WEDLEY · THE WEDDING JOURNAL
A little clarity,
for the next chapter.
Eight practical worksheets for a wedding that is taking shape. Pencil first. Ink when it’s true.
Open your browser’s Print menu and choose Save as PDF or print the pages you need. Landscape A4 works best. Nothing you write on a printed copy is stored in Wedley.
These are blank planning worksheets, not a free trial or a file-import format. No email is required. Examples in our guides are fictional; use your actual agreements and confirmed guest details.

01 · THE MONEY
Cost agreed. Money paid. Balance remaining.
Record each actual payment separately. A scheduled payment is not money paid. Check the balance against confirmed changes and refunds.
| Supplier / booking | Agreed total | Payment amount | Due date | Status / paid date | Receipt reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
☐ Payment checked against confirmation ☐ Agreed total checked ☐ Next due date recorded
Read: wedding deposits and balances →02 · THE SUPPLIERS
Compare the same celebration.
Use one brief for every supplier. Write “not confirmed” instead of assuming an inclusion.
| Compare | Supplier A | Supplier B | Supplier C |

03 · YOUR PEOPLE
Invite together. Plan for each person.
One row per guest. Use a shared household label for people invited together. Only record personal information you actually need.
| Guest name | Household | Invited events | Attendance | Meal / follow-up needed | Table |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
☐ Plus-ones named where known ☐ Individual replies checked ☐ Duplicates reviewed, not guessed

One place for everyone.
Confirm physical layout and safe capacities with the venue. This sheet is a guest-assignment aid, not a scale floor plan.
| Table name | Agreed capacity | Assigned guests | Places used | Checks / changes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
☐ Every attending meal guest assigned once ☐ Table capacities checked ☐ Venue and caterer have the same version

Count people, then confirm the details.

Moments, with room between them.

Choose what you will keep using.
A shared sheet may be enough. A dedicated app may suit you when the budget, guests and supplier records need to stay connected. Try a fictional task before choosing.
- ☐ We can tell an estimate from a confirmed cost and a payment.
- ☐ Each guest can have their own reply and meal details.
- ☐ Both partners understand which version is current.
- ☐ We know the actual price, renewal terms and export options.
- ☐ We have checked the specific features we need, not just the headline promise.
