Since I’m pretty Type A, I love to be prepared for everything, with a timeline and all the details mapped out. I can’t help it – I just really hate to be unprepared.
And, with bridal parties, most of your bridesmaids will care about the details as much as you, so they appreciate your schedule and timeline. Your groomsmen, however, will not. You’ll hand them a lovely little schedule of the activities and where they need to be and when, and they think, ‘Great.’ And, the second you turn around, in the trash goes that lovely little schedule you worked so diligently on.
Heartbreaking right? Well, I found this great idea: a pocket schedule. You can give it to the guys to keep in their pockets. Heck, you can even give it to your bridesmaids and close family members who need to know what is going on during your wedding day. The guys can put them in their pants pockets or suit coats, and the ladies can drop them in their clutches.
Genius, right? Yes, yes, I think so. And, if you are wondering what these lovely little pocket schedules look like, Miss Apple Cider posted about the pocket schedules she created for her wedding. They are adorable and match her invitation suite and wedding theme perfectly.
The best part? She created these little beauties on her computer and printed them out home. It’s such an easy DIY project!!

With my DOC package came a timeline development. So, while I won’t be creating the timeline, I fully plan on creating similar pocket schedules for the guests like she’s done. It is so practical and convenient.
Did you have a wedding day schedule or did you just wing it?
Those look great!! Very cute - I love the fold. Ohh Don’t worry… My wedding isn’t until July and I have prettied-up timelines done for the girls, the guys AND family members.
Being a veteran bridesmaid, I appreciate knowing where I need to be when, who my appointments are with and what is coming up next. I think I had these done 6 mo. out! I was excited about them… 
I haven’t posted them on the planning blog as not to look like such a type-A to everyone before they receive them.
i completely forgot about these–what a great idea. i’m definitely going to make a few of these.
totally with you and Mrs. Apple Cidar. I’m definitely doing this.
I want this document! How adorable
Miss apple cider - could you give me the link to how you made your invitations? your stuff is so awesome! I went toyour blog site but couldnt find the how-to. mitymouse65@yahoo.com
I feel like we’re okay doing without, since we only have people in the WP and the entire shindig is taking place at one venue, so it’d be a pretty thin schedule. (”Show up, stay there for many hours, go home.”) Apple Cider’s are beautiful though!
That was meant to say “only have five people in the WP” …
those are great and probably helpful with a large bridal party. i don’t anticipate ours being too big so i’m not too worried about coordinating too many people
I am doing this because it’s so incredibly cute. Can’t wait to see how yours turn out! Are you going to do this accordian style also?
I love this idea - I would love to do it but I’m pretty sure no one would appreciate it, haha.
I just started working on my timeline and am OVERWHELMED! This is a cute idea to give to those who don’t need all those crazy tiny details (i.e. where the favors go and what time the DJ arrives) strictly when where and why. LOVE it.
We will definitely have some sort of schedule in place. I want the day to go as smoothly as possible!
@gibsonkk: Haha. Gotta love us “Type A” brides!
@mm35: Try sending Mrs. AC a PM about the template.
@LittlestBirds: Very good point. I have a few people that are perpetually late - so these little guys are a must!
@Miss Lace: I haven’t decided - quite possibly. Seems to be the best way for storage, too!
@jgoulart: It’s definitely for those who just need an overview of when and wear!
I am making little schedule cards for my peeps. Just a little card with icons showing where to be, and what is going on when! I figured the maids will be with me, and will be ontime, but the boys are with my groom… hopefully someone is watching the clock!
I remember these! I was thinking of putting together something like this as well!
