Let's Create a Wedding Timeline ♡

One of the paper items to include in your invitation is the [timeline] ♡

A timeline is like a schedule or program that informs guests about the flow of the wedding day.

It’s an important item that allows guests to understand the day’s schedule accurately, and recently, many brides have been designing and DIYing cute versions ♡

So this time, we will introduce what to write in the timeline and some cute designs found on Instagram ♡

First, check the list of things to include in the timeline ♡

What to write in the timeline can vary from bride to bride, but generally, you should note about 4 to 6 key timeframes along with easy-to-understand illustrations ♡ For example, something like this ♡

◆ ① Shuttle bus departure time

◆ ② Reception time

◆ ③ Ceremony start time

◆ ④ Reception start time (～end time)

◆ ⑤ After-party start time (～end time)

Additionally, some brides may also include timeframe for group photos or toasting time ♡

Be sure to include the essentials, but try not to overload it with too much information＊
