Make the last Monday easy to spot
May starts on Saturday, so the first row contains only two dates. It also needs a sixth calendar row for Monday, May 31. Memorial Day falls on that final Monday and is the month's observed US federal holiday. Do not crop the bottom row when printing: it carries a real date and the holiday label. For a trip or gathering, place reservations and preparation on their own days instead of writing everything on the holiday square. Confirm local opening hours directly. This layout gives five Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays; recurring activities on those weekdays need an extra entry compared with a four-week month. Check the transition into June before finalizing a long weekend.
Choose your paper and print
Download Letter for 8.5 by 11 inch paper, or A4 for 210 by 297 millimetres. Both files contain the same dates in a layout sized for that paper. Open the PDF, select landscape, and preview one page before printing. Use actual size when the preview fits your printer margins; choose fit to printable area if an edge would be clipped. The calendar begins on Monday. Empty leading and trailing squares are intentional, with room for handwritten notes.
When plans change
The free PDF is a fixed calendar for writing by hand. For editable events, the 2027 Planner Pack includes an XLSX month view: enter a date and title in Events, select the month, and the entry appears on that day. It shows the first three entries per day and flags additional entries. Custom anniversaries use their 2027 date. Weekly planning and milestone review PDFs support the follow-up work.
