Hair and makeup runs twenty minutes long. On a printable timeline, that means re-writing the whole page — usually the week of the wedding, usually at midnight.
This one re-times itself. Every event starts when the one above it ends, so you change a single duration and everything downstream moves with it. And the question you actually care about has a live answer at the top of the sheet:
Does the ceremony still start on time?
The drift box tells you, in plain minutes. “On time.” “18 min LATE.” Change the photo block from 45 minutes to 30 and watch it fix itself.
WHAT YOU TYPE
- Two times: when the day starts, and when the ceremony should start.
- Your events, and how many minutes each one takes.
That is the entire setup. You never type a start time or an end time — those fill in by themselves, all the way down.
WHAT IS INSIDE
- Timeline — 80 event rows, pre-filled with a realistic wedding day you can edit or delete. Event, minutes, who owns it, notes.
- Vendors — arrivals, phone numbers, and a confirmed yes/no with a running count of who you still have to chase.
- Run of Show — a clean, print-ready page that mirrors your timeline. Hand it to your coordinator or tape it inside a cabinet door.
- Read Me First — the two input times, the drift box, and when your day ends.
WORKS IN BOTH Excel and Google Sheets. Drag it into Google Drive and every formula, dropdown and colour carries over — no conversion, no broken cells. A one-page PDF quickstart is included so you are running in about sixty seconds.
WHY THE GREY CELLS ARE LOCKED Every calculated cell is protected, because the fastest way to break a timeline is to overwrite a formula and not notice until the rehearsal dinner. Type in the yellow cells; the grey ones look after themselves. No password is set — you can unlock any sheet if you want to.

Questions
How do I get the file?
It is an instant download. Checkout happens on Etsy, and the download link is on the confirmation page and in your emailed receipt. Nothing ships; there is nothing to wait for.
What do I need to open it?
Open it in Excel, or upload to Google Drive and choose Open with Google Sheets. No Microsoft subscription needed.
Can I change it to suit my business?
Yes. Categories, names and labels are yours to rename, and the totals follow automatically. The calculated cells are the protected ones, so you can edit freely without knocking a formula out.
Can I use this for client or business work?
Yes — use it in your own business or personal projects as much as you like. The one thing you cannot do is resell or redistribute the file itself.
What if it isn't right for me?
Refunds are handled by Etsy under their own buyer policy for digital downloads — request one through your order there and it goes through their process, not ours.
