Ruby's Blog | Planning Checklist: 1-2 Weeks Before the Wedding and On

Hello Brides and Grooms To Be!

I’m Ruby, the Rochester Bride! As a newlywed of the Rochester area, I love sharing my knowledge of the wedding experience with newly engaged couples. This week I can’t wait to share with you some tips and pointers about the next step in creating your own planning checklist, which is 1-2 weeks before your wedding and on!

1-2 Weeks
  1.  Get address and name change forms for social security card, driver's license, etc.
  2. Call guests who have not responded.
  3. Confirm all the earlier listed services. (IE, photographer, reception caterer, music,...)
  4. Prepare place cards for reception.
  5. Give your caterer or reception site a final count of guests.
  6. Pack for honeymoon.
  7. Confirm details with attendants.
  8. Write thank-you's for wedding gifts you have received.
  9. Confirm rehearsal dinner details.
One Day Before
  1. Pamper yourself (massage, manicure, tanning...).
  2. Lay out your wedding attire and accessories.
  3. Prepare emergency sewing kit, make-up bag, and overnight bag.
  4. Have fun at your ceremony rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.
  5. Go to bed early! You will have a long day ahead of you tomorrow!
Your Wedding Day
  1. Eat a good breakfast.
  2. ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE PLANNED. IT IS YOUR DAY!
