Alright, lovebirds, buckle up! It’s officially crunch time with your wedding planning checklist in hand. The big day is just a month away, and it’s time to shift gears into high wedding planning mode. Don’t worry; this isn’t gonna be all stuffy checklists and spreadsheets (although those are important, too). This is your month to tie up loose ends, finalize those details, and get ready to celebrate like Beyonce at Coachella!
First things first: Vendors are your rockstars this month. Double-check all their arrangements, like rockstar riders, but for weddings (think fancy food and specific lighting demands). Finalize those payments, and remember to prep some tip envelopes to show your gratitude on the big day (think groupies throwing cash at the stage).
Speaking of the big day: Have you secured your marriage license? That’s like your backstage pass to wedded bliss. Stay cool from getting cold feet at the door because you forgot the golden ticket!
Food and Beverage: This is where things get fun! Finalize that bar menu because who doesn’t love a good signature drink? And don’t forget to plan those meals – gotta keep your guests fueled for all the dancing! Speaking of dancing, have you gotten those gifts for your amazing bridesmaids and groomsmen? They’re your hype crew, so make sure they know how much you appreciate them!
Now let’s talk entertainment: Get that wedding music playlist bumpin’. This is your chance to create the perfect soundtrack to your love story. Coordinate with your wedding photographer to make sure they capture all those magical moments (think award-worthy close-ups and epic dance floor candids).
Pro Tip: Craft a wedding day itinerary, like a concert setlist, to keep everything running smoothly. This is your roadmap to wedded bliss! Don’t forget to do a final run-through of all the printed materials, like your wedding programs – gotta make sure the lyrics are right!
Next up: Transportation! Arrange rides for your bridal party because nobody wants to miss the main event (unless it’s to grab emergency snacks – but let’s hope not!).
Fashion Show Time! Have a final dress (and suit!) fitting to make sure everything looks flawless. And for the bride, practice that bustle – you don’t want any wardrobe malfunctions during your grand entrance (unless it’s a planned wardrobe change into something sparkly for the reception – that’s totally okay).
Your one-week wedding planning checklist
Almost there! This is where you take a deep breath and remember it’s okay if there are a few last-minute details. That’s what bridesmaids and groomsmen are for – they’re your backup dancers, ready to jump in and fix any minor mishaps. Just relax, have fun, and get ready to celebrate!
Bonus Round: Settle those vendor bills beforehand, and double-check those due dates. Label those tip envelopes – remember, 15-20% is industry standard for these amazing vendors who helped make your day unforgettable. Research those marriage license laws, gotta make sure everything is legal and above board.
Food and Beverage Champs: Final touches on the bar menu – get those drink recipes locked in and make sure there’s enough variety to keep everyone happy. Coordinate with your DJ and share that Do Not Play list – nobody wants an awkward song selection during their first dance!
The Final Countdown: Develop a detailed schedule for the day, like a concert rundown, and share it with everyone involved. Don’t forget those guest gifts, and make sure those table numbers, place cards, and programs are all squared away. If there are any last-minute snafus, don’t panic – just hit the rush order button and keep the party going!
The Big Day! Final wedding checklist you will need.
It’s finally here! All those months of working on your wedding planning checklist culminate in this beautiful celebration of love. Double check with vendors, finalize payments, and hand out those tip envelopes – shower them with love (and cash)! Let the music flow, capture those memories with your photographer, and most importantly, have the time of your life! This is your day to shine, lovebirds, so dance the night away and soak up every moment. Cheers to your happily ever after!
