Take the stress out of wedding planning with this month-by-month guide that simplifies the ins and outs of saying I do!

Whether you’re eloping at city hall or throwing a reception for all of your friends and family to attend, How to Plan a Wedding is a checklist-in-a-guide that helps you knock out to-dos and divvy up tasks so you can enjoy every minute of your engagement, based on a twelve-month countdown that can be condensed or expanded to fit your needs. Start with the wedding style quiz and then take this book to every venue visit (that’s in month one), vendor appointment (month three), tasting (month four), and fitting (month ten). You can even bring it along for the ride to your bach party (plan that in month seven).

With inclusive tips for LGBTQ+ couples and multicultural ceremonies, How to Plan a Wedding encourages you to choose the things you actually want at your wedding and skip those that don’t matter. After all, this day is for the two of you—tie the knot however you wish!
