A Day Before Your Wedding Checklist
Take a deep breath, shake out those jitters and make sure all your last-minute details are covered. Use this easy checklist to iron out the final tasks before your wedding. Once everything is in place, you’ll be relaxed on the day before your wedding.
- Call each of your vendors to confirm arrival times and any last-minute details. When you call your caterer, give your final head count. If you haven’t officially scheduled group shots with your wedding photographer, do this now.
- If you’re traveling directly after your wedding, start packing at least three days before the ceremony.
- Email your bridesmaids and groomsmen with a list of everyone’s cell phone numbers and email addresses so that everyone can coordinate and communicate when they’re in town for the wedding.
- Wear your wedding shoes around the house for a few hours at a time if you’ve never worn them before. Just be cautious to avoid blisters or soreness before your big day.
- Give checks and tips in envelopes to your wedding organizer so that he or she can pay your vendors at the appropriate times on your wedding day. If you’re not working with a wedding planner, assign this task to a close friend or relative. If you don’t have a wedding planner, you also need to ensure that someone reliable can bring home your wedding gifts after the reception.
- Take care of yourself—non-wedding-related activities can be one of your most important wedding planning tools. Schedule some light time at the gym, an early morning walk or a movie night with your girlfriends. If you find yourself getting stressed out, remind yourself that you’re prepared and move on to something distracting and fun.
