Turn this free preview into a living plan your whole family can follow.
Imported US checklists skip Pamamanhikan, church paperwork, entourage coordination, and the way families share costs. A Filipino wedding checklist should mix culture and logistics so nothing critical hides in a group chat.
Use this free preview to see the shape of planning, then unlock unlimited items, due dates, and progress tracking in WedPlanner so your partner can help without hunting spreadsheets.
Work from earliest deadlines first — date, budget, and Pamamanhikan — before décor details. Assign owners when families split tasks. Attach due dates to venue bookings and fittings so countdown pressure stays visible.
Connect your checklist to guest list, PHP budget, and timeline tools so finished bookings update the rest of the plan.
Keep planning in one place — these tools share the same guest list, budget, and timeline.
