities ahead of the event
  • Export a Vendor sheet for the photographer / venue
