12-Month Wedding Checklist
Ordered by dependency, not by urgency. Vendors who take one wedding a day come before vendors who can run several teams — getting this order wrong is what forces expensive compromises.

Guest List Manager
Track head count by household, which is how invitations actually work, and get a realistic attendance projection to give your caterer instead of the inflated invite list.

Plan for 57: confirmed guests plus 80% of those still to reply. Real attendance at Indian weddings averages 75–85% of invites — give your caterer this number, not the invited total, or you will pay for plates nobody eats.
