How to Create a Wedding Itinerary Card That Guests Will Love

Your guests just landed, they’re checking into the hotel, and... no one knows what time brunch is. Or where. Or whether it includes mimosas (which, let’s be honest, is a fair concern).

This is exactly why wedding itinerary cards are worth their weight in champagne flutes.

Whether you're planning a one-day celebration or an entire wedding weekend, giving your guests a simple, beautiful rundown of what's happening—and when—is one of the most thoughtful things you can do.

It’s not just about logistics. It’s about helping your guests feel seen, cared for, and totally in the loop (without having to text you during cocktail hour asking if they missed the shuttle).

And the best part? Creating your itinerary cards can be quick, stress-free, and even kind of fun—especially when you use a done-for-you template.

What to Include on a Wedding Itinerary Card

Think of your itinerary card as your guests’ cheat sheet for the weekend—a compact, elegant little guide that saves the day more than once.

Front of the Card → A Warm Welcome Letter

Start with a short, heartfelt message that makes your guests feel appreciated and excited for the days ahead. It doesn’t have to be long—just genuine and welcoming.

Need help writing it? We’ve got a full guide to crafting the perfect wedding welcome letter (linked below).

Back of the Card → Your Wedding Weekend Timeline

Break things down by date and time so guests can easily follow along:

• Friday: Welcome drinks or rehearsal dinner
• Saturday: Ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, dancing
• Sunday: Farewell brunch

Want to take it up a notch? Add a timeline with icons for each part of the day—it’s stylish, visual, and easy for everyone to follow (even after a glass of bubbly).

Optional—but Guests Will Love These Extras:

• Transportation or shuttle details
• A short list of your favorite local spots to eat, drink, or explore
• A QR code linking to your wedding website
• Contact info for someone on the inside (your planner or maid of honor—aka the calm in the storm)

Creating your itinerary cards doesn’t have to be a marathon. In fact, with the right template and a bit of know-how, it can be one of the smoothest DIY projects you tackle during wedding planning.

Step 1: Pick a Template

Start by choosing a design that fits your overall vibe—whether it’s romantic and floral, minimalist and modern, beachy and breezy, or something totally custom to your destination.

You’ll find all of these styles (and more) in our Wedding Itinerary Card Template Collection—just pick your favorite and you’re halfway there.

• Choose A4 or US Letter paper size
• Make sure your print scale is set to 100% (“actual size”)

Use thick cardstock (around 80–110 lb) for a professional, sturdy feel.

If You’re Going Digital:

• Download your file as a JPEG
• Send it out via email, WhatsApp, or group text
• You can even upload it to your wedding website for easy guest access

Either way, you’ll have a beautifully designed itinerary ready to go—in minutes.

How to Share Your Itinerary Cards

There are a few simple ways to make sure your itinerary gets into your guests’ hands—without adding one more thing to your plate.

• Slip them into your wedding welcome bags
• Hand them out at the hotel check-in desk
• Email or text the digital version a few days before the wedding
• Place one on the welcome table at your first event
• Upload the JPEG to your wedding website so guests can check it on the go

Photographers also love these for flat lays, so be sure to keep one or two aside!

How to Match Your Itinerary Card to Your Wedding Aesthetic

Your itinerary card isn’t just practical—it’s part of your wedding brand. That little card should feel like a natural extension of your day, your design, and your story.

A few ideas:

• Destination Wedding in the Mountains
• Go for rustic or watercolor landscapes with warm earthy tones
• Modern City Wedding
• Keep it sleek with minimal fonts, bold lines, and a clean monochrome palette
• Boho Beach Celebration
• Think sun-washed tones, textured backgrounds, and flowy, elegant script
• Classic Garden Affair
• Choose soft florals, botanical touches, and timeless typography

The good news? All our templates are designed with flexibility in mind—so whether your vibe is laid-back luxury or modern romance, there’s a design that fits.

Customizing Itinerary Cards for Different Types of Weddings

Every wedding is unique—and your itinerary can reflect that. Here’s how to tailor yours to your celebration:

Destination Weddings

• Include flight times or timezone reminders
• Add nearby restaurant recommendations
• List shuttle pickup times or group meet-ups
• Suggest a few fun things to do while they’re in town

Backyard or Local Weddings

• Keep the itinerary short and sweet—maybe just the ceremony and reception
• Use the welcome message to add a heartfelt thank-you

Cultural or Multi-Day Weddings

• Break down the schedule by event (e.g. Mehndi, Sangeet, Baraat, etc.)
• Include brief notes explaining the cultural significance of each event
• Add a contact guest can reach out to for guidance or questions

These small, thoughtful tweaks help your guests feel more comfortable, more included, and way more prepared—so they can relax and enjoy the celebration with you.

Your Guests Will Thank You

A wedding itinerary card might feel like a small detail—but it makes a huge difference in the overall guest experience.

It says:

• We’ve got you covered
• You don’t need to guess
• You can relax and enjoy
• Also... how pretty is this card?

It’s one of the simplest, most thoughtful touches you can add to your wedding weekend—and it doubles as a keepsake your guests (and photographer) will love.
