Planning your wedding should feel exciting — not stressful. But let’s be honest, between choosing vendors, confirming dates, and managing family expectations, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s why every couple needs a solid wedding planning to-do list to stay on track and actually enjoy the journey.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to do — from "Yes!" to "I do" — and introduce a simple, free tool that helps Singapore couples manage their wedding checklist effortlessly.
Why You Need a Wedding Planning Checklist
Singapore weddings often involve more than one event — solemnisation, banquet, gatecrash, and even pre-wedding shoots. Without a clear timeline and to-do list, it’s easy to miss important steps or rush through decisions.
A good to-do list helps you:
- See what needs to be done and when
- Delegate tasks to your partner or bridal party
- Avoid last-minute panic
- Track progress (and feel accomplished!)
