The 12-month Cyprus wedding planning checklist

12–10 months: establish the framework

• Set budget, guest range and preferred region.
• Compare venues using one scorecard.
• Confirm ceremony type and the authority or celebrant process.
• Reserve venue and essential accommodation.
• Book planner or coordinator if needed.
• Send save-the-dates with the actual region.

9–7 months: build the experience

• Book photography, catering, music and core production.
• Create the wedding website and travel guidance.
• Plan hotel zones and provisional transport.
• Choose floral and stationery direction.
• Decide whether welcome gifts and favours have different jobs.

6–4 months: turn ideas into quantities

• Issue invitations and collect dietary, mobility and child information.
• Finalise ceremony content and legal-document timetable.
• Sample menus and guest gifts.
• Confirm weather fallback and heat plan.
• Draft the wedding-day timeline.

3–2 months: lock logistics

• Close RSVPs and reconcile names across every list.
• Confirm coaches, pickup points and return waves.
• Order gifts with contingency.
• Allocate hotel deliveries and welcome events.
• Confirm supplier access, power, sound and finish rules.

Final month

• Share the master schedule and contacts.
• Freeze seating, meals and personalisation.
• Pay balances according to contracts.
• Pack a non-medical emergency kit.
• Brief wedding party without making them unpaid coordinators.

Wedding week

Check the current forecast, confirm transport and delivery counts, inspect fallback space and let the named coordinator own changes. Protect time to welcome guests rather than personally solving every room and box.

Afterwards

Reconcile hire items, thank suppliers, send personal notes, share photographs with consent and review which remaining gifts need home delivery.

Advice is editorial and intended for planning. Confirm venue, hotel, transport, supplier and legal arrangements directly.
