TTO includes default To-Do templates to help couples and planners get started quickly and stay on track. These templates are designed to reflect real wedding workflows, not generic task lists.

🧠 Why default To-Do templates exist

Planning a wedding involves many moving parts. Default templates provide structure without making the process feel overwhelming.

They help you:

  • 🧭 Start with a clear planning foundation

  • 📝 Remember commonly overlooked tasks

  • 🕒 Reduce early planning decision fatigue

  • ✅ Keep planning moving forward smoothly

These templates are there to guide you — not restrict you.They’re there to guide, not dictate.

📦 What’s included in a default template

Default To-Do templates are pre-populated with commonly needed tasks, such as:

  • 📅 Key planning milestones

  • 👥 Guest-related tasks

  • 📬 RSVP and communication reminders

  • 🪑 Seating and logistics preparation

  • 🗂️ Final checks leading up to the wedding

These tasks reflect how weddings are typically planned, based on real planner workflows.

This makes it easy to tailor the planning process for each client.
