Are you getting married the next week? Or are you one of those people who carefully plan everything? Are you already planning your wedding twelve months in advance, from start to finish? (We've got you!)
For all those girls, who love all things planned, and marked and mentioned in calendars, journals, spreadsheets, and checklists, we are here to help you with your last-minute preparations with few days left for your wedding.
If you've reached "the final countdown," here's a list of everything you should be doing the week before your wedding!
Do you like checklists? Here are some useful wedding planning to-dos for each step of wedding planning.
Give your final count to both venue and caterer
Make sure you know when the final guest count is required—and that you submit it on time! Otherwise, you may be forced to pay for the original (read, higher) number of guests you quoted. Also, let your caterer know how many vendor meals you'll require. Make sure to inquire about any particular dietary needs with the vendors. They'll appreciate good food after working for 13 hours to make your day wonderful.
Do practice your wedding vows
Practising your vows aloud is an excellent way to ensure that the words you've written down translate exactly how you want them to when spoken publicly. Not to add, on your wedding day, you're bound to experience "about to tie the knot" nerves. Rehearsing your wedding vows will help to calm your nerves. If you intend to memorise your wedding vows, you should surely practise them several times.
Try on your full wedding look
This suggestion goes to both the bride and groom. Carefully try on your entire wedding attire to ensure that everything is right on the big day.
If you're wearing a bridal gown or a tuxedo, make sure you remove any makeup and accessories before taking them off. For the best dress style of the month, follow our official website. You want to avoid imperfections that you won't be able to fix before your wedding day. You should also request assistance from a bridesmaid (or groomsmen, if you're the groom) in case you require assistance with an item of clothing on your wedding day. This guarantees that someone in your wedding party understands how to assist you in getting ready (if needed).
Check-in with your wedding vendors
Check-in with your wedding vendors to ensure that everyone is on the same page. In the wedding business, there is no such thing as overcommunicating. Contact your caterer, DJ (or musicians), photographer, videographer, wedding planners, and any other suppliers who will be a part of your special day. They'll be delighted to be well-prepared to serve you on your wedding day.
Clean your wedding ring properly
Clean your wedding ring, so it sparkles in the light and looks its best, just like you.
Maintain consistency in your beauty routine
Make certain that your beauty routine remains consistent and that no drastic changes are made. You never know how new products or treatments will impact your skin or hair until you try them. This is not something you want to try out a week before your wedding.
Pack wedding and honeymoon essentials
You don't want to be scrambling around the day before your wedding shopping for items you'll need on the wedding day and on your honeymoon. Pack your essentials ahead of time, such as your wedding ring, any decorations, clothes for your honeymoon, and so on. With an organised wedding preparation, you'll feel relaxed a day before your wedding. This will also eliminate the risk of any item being missed out.
Close all of your personal loose ends
For example, are you taking time off from work for your wedding and honeymoon? First, make sure you have all of your ducks in a row. Get your leave approved beforehand, set up your email away message, complete any projects, cover your shifts, and so on. You want all of your day-to-day life responsibilities to be taken care of so that you can fully relax and enjoy your celebration!
