Timelines
So sometimes I think the public perception of wedding planners isn’t great (if I had a pound for every time someone jokes about planners stealing grooms – thanks J Lo) and sometimes I think people are generally confused about what planners do. So today I decided to post a screengrab of a timeline that we recently produced for a client. A timeline is a great way of mapping out all the tasks to be completed before the big day but also making deadlines so that the weeks before the wedding don’t give you the wedding crazies.
Our Timelines are done in a Gantt Chart style with tasks listed down the left and the months listed across the top. We use different colours to indicate who is to complete each task, a series of different symbols and that pale green line down the center indicates that a wedding date has been confirmed; a linchpin decision that lots of other tasks depend on.
So I hope that gives you a little insight into the work of a planner.
Happy Thursday!
