Wedding countdown
Count down to the ceremony to the second, see how many weekends are left for planning, and share it with everyone who keeps asking.
A wedding timeline that matches your countdown
Most planning guides assume a 12-month engagement. Use the markers below against your own day count: anything above your number is overdue, so bring it forward or decide it doesn’t matter.
| Days left | Usually done by then |
|---|---|
| 365 | Budget, guest-count estimate, venue and date booked |
| 300 | Photographer, caterer and band or DJ, since popular vendors book a year out |
| 240 | Save-the-dates out (earlier for destination weddings) |
| 180 | Attire ordered; many gowns take four to six months plus alterations |
| 120 | Officiant, rings, rentals, hotel room block |
| 60 | Invitations mailed (six to eight weeks ahead is the usual etiquette) |
| 30 | RSVP deadline, marriage-licence rules checked for your location |
| 14 | Seating chart, final headcount to caterer, day-of timeline |
| 7 | Final payments, vendor contact sheet, pack for the honeymoon |
| 1 | Rehearsal, rest, hand the rings to someone reliable |
Rows highlighted are already inside your countdown window.
Counting weekends, not just days
Dress fittings, tastings and venue visits happen on weekends, so the weekend count under the ticket is the number to watch. Twenty weekends sounds like plenty until three are taken by other people’s weddings.
Questions people ask
Can I add the ceremony time?
Yes. Add a time and the ticket shows a live days-hours-minutes-seconds clock that reaches zero when the ceremony starts.
Can my partner see the same countdown?
Tap “Share link” and send it. The link holds the names and date, so it opens the same live countdown on their phone, no account needed.
Can I put the countdown on our wedding website or social media?
“Save card image” downloads a square ticket-style picture with the day count, ready for Instagram stories, a group chat or a save-the-date post.
