A Stress-Free 6-Month Wedding Checklist for Your Timber Valley Farm Barn Rental Wedding
Six months is a major milestone in wedding planning! It’s the perfect time to get organized and knock out some key tasks. Use this checklist as your guide to ensure a smooth and enjoyable process leading up to your big day at the beautiful Timber Valley Farm Barn Rental.
Guest Communication & Logistics
This is the time to get a firm handle on your guest list and make sure everyone has the information they need.
- Send save-the-dates: If you haven’t already, now’s the time! This gives your guests plenty of notice, especially for those who need to travel.
- Finalize your guest list: Nail down a final headcount. This number is critical for your catering, invitations, and seating charts later on.
- Design and order invitations: Choose a design that fits the rustic charm of the barn and make sure to proofread every detail before you send them to print.
- Book the cabins on site at Timber Valley Retreat: Secure a stay at the onsite cabins for your out-of-town guests or wedding party. This is a unique and convenient way to keep your loved ones close throughout the weekend..
- Arrange transportation: Whether it’s a shuttle for guests or a limo for the wedding party, finalize all transportation plans to ensure everyone gets where they need to be on time.
Wedding Details & Décor
These are the fun details that bring your vision to life and make your wedding unique.
- Finalize your cake: Schedule a tasting and lock in your cake’s flavor, design, and delivery with your baker.
- Choose wedding favors: Select a special gift for your guests that is both meaningful and fits your budget.
- Plan your ceremony: Work with your officiant to select vows, readings, and any special rituals or traditions you want to include.
- Buy wedding party gifts: Show your appreciation to your bridesmaids, groomsmen, and anyone else who has been a big help throughout the process.
- Finalize floral arrangements: Sit down with your florist to confirm the specific flowers, colors, and arrangements for everything from bouquets to centerpieces.
- Rent or buy décor: Secure all your décor items, including linens, table settings, and any special decorative elements that will enhance the barn’s natural beauty.
Beauty & Attire
Your look is a big part of the day, so get a head start on these key appointments.
- Schedule dress fittings: Book your first fitting to make sure your wedding dress fits perfectly. You will likely need a few more as the wedding gets closer.
- Book hair and makeup trials: Have trials with your stylists to experiment with different looks and find the perfect style for your wedding day.
- Buy accessories: Select your veil, shoes, jewelry, and any other finishing touches to complete your wedding day look.
Other Important Tasks

- Delegate tasks. Don’t be afraid to ask your partner, family, or friends for help.
