Timeline help

Melissa, on February 15, 2020 at 11:14 AM Posted in Planning 0 3
I need help with my timeline.


Is 2 arrive time with 2:30 start time - meaning this is the time bridal party starts to walk and then cocktail is 3-4.
Please help! Your ideas with your planning or past wedding. We want our reception to end at 10pm and we have our DJ for 6 hours

    Hey Melissa Smiley smile

    When building out your day-of timeline, it’s best to start with your reception end time (or any other concrete times you have) and work backwards. While working backward, you can slot in all the different times you want/need things to happen. This WeddingWire article is very informative and also has a sample timeline you can use - 9 Wedding Day Timeline Rules Every Couple Should Follow.

    These two previous community discussions may be helpful to you also: Timeline, Timeline Smiley smile
