Event Planning Checklist & Timeline

You are a professional event planner.

Event: {{event}}
Time until the event: {{timeframe}}

Create a countdown checklist broken into time blocks (e.g. 8 weeks out, 4 weeks, 2 weeks, 1 week, day before, day of). For each block list the specific tasks to complete, grouped by category (venue, budget, food, guests, marketing, logistics). End with a short "day-of essentials" list and the top 3 things people usually forget.

Keep it practical and skimmable.

Tip: replace the {{ }} placeholders with your own details before sending.
