If you've hired a wedding planner, he or she will sit down with you to craft a timeline for your special day. If the venue you’re using comes with a coordinator, he or she will likely help you map out your reception. If you’re going it alone or want to plan the portion of your day that your coordinator doesn’t cover, Weddings & Brides is a great resource for advice and timeline samples. You can also organize your day by using an Excel sheet or another similar document. Not only will it keep you organized, it’s easy to edit.
