The Week before the Wedding

Peak wedding season is almost here.  After months of checklists, samples, tastings and fittings, the final week before the wedding is when planning should be complete and the bride can relax before her big day. But between the final manicures and finalizing the song lists, there are a few crucial details that shouldn’t be forgotten in that final week.  Read on for a list of 6 easy-to-forget-just-before-the-wedding details.

wedding thank you cardsTell family members about reserved seating

Tell family members about reserved seating during the wedding rehearsal.  If groomsmen will be escorting guests to their seats, make sure they are aware of who goes where.

Bring your cell phone charger

Your cell phone may be busy between good luck wishes and last minute questions on your special day.  Be sure your phone is fully charged and bring a charger – especially if you’ll be leaving for your honeymoon immediately afterwards.

Order wedding thank you cards ahead of time

Etiquette guidelines recommend sending wedding thank you cards 2 weeks after your nuptials which doesn’t leave much time to buy stationery after your honeymoon return.  Having cards on-hand will make it much easier to write a note of thanks as you put your new gifts away.

Designate someone to collect your gifts

Ask a relative or friend to gather all gifts and envelopes and keep them in a designated place until your honeymoon return.

Pack an emergency kit

Have a small bag on-hand that contains a sewing kit, safety pins, clear nail polish, asprin, tissues, bobby pins, and anything else you think you may need.  This is something you can pack well ahead of time – just don’t forget to bring it on the day!

Create an itinerary

Print out several copies of your wedding day schedule for key members of your wedding party.  This will ensure that nobody misses photographs, gets lost, or has any questions about the day’s events.  It’s also a good idea to leave someone with your honeymoon itinerary, especially if you are heading oversees with limited or no cell phone access.
