If you want to avoid going insane while planning your wedding, you need a wedding check list — no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Without such a wedding check list, you’ll not only waste time, you’ll waste money too. If you don’t have a wedding check list, consider using this one to make wedding planning a tad bit easier.
2 Months Before the Big Day
- Look over the guest list and determine, with the help of your partner, the seating arrangements. Brides family on one side, grooms on the other, immediate family upfront, etc. etc. etc.
- Finalize the beverage and menu choices for the wedding reception. Remember that variety is important for both the food and for the beverages. The more options for the guests, the better.
- Make any of those last minute changes to your wedding decor (for the reception OR for the ceremony) before the decorations are “stamped” and finalized.
- Begin mailing your wedding invitations. (You should have written/ordered them months ago, as outlined by the 6-12 month wedding check list)
- Make plans for a rehearsal dinner.
- Arrange the transportation for the wedding party.
- Choose gifts for the members of the wedding party.
- Congratulate yourself because you just completed the 2-months before wedding check list. Time to move onto the 1-month before checklist.
1 Month Before the Big Day
- Take care of lodging for guests coming from out of town.
- Last fitting for all wedding attire, both bride and groom.
- Select and order your wedding cake.
With this wedding check list in hand, the 2 months leading up to your wedding day should be 100%, or at least 95%, hassle free.
