(passport, birth certificate, visas, vaccinations, etc.).

Ask your readers to be a part of your ceremony. Begin a search for

readings, and discuss them with your officiant.

no later than three weeks before the wedding.

Provide guest lists to your maid of honor and best man for your shower,

bachelorette party, bachelor party, and other social events.
