Our service has assisted tens of thousands of couples worldwide in planning their dream weddings!

We know that Excel is your go-to program, but we’ve created something much better that’ll transform your wedding checklist

For many of us, when we’re tasked with putting together something organizational, we immediately think of Excel. It’s a program synonymous with storing, presenting and listing normally, mundane stuff. And it works. There’s no denying that. But when it comes to creating a wedding checklist, we believe we’ve created something much better than Excel offers.

Our wedding checklist is easy-to-use, which is not something everyone could say about Excel. It looks pretty, and can even be used in conjunction with your favorite spreadsheet program if you just can’t bear to part with it!

Whether you’re planning an extravagant soirée for 300 guests, or something rather more intimate. Our wedding checklist will keep your plans on track, and help not just you, but your whole wedding team keep up to date with any developments. It is the new essential tool in wedding planning, and the really good news is, it’s free!

PLANNING . WEDDING — is easy to remember and even easier to use.

Why Choose Our Free Wedding Checklist Over Excel

Ease of Use!

Not everyone finds Excel easy to use. If you use it for work, or learned how to use spreadsheets in school, and are young enough to remember how they function. You’ve probably mastered at least the basic features. But for those who’ve never used Google Sheets, or Excel, it can all seem a little confusing.

When first using a program like Excel, couples often end up spending more time Googling how to use it than they do researching their own wedding! Maybe not quite, but you get the point!

Our wedding checklist eliminates the learning curve, and offers a tool anyone can pick up and use straight away – not something you can say about Excel. With simple functions like grab and drop, instant additions of tasks and checkboxes that encourage progression.

Our Wedding Checklist is Free

Spreadsheets are powerful, but a blank one is a lot of setup for a wedding. Columns, dates, checkboxes and sharing all have to be built by hand before you can plan a single task, and keeping everyone on the latest copy becomes another job on its own. One wrong sort or a deleted row, and the plan you trusted no longer adds up.

Our checklist, on the other hand, needs no setup: it comes ready-made with tasks for every month, and you won’t have to subscribe to anything to use it. The checklist (with PDF and Excel downloads), budget calculator and guest list are free, and you can start the seating chart and wedding website for free too, with a one-time Premium payment per project for extras such as print-ready files. You can even find vendors for your big day in our worldwide directory!

Weddings are expensive, and we understand the last thing you want is to spend more. Which is why we offer our wedding checklist, as a free, and, in our opinion, better alternative, to Excel, or Google Sheets.

Download Your Wedding Checklist to PDF, or Excel!

We don’t mind if you create your wedding checklist using our free online tool, and then just download it to Excel. It’s not a problem because we understand that every couple is different. And if finishing off your checklist on a spreadsheet program, or simply storing it there, helps you plan better – we’re all for it!

Which is why there’s an instant download to Excel (XLS) button at the bottom of our wedding checklist. Alongside that, there is also a download to PDF function button. A simple feature that allows you to take your online wedding checklist, and make it printable. Perfect for those with special wedding planning corners of their house, who like to check off tasks with a thick marker once they’re completed!

Collaborate with Your Wedding Team

The best weddings are the ones planned as a team. Be that as a couple, friends and family, or together with a professional wedding planner. Sharing ideas, and sharing the workload will always be the best way to work. But for a wedding team to collaborate effectively, there needs to be communication and cohesion.

Our wedding checklist, like every tool in your project, has been designed with collaboration in mind. We make it easy to invite friends, or family members onto your wedding project and start getting involved. Within just a few clicks, Mom could be letting you know she’s posted the invitations by checking the box on your checklist. Or maybe your wedding planner will start adding events she knows you’ll need to work on in a few months from now.

Even if you don’t have a team of people gathered yet, our shared planning tools will make you want to bring loved ones on board. And start creating the best wedding, together!

Our Checklist Was Designed For One Purpose

As with every tool on Planning.Wedding, our checklist was designed specifically for its purpose. Unlike Excel, or Google Sheets, which have to offer almost limitless functions and capabilities. Of course, both spreadsheet programs can be formatted and customized to create a checklist. But why waste time editing from scratch, when we’ve done the hard work for you!


Unlike Excel, our wedding checklist functions only as a wedding checklist. Meaning, it’s the perfect tool for the job.
