The wedding-week checklist is about compression, not inspiration

The final week should not be filled with fresh decisions. It should be used to confirm, pack, label, pay, communicate and reduce surprises. If new strategic choices are still happening, planning is late.

What to stop doing this week

  • Do not reopen settled aesthetic choices unless something is actually broken.
  • Do not keep logistics in multiple chats and screenshots.
  • Do not assume vendors all share the same final timing information.

The final week needs one clean command centre

Use the checklist pack and timeline pages together so final tasks, due dates and handoffs stay visible.
