You are planning a wedding across half a dozen separate events and thirty-odd vendors, and the thing you are actually afraid of is the item nobody wrote down.
A complete fill-in planning system for a wedding of any size, built out of three parts that read each other. Each gathering is an event block with its own date, its own vendor roles and its own guest list, from the proposal itself through the engagement party, the welcome party, the rehearsal, the rehearsal dinner, the ceremony, the reception and the farewell brunch, and including named events from more than one tradition. Every vendor is one line in a ledger that carries the contract total, what you have paid, what is left and the date it falls due. The third part is the gap check: a set of stated rules that read the blocks and the ledger together and name what is not there, such as a ceremony with no officiant line or no marriage licence line, or a wedding guests travel to with nobody moving them between sites. It is a planning document, not legal advice. The one legally required step in a wedding is the licence, and the office that issues it in the place you marry is the only place its fee, its waiting period and its expiry are set. See the exclusions below.

What's inside
What lands in your inbox
You fill in the document itself and hand it on. The checklist is there so you do not leave a blank in it. Everything else is reference. Every file is a PDF you can type into on screen, or print and write on, so you need nothing else to use it.
The rest of the set
Businesses like yours usually start with these. It is where a trade starts, not a complete legal inventory of everything it could ever be asked for — no list on any website is that. Every line below says where it came from.
Showing what a wedding — the couple planning it is asked to carry. It is the only trade on our list that needs this document.

Your state can add to this. We have written down two places where this trade’s set differs from one state to the next. What we sell is written to the federal baseline, and a state that runs its own programme can ask for more than the federal rule does.
Print this checklistInside the file
01The system itself, 30 sections and 6 appendices with 747 fill-in fields, as a fill-in PDF you can type into
02Fifteen event blocks, starting at the proposal itself, each with its own date, its own vendor roles and its own list of the unpaid jobs at it, spanning both a Western wedding weekend and a South Asian wedding day from the Haldi through the Baraat to the Vidaai
03A 37-line vendor ledger with the arithmetic stated: what is owed on a line, what is owed in total, and what is already past its due date
04The gap check, with all nine of its rules written out and a worked example run against a real filled-in ledger, so you can see what it catches and what it deliberately does not
05A fill-in checklist listing every one of the 747 blanks by section, generated from the document itself so it cannot fall out of step with it
06Ready-to-use pages: the block index, the payment calendar, the invitation suite with the household count, the wedding-day run sheet, the emergency kit list, the contact sheet, and a blank event block for a gathering this system has never heard of
07A trend section covering the sixteen roles that carry a style decision, naming what each is currently being asked for, the survey behind the figure where one exists, and the decision it changes. Dated on the page, and the one part of the file that is read rather than filled in.

These are the real rules this plan is built on. Every citation was read against the published text on the date shown above, and each link goes to the official source, not to a summary.
Reference sources, not government
These are published sources, not government ones. Nobody checked this document against a rule, because there is no rule to check it against. Each link goes to the page itself so you can read who says it.
Exclusions
Before you buy
When we improve this set — a section buyers keep asking for, a page that could be clearer — the new version lands in your account. You do not pay again. That applies to everyone who buys, member or not, for as long as we sell this document.
The files are yours the moment payment clears, so we do not give money back just because you no longer want them. You agree to that in the box above the button before you pay, not afterwards in small print.
If a file is the wrong one, will not open, is missing pages, or does not match what this page says, that is on us and we correct it at no cost, member or not. A version fitted to your business is either included with membership or $49 on its own. That promise is the reason the no-refund rule is fair.
Want this set edited to match how you actually want to run it? A non-member buys one tailored edit for $49, no membership needed, and it comes back within 2 business days. A Simply Current membership is $30/month and every fitted edit is included — it wins on the second edit.
