1. Finalize Your Guest Count

Some guests may forget to RSVP, but your caterer and seating chart can’t wait. Reach out to the remaining invitees and lock in your final numbers. This is key for meal planning, rentals, and printed materials.

2. Schedule Your Final Dress Fitting

Make sure your wedding gown fits perfectly. A final fitting will allow for any last-minute alterations so you can walk down the aisle with confidence.

3. Confirm Hair & Makeup Styles

You’ve already booked your beauty team—now it’s time to finalize your look. Share inspiration, do a final trial if needed, and agree on a schedule for the big day.

4. Book Pre-Wedding Beauty Treatments

Treat yourself to some pampering. Schedule appointments for manicures, pedicures, facials, or massages to help you look and feel your best.

5. Check In With All Vendors

Two weeks before your wedding, confirm all logistics with your vendors—timelines, delivery schedules, contact info, and final payments. Clear communication ensures a smooth event.

6. Obtain Your Marriage License

This one’s non-negotiable! Check the requirements in your area and be sure to secure your marriage license at least 24 hours before your ceremony.

7. Create a Detailed Wedding Day Timeline

A clear, hour-by-hour schedule keeps everyone—vendors, bridal party, family—on the same page. Share it ahead of time to avoid confusion and last-minute hiccups.

8. Pack a Wedding Day Emergency Kit

From safety pins to stain remover and snacks, an emergency kit can save the day. Include essentials like pain relievers, tissues, and fashion tape.

9. Maintain a Skincare Routine

Consistency is key for radiant skin. Stick to a gentle, nourishing routine tailored to your skin type to ensure you glow naturally on your big day.

10. Print Place Cards and Finalize Seating

With your guest list set, organize your seating plan and print place cards to help guests find their seats with ease.

11. Prepare Bridal Party Gifts

Show your appreciation with thoughtful gifts for your bridesmaids and groomsmen. Include a handwritten note to express your gratitude.

12. Write a Heartfelt Note to Your Partner

Before the whirlwind of the day begins, take a quiet moment to write a love letter to your soon-to-be spouse. It’s a beautiful, personal touch that grounds you in what the day is truly about.

With these 12 key tasks checked off your list, you’ll feel more in control and ready to enjoy the celebration you’ve worked so hard to plan.
