ChatGPT is like having a tireless writing assistant who drafts your emails, captions, proposals, and blog content, in seconds. You describe what you need. It writes a polished first draft. You edit, personalise, and send. These 20 prompts are written specifically for wedding planners and cover the four types of writing that take up the most time in your week.
The most effective way to use ChatGPT as a wedding planner: block 30 minutes every Sunday morning. Use prompts 11–15 (social media) to schedule your whole week of Instagram posts using Buffer. You never post in a rush, your content stays consistent, and you stop the "what do I even post about?" spiral.
