Micro Wedding Planner | Small Intimate Wedding Blueprint | Vow Guide + Budget + Guest List | Wedding Must Haves | Elopement | Digital

Details

✨ A micro wedding isn't a smaller version of a big wedding. It's something better.
It's intentional. Intimate. Every single guest matters. Every detail is felt. And it deserves a planner built specifically for the way it actually works — not a stripped-down version of a 200-guest spreadsheet.
The Micro Wedding Blueprint from Palm & Blossom is the only planning system designed from the ground up for intimate ceremonies, elopements, restaurant buyouts, backyard weddings, courthouse ceremonies, and any wedding under 30 guests. Eight tabs. Every tool you actually need. Nothing you don't.

💍 WHAT'S INSIDE — 8 TABS
Tab 01 · Our Micro Wedding Hub
Your command center — couple details, wedding vision, key vendor contacts, and a complete legal checklist including marriage license requirements, waiting periods, certified copy ordering, and name change steps. Because for micro weddings, the legal side isn't just a task — it's the centerpiece.
Tab 02 · 6-Month Planning Timeline
50 focused, prioritized tasks organized by urgency and lead time. No filler. No tasks about hiring a catering manager or booking a hotel block — just what a micro wedding actually needs, in the right order. Includes dropdown status for every task.
Tab 03 · Micro Budget Tracker
21 budget categories tuned specifically for intimate weddings — including a restaurant buyout line item, elopement permit category, and a day-of coordinator row (because for a 20-person wedding, that's the highest ROI vendor you can hire). Auto-calculating totals, balance due, and paid status dropdowns for every line.
Tab 04 · Intimate Venue Finder
10 questions for each of 5 micro wedding venue types — restaurant private room, Airbnb/vacation rental, backyard/private property, courthouse/civil ceremony, and park/outdoor space. Space to record answers right in the spreadsheet. This tab alone will save you from signing the wrong contract.
Tab 05 · Guest List (30 guests max)
Streamlined and focused — name, RSVP status, meal choice, table/seat assignment, plus-one status, contact info, and notes. Live auto-counting totals show attending, declined, and awaiting at a glance. Dropdown menus for RSVP and meal choice.
Tab 06 · Vow Writing Guide (Our most-loved feature)
Eight thoughtful writing prompts, a structure guide, length recommendations (60–90 seconds / 150–250 words), formatting tips for printing, and practice advice. Then: space to write your complete final vows. No other planner has this. For a micro wedding where vows are the whole ceremony, this tab is everything.
Tab 07 · Day-Of Timeline
Your complete wedding day from getting-ready through grand exit — with columns for start time, end time, event, and who's responsible. Pre-filled with a sample micro wedding timeline. Blank rows to customize. Print and hand to every vendor.
Tab 08 · Vendor Directory
The vendors micro weddings actually need (no DJ vs. band debate for a 15-person dinner). Booking status tracker for all vendors, plus dedicated question banks for your four most critical micro wedding vendors: photographer, officiant, caterer/restaurant, and florist.

⭐ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is this for elopements too, or just micro weddings?
Both! The timeline, venue finder, legal checklist, and vow writing guide are all perfect for elopements — whether that's a courthouse ceremony or a private mountaintop moment with a photographer.
Can I use this for a wedding with slightly more than 30 guests?
Absolutely — the guest list tab holds more rows, and the tasks scale up. We just designed it with intimate weddings in mind. If you have 50+ guests, our Full Wedding Blueprint may serve you better.
Can I edit the tab names and content?
Yes — once you make a copy in Google Sheets, everything is fully editable. Rename tabs, add rows, delete things you don't need. It's yours.
I'm getting married in 2 months — is a 6-month planner still useful?
Yes. The timeline is organized by urgency, so you can identify what's most critical immediately and skip what's no longer relevant. Many couples have used this for last-minute planning with great results.
Does this include a vow template I can just fill in?
It's better than that. Rather than giving you a generic template that sounds like everyone else's vows, we give you 8 thoughtful prompts that help you write vows in your own voice. The results are far more meaningful.
