It’s Almost Here: Your Wedding Day!

Just one week to go! Here’s your wedding checklist cheat sheet.

Can you believe it? Your wedding day is right around the corner! The excitement must be bubbling up as all your hard work is about to pay off. But hey, with just a week left, let’s make sure you’re all set and not scrambling at the last minute.

I’ve put together a handy cheat sheet checklist to keep you on track. It’s not a one-size-fits-all kinda thing, but I’m hoping it helps you cover all the bases without any stress. After all, who needs that in the final stretch, right?

Checklist For One Week Before Your Wedding:

1. Give your venue your final guest count and finalize your seating chart.
2. Confirm your morning schedule with your hairstylist and makeup artist.
3. Haircut for the groom.
4. Clean your engagement ring.
5. Make sure your photographer has your shot list
6. If you are writing your vows, practice them to calm your nerves.
7. Check-in with your planner or coordinator to make sure they have everything they need from you.
8. Meet with all your vendors to go over the timeline and any specifics that are important to you.
9. Pay any balances that you owe so you can focus on other things for the rest of the week.
10. Go on a date with your partner to de-stress.
11. Start packing for your honeymoon!

Checklist For 2-3 Days Before Your Wedding:

• Organize the ceremony and reception decor.
  • • Pro-tip: Set up each centerpiece how you want it and take a picture. Separate each table into its own box and include the picture in the box.
• Make any last-minute changes to your seating chart (if necessary).
• Go for your spray tan, mani, and pedi.
• Pack an emergency kit with wedding day must-haves like spray-on deodorant, mints, feminine products, bobby pins, Advil or Tylenol, scissors, and a sewing kit (just in case)
  • • Pro-tip: if you have a dress that has loops to be pulled over buttons don’t forget to pack a crochet hook!
• If you are giving gifts make sure they are wrapped and ready to go!

Checklist For 1-2 Days Before Your Wedding:

• Place final payments in envelopes for each wedding pro and give it to a trusted friend or your planner to hand out on the wedding day.
• Have your rehearsal dinner.
• Check-in with the bridal party to make sure they have everything they need for the wedding.
• Pack your overnight bag for where you are staying the night before the wedding.

Checklist For The Day Before Your Wedding:

• Drop off the decor at the venue.
• Make sure you have all your wedding documents in a safe place and nominate a trusted friend to bring them if your officiant hasn’t taken them from you.
• Steam anything that has wrinkled.
• Get a good night’s sleep!
