1 Month Before The Wedding

If you have guests attending from out of town that have children, help

them by locating babysitting options for them.

Write your vows if you choose to personalize them. Send a copy to your

officiant.

Pick up wedding rings and check the inscriptions before you leave the

store.

Call guests who have not yet RSVP’d for the wedding and rehearsal

dinner to get a final head count.

Create your seating chart. Make place cards or give typed names to your

calligrapher.

Give the seating chart to your caterer, reception venue manager, and

wedding coordinator.

Prepare your toasts and thanks to friends and family.

Send your transportation vendor the schedule, addresses, and contact

phone numbers for the wedding day.

Confirm all final payment amounts with your vendors. Mail your payment

checks or make arrangements for the wedding day.

1 Week Before The Wedding

Give final head count to the caterer. Confirm set-up instructions and

menu items.

Confirm number of bouquets, boutonnieres, and centerpieces with your

florist.

Confirm head count, delivery time, and location with your wedding cake

vendor.

Pick up your gown. Before leaving the shop, try it on to make sure there

are no additional alterations to be made.

Gather favors, place cards, guest book, pens, cake knife, toasting flutes,

and all other reception items to give to your coordinator at the rehearsal.

Pull together wedding gown, veil, shoes, stockings, and a last-minute

emergency kit (aspirin, makeup, hairspray, safety pins, mints, etc.).

After The Wedding

Arrange for gown and veil to be cleaned and preserved. Make sure the

provider is experienced in preserving wedding gowns.

Take the bridal bouquet to be preserved, or save a petal to be pressed for

your scrapbook.

Do paperwork for official documents if you are changing your name.

Write thank-you notes for all the gifts you received at the wedding and

before. Traditional etiquette gives you an 8-week grace period.
