How to Share Your Wedding Day Timeline With Guests

A good timeline is invisible — guests just know where to be and when, without anyone having to ask. Here's how to build one that actually gets used.

What to include

  • ✓Welcome and processional
  • ✓Dinner and courses
  • ✓First dance
  • ✓Toasts and speeches
  • ✓Cake cutting
  • ✓Open dancing and last call

Why an online timeline beats a printed program

A printed program is fixed the moment it's printed. Move the first dance by twenty minutes and every card at every seat is now wrong. A timeline shared through the same QR code guests already use for photos updates instantly — change it in your dashboard, and every guest sees the current version on their phone.

Using it to protect a surprise

If part of your day is a surprise — a special performance, a reveal — you can share just the times and hide the descriptions until guests are actually there. They know when to be seated without you giving away the moment.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still change the timeline after I've printed the QR code?

Yes. The QR code itself never changes — only the page behind it. Edit the schedule anytime in your dashboard and guests immediately see the update.

Do guests need an app to view the schedule?

No. It opens in their phone's browser the moment they scan the code, alongside the photo gallery and everything else on the same page.
