There are so many things to do right before the wedding, but how do you remember everything? Keep a good list!

And here is a good start...

Gather all the items that need to go to the ceremony location, see Take to the Ceremony Checklist.

Designate someone to take these items to the ceremony and put in their proper place (i.e. ceremony programs, unity candle, pew bows, etc.)

Gather all items that need to go to the reception location. For a complete list see Take to the Reception Checklist.

Designate someone to take these items to the reception and place in their proper location (i.e. favors, guest book & pen, toasting flutes) For a complete list, See Take To The Reception Checklist.

Designate someone to be in charge of the gift table and be sure to give them some scotch tape. By the time the gifts are transported to and from the reception, the cards can get misplaced.

Give final head count to the caterer. Be sure to count meals for your DJ, Band or entertainer, photographer and wedding coordinator.

Give the counts for adults, children under 12, and your wedding vendors separately because your caterer will usually charge less for children and meals for the wedding vendors.

Put together an Emergency Kit. You never know what items you or your bridesmaids may need... extra nylons, breath mints, or clear nail polish.

Finish wedding favors and wedding program if you haven't already!

Clean your engagement ring.

Make sure you have your wedding rings and they fit properly.

Pick up wedding attire and make sure everything fits properly and you have everything you need.

Break in wedding shoes.

Contact wedding guests that have not responded.

Finalize seating chart.

Alphabetize seating place cards.

Buy Champagne (or other beverages) for the limo, if not provided.

Decide who will be bringing home the gifts and gift envelopes after the wedding.

If you are having a receiving line, review the guest list with your finance to help you both remember the names of all those relatives you haven't seen in awhile.

Pick up marriage license. Designate someone to take license to the ceremony to give to Officiant.

Confirm details for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.

Have rehearsal with attendants and make sure everyone knows their "duties" for the wedding day.... Who is going to hold the rings, where do they stand, who lines up first, second, third to walk down aisle.

Create a Wedding Day Itinerary for yourself and your attendants. It will help everyone know where to be and when!
