Stag/hen checklist: the complete D-120 timeline

The exact timeline we use for every event, from D-120 to the big day. Follow it and nothing can go wrong.
D-120: lay the foundations
Create the WhatsApp group (without the bride/groom-to-be!), poll availability with a voting tool, lock the date and announce a budget range. Our golden rule: the date is locked when 80% of the group has confirmed, not before.
D-90: book the big items
Flights and accommodation first — that's where prices climb fastest. Then book Saturday's headline activity. At this point, collect the first instalment of the pot (50%).
D-30: finalise the programme
Book restaurants (tables of 10+ go fast), the second activity, and prepare the surprises: costumes, dares, collaborative playlist. Check the cancellation terms of every booking.
D-7 and the big day: execution
Send the final programme to the group (keeping surprises from the guest of honour), confirm every booking, appoint a treasurer and an official photographer. On the day: your only job is to follow the plan — everything else is already done.
