Every invitation task, in order.

How the invitation checklist works

The tasks fall into four phases. Twelve months out you build the master guest list, set the RSVP deadline, and choose a design direction. Six months out you collect addresses, draft wording, design or order cards, set up digital invites, and send save-the-dates. Three months out you send formal invitations and begin tracking RSVPs with reminders. In the final month you close RSVPs, confirm the final headcount with the caterer and venue, and send any last-minute updates.

The category view groups the same tasks by the work itself — planning the list, designing the invites, sending them out, tracking responses, and finalising the headcount — so you can focus on one area at a time.
