After your wedding

Now that all festivities have taken place their are a few details to wrap-up. Have your gown cleaned and preserved. Assemble with your photographer and videographer to finalize your albums. Write thank you cards and have them in the mail no later than 2-3 months after your wedding.

Congratulations!!!

The day of your wedding

Relax, you're done. Don't worry about something going wrong...it will and your day will still be wonderful.

Remember to eat and drink plenty of water. If you have a make-up and/or hair appointment, remember to wear a button-up shirt so that you wont mess it up.

This is the day you have worked so hard for. Stand back and enjoy all that is going on arround you!

The day before your wedding

If you can, pick-up tuxes and make sure all needed accessories are with it. Pick -up rental equipment if it isn't being delivered. Organize all final payments and ask a reliable person to distribute them to the appropriate persons.

Take a deep breath!

Week of your wedding

If you haven't already, get your hair cut/colored; pick-up your wedding gown and make sure to place all needed accessories with it; pack for your wedding night and honeymoon.

All arrangements have been made, relax and enjoy this time...you're about to be married!

1-2 Weeks

Atleast two weeks before the wedding, you should have your final gown fitting.

The week before, confirm all dates and times with wedding vendors. Arrange for someone reliable to transport your gifts home safely. And, if you have extra time, you can start writing thank you cards.

Things are really getting busy!!!

3-4 Weeks

Time to get your marriage license from your local City Hall. Confirm all wedding party attire is ready and finalize your accessories (something old, something new, something barrowed, and something blue).

Helpful hint: I have two large containers that I have been storing wedding supplies in; one is designated for the ceremony and one for the reception. Everytime I think of something we will need, I put it in the appropriate container. Then the night of rehearsal we will take the containers with us to the wedding facility ensuring that all supplies will be with us. Don't forget to include emergency items such as needle, thread, extra nylons/socks, band aids, etc.

Last minute details are needing to be looked at. It is time to mail your wedding invitations; confirm bridesmaids have made any necessary alterations; groom and groomsmen should have had a first tux fitting, rings need to be purchased, have a consultation appointment with your make-up artist and hairstylist; meet with both the band/DJ as well as your photographer to develop a plan; practice dancing with your wedding shoes on, and confirm a final head count for your caterer.

Hang-on things are about to get bumpy!
