When my partner and I started to plan our wedding day, we had countless wedding planning spreadsheets, docs, Pinterest boards, random apps, and lots of emails all over the place. It was a mess and probably caused more stress than necessary. Once we pulled everything into Coda, it was smooth sailing. We could even pull in our parents, wedding planner, and bridal party as necessary. As our wedding plans evolved, this doc evolved with us. It was the perfect way to plan our wedding and keep us sane throughout the process!

To customize and use this template, please create a copy of the doc to save your changes!
