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

• Gather all the items that need to go to the ceremony location and designate someone to put them in their proper place (i.e. ceremony programs, unity candle, pew bows, etc.)
  Use our Ceremony Checklist!
• Gather all items that need to go to the reception location and designate someone to put them in their proper place (i.e. favors, guest book & pen, toasting flutes)
  Use our Reception Checklist!

• Bridal Accessories: > Shoes > Purses > Gloves Beautiful selection of bridal shoes, purses and accessories

  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 and 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.
  Use our Emergency Kit Checklist!
• Finish the wedding favors and the wedding program if you haven't already!
• Clean 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.
