As your wedding day approaches, the final two weeks are crucial for tying up loose ends and ensuring a smooth, stress-free celebration. This is the time to confirm details, prepare essentials, and finalize arrangements so that you can relax and fully enjoy your big day.

The final wedding to do list

1. Vendor Confirmations

Reach out to all vendors approximately two weeks before the event to confirm every detail.

  • Double-Check Contracts: Review agreements to ensure that services, arrival times, and responsibilities are clear.

  • Share the Schedule: Provide vendors with the timeline of the day, including setup and breakdown times.

  • Emergency Contact Information: Share contact details of a reliable point person (e.g., your planner or a trusted friend) who can handle questions or issues on the wedding day.

  • Final Payments and Gratuities: Confirm outstanding balances and prepare tips in labeled envelopes to distribute on the day of the event.

2. Day-of Emergency Kit

Pack an emergency kit to address unexpected situations. Essential items include:

  • Beauty Supplies: Makeup, hairspray, deodorant, blotting papers, and a comb or brush.

  • Medical Supplies: Band-aids, pain relievers, antacids, and any personal medications.

  • Wardrobe Fixes: Safety pins, a small sewing kit, double-sided tape, stain remover, and extra buttons.

  • Miscellaneous Items: Snacks, water bottles, tissues, mints, and phone chargers.

3. Personal Essentials for the Big Day

Prepare a bag with the items you’ll need on the wedding day. Include:

  • Your wedding day attire and accessories (jewelry, shoes, veil).

  • Marriage license and any required documents.

  • A copy of your vows, if you’ve written them.

4. Guest Communication

Send out a final reminder to your guests, including details about the schedule, location, and any special instructions (e.g., parking information or dress codes). A wedding website is a great tool to consolidate this information.

5. Relax and Delegate

Delegate responsibilities to your planner, bridal party, or trusted friends and family. Knowing that someone else is managing the details allows you to focus on celebrating and creating memories.

By addressing these final details, you’ll set the stage for a flawless and joyful wedding day.
