Pick religion & adat to fill in Planner

Updated 17 Oct 2026

Pick a religion and adat and Planner can fill in your prep right away: task list, rundown, budget lines, vendor categories, and the documents you need to sort out. You pick them in the Religion & adat step of the Wizard, or later in Settings & team, on the Religion & customs tab.

Note·Access

Only the wedding owner or a team admin can change the choices and add their content.

Three choices

Choice	What it means
Ceremony religion	One for this wedding, matching the ceremony you hold. Planner doesn't ask for each partner's religion.
Groom's family adat and Bride's family adat	Adat is picked per family. They can be the same, different, or National/modern if you don't follow an adat.
Processions	The list of events from the religion and adat you picked, by stage.

If both families share the same adat, the pack is added once and the side reads both families. Some adat have extra options, for example Javanese style (Solo or Yogyakarta). These appear as soon as you pick the adat.

Choose Rather not say yet or Not sure if you haven't decided. Planner still works empty and you fill it in yourself.

Supported religions

Islam, Protestant Christianity, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. Each religion brings its own paperwork, for example registration at the KUA for Islam, or recording at Dukcapil for other religions.

Supported adat

There are 13 options, including National/modern as the base pack that is always added.

Adat	Region	Extra option
National/modern	All of Indonesia	—
Jawa (Solo/Yogya)	Central Java & DI Yogyakarta	Javanese style: Solo or Yogyakarta
Sunda	West Java (Priangan)	—
Betawi	DKI Jakarta & surroundings	—
Minangkabau	West Sumatra & diaspora	Luhak/nagari variant
Batak Toba	North Sumatra (Toba, Tapanuli, Medan) & diaspora	Party host: dialap jual or ditaruhon jual
Bugis-Makassar	South Sulawesi & diaspora	Bugis or Makassar variant
Tionghoa-Indonesia	All of Indonesia	Family group (Hokkien, Teochew, Hakka, Cantonese, Hainan, or general)
Bali	Bali	Marriage system: standard, nyentana, or pada gelahang
Palembang	South Sumatra & diaspora	Adat level: short or full
Banjar	South Kalimantan & diaspora	—
Melayu	Riau, Riau Islands, North Sumatra (Deli) & West Kalimantan	Varian: mainland Riau, Riau Islands, Deli, Pontianak, or Sambas
Melayu Malaysia	Malaysia	—

Note·Melayu Malaysia

The religion pack still adds the marriage paperwork in Indonesia (KUA or Dukcapil). The steps for a marriage in Malaysia are in their own group in To-do, and the Malaysian documents are in Paperwork and aren't required. If you're marrying in Malaysia, you can delete the KUA/Dukcapil items.

Note.

Adat packs are put together from general references and haven't been reviewed by a cultural expert. Every region and family has its own customs, so treat the content as a starting point and adjust it to your family.

Procession library

Once you've picked a religion and adat, a Processions list appears, grouped by stage: Before the wedding, Final week, Wedding day, and After the wedding. Each procession has a tag:

• required and common: ticked from the start.
• optional: not ticked until you choose it.

Untick the ones you won't hold, and tick the optional ones if you like. To-do, Rundown, and Budget items follow the ticked processions. Required or common processions that clash with the religion you picked start unticked and show an amber note (has a note). On your phone, each stage's list opens in a sheet and is only saved when you click Save.

What happens after you pick

• Picking a religion and adat does not fill in Planner yet. The content is added after payment is complete through Set up your Planner, or from Settings & team for a wedding that's already active.
• Adding only adds items. Data you've already filled in is never changed or deleted.
• Adat costs (for example uang adat) are added at Rp0 with a range note. You fill in the amount based on your family's agreement; Planner gives no benchmark figure.

Changing religion or adat

1. Open Settings & team, the Religion & customs tab (admin only).
2. Change your picks. The What will change card shows the new items ready to add.
3. There is one save button, and its label changes: Save religion & customs when there's nothing to add, Save & add n items when your picks changed, and Add n items when your picks are unchanged. To only save, untick the modules to add first.

Old items are not deleted automatically. If items from a pack you no longer use are still there, a summary appears: n items from X customs are still there. Click Delete X customs items… to delete only the untouched ones: not ticked, not edited, and still empty. Anything you've changed stays safe. This button stays greyed out until the new pick is saved ("Save your pick first, then this item can be deleted").

Items you deleted yourself don't come back. If you want them added again, switch on Add back what you deleted (n); this switch only appears if you've deleted items before.

FAQ

My older wedding doesn't have a religion and adat. Weddings created before this feature aren't filled in automatically. The owner or an admin can pick them any time in Settings & team.

Can I skip picking an adat altogether? Yes. Pick National/modern, or skip the step and fill things in yourself.

Next steps

• Set up your Planner: see what will be added, then add it.
