It’s almost time! With just one month to go, it’s all about those final details that will make your wedding day truly unforgettable. Here’s your ultimate checklist to ensure everything comes together perfectly.
Beauty and Self-Care: Treat yourself to some well-deserved self-care!
Book those appointments for your hair, nails, spray tan, waxing, or eyelashes. Whether you’re going for a fresh haircut and color, a trial run of your wedding hairstyle, or indulging in a calming spa day, these moments of self-care will leave you glowing with confidence on your big day.
Schedule a haircut, grooming, or even a massage—anything that helps you feel relaxed and confident. These little touches will ensure you look and feel your absolute best when the big day arrives!
Packing Essentials:
Start organizing everything you’ll need for your wedding weekend, the big day, your wedding night, and your honeymoon. This includes your outfits for every day, accessories, toiletries, favorite perfume, and even a cozy outfit for the day after. Having everything packed and ready will keep you feeling relaxed and prepared as the excitement builds.
Here’s a tip for packing and gathering items for your wedding day: Break up the day into sections to make sure you don’t miss a thing.
- Getting Ready and Detail Moments in the Bridal Suite: Pack everything you’ll need for those special pre-ceremony moments. This includes your wedding dress, veil, shoes, jewelry, vow book, ring box wedding invitation, photos and any sentimental items you want to be photographed. Don’t forget your “getting ready” outfit and slippers—something comfortable but cute for those early morning photos.
- Guest Book and Items for the Guest Table: Gather everything you need for the guest table, including your guest book, pens, framed photos, custom match books, a Polaroid camera with film, and any other personal touches you want to add. These details will help set the tone for your guests as they arrive and start celebrating with you.
- Ceremony + Reception: Gather all the essentials like flower petals for the petal toss, programs for the guests, name cards, table numbers, photos, and your cake topper.
- Create an Emergency Kit: Be prepared for anything with an emergency kit that includes safety pins, pain relievers, tissues, mints, a sewing kit, band-aids, and anything else you might need. This little kit will be your lifesaver if any last-minute hiccups arise.
Organize these items in advance and hand them off to your planner, coordinator, or family members, so they can seamlessly set everything up. By breaking down the day into sections and planning accordingly, you’ll ensure that every detail is covered, allowing you to relax and fully enjoy each moment of your reception!
Vendor Coordination:
This is the time to finalize all the details with your vendors. Schedule calls to confirm the timeline, make any final payments, and organize tips. Ensuring everyone is on the same page will make the day run smoothly. Trust me, your future self will thank you for this!
Attire:
Schedule your final dress fitting and make sure everything is perfect—from your gown to your shoes and even your getting-ready outfit. Double-check that the bridesmaids’ dresses and the men’s suits are ready to go, too. Knowing everyone will look amazing will give you peace of mind.
Legal Preparation:
Don’t forget the marriage license! Double-check the requirements in your state or country and make an appointment to get everything squared away. It’s one of the most important steps, so make sure it’s on your radar.
Final Touches and Logistics:
Take a deep breath and review your guest count, seating chart, and wedding day timeline. These final touches are what bring the day together, so make sure everything is just the way you want it. Confirm with your venue and vendors to ensure everyone’s on the same page.
Prepare and Wrap Gifts:
Show your appreciation by wrapping up thoughtful gifts for your bridal party and family. These tokens of love and gratitude will mean the world to them, and it’s a sweet way to say thank you for being part of your journey.
Rehearsal and Rehearsal Dinner:
Finally, confirm all the details and timing for your rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. This pre-wedding gathering is your chance to relax, enjoy, and soak in the excitement with your nearest and dearest.
With this checklist, you’ll be all set to enjoy your wedding day without a hitch. Get excited—the countdown is on!
