30 Days to Go! Guidelines
After you've spent months or a year planning and scheduling each minute element of your wedding, you will wake up one morning and realize that it is the last few weeks before the ceremony and there are things you have not done. Do not be surprised if your mind goes blank and you simply cannot keep in mind what needs to be done. Stress!
Here is a quick guideline to get you again on track and relieve some of your stress:
* This would be a very good time to apply for your marriage license, if you haven't already finished it. Different localities have different requirements so you and your fianc have to take a little advance care with this process. Usually, it is a job handled by the groom.
The license is usually issued by the County Clerk or the Clerk of the Court. There can be a fee. Verify in advance for the fee and method of payment required. Some states require blood tests and others require tests for German measles, venereal diseases, sickle-cell anemia, tuberculosis, etc.
* Your dress needs a final fitting now to make certain there's time to make any adjustments needed. While you're at it, ensure that your bridesmaids and groomsmen have their attire ready to go.
* All your distributors must be contacted to verify arrival/delivery dates and times. This consists of your caterer, florist, musicians, photographer, hotels, reception hall, minister or other officiate, transportation and hotel reservations and the bakery creating your wedding cake.
* Take a while to test your wedding program for accuracy before you print it. Send a future change of address form to the post office. Make a list of those invited visitors who haven't responded to your request for an RSVP and ask your mother or sister to contact them. As soon as you know how many out-of-town friends you will have, create your welcome baskets for them.
* As soon as you obtain gifts, write thank you notes. Individuals consider it bad manners to have to wait weeks to get thanked for sending a gift.
Two Weeks to Go:
A couple of weeks before your ceremony, flesh out your seating plan and write your place cards. Affirm any last minute details and inform your caterer what number to expect. Complete your seating chart.
Pick up your dress and hang it where it will not wrinkle or get caught on something. Occasionally walk round your own home wearing your wedding footwear to break them in and make them comfy for your walk down the aisle.
Arrange for a home sitter while you are on your honeymoon, if necessary. You may need somebody to water your plants or handle your pets while you're gone.
Ensure that someone has a list of your honeymoon itinerary and contact info in case of an emergency.
With your fianc, write toasts for the rehearsal dinner and reception. Attend your bachelor or bachelorette parties.
The Day Before:
Your out-of-town friends will likely be arriving. Loosen up with them and make them comfortable. Personally give them their welcome baskets or have them already in their rooms.
Take a break and have a manicure, pedicure and maybe a massage.
Affirm your transportation schedule.
Attend the rehearsal that afternoon or evening and hold the rehearsal dinner. Give your wedding party their gifts and make sure they know their individual obligations, like handing out corsages and boutonnieres, escorting guests down the aisle
The Big Day:
Give your parents their wedding gifts, if you did not do it on the rehearsal dinner.
Comply with the schedule you have arranged for the morning; hair dresser, make up, etc., and you will make it simply fine to the wedding with every little thing working pretty smoothly.
