Wedding Countdown

1. Guest Count: Are all your guests accounted for...This is a major must check so you don't have to face the obstacle of adding on extra plate at the last minute at your reception. Do a re-count to see who has RSVP’d and who hasn't.
TIP: To speed up the process ask your bridal party to help you count the guest list.

2. All About You: If you haven't already ensure that all your beauty (hair, make up, spa) essentials are booked solid. The worst thing is showing up for your wedding day appointment only to find out you`ve been double booked. Your wedding day is not the day to experiment with new vendors.

3. Weather Worry: This is the last thing you have to fret about, but a week before the wedding, it'd be a good plan to keep an eye out for the weather. You should have a back up plan set just in case a storm rolls in.

4. Confirm! Confirm! Confirm!: Cannot stress enough. It's best to call and confirm with all your vendors—especially the ones coming on the day of (ie transportation, caterer, photographer, florist, etc...) that they'll be where required at the appropriate time. Most often, vendors will follow up themselves, so if they haven't called a few days prior to your wedding, check in with them.

5. Bridal Emergency Kit: Realistically, there might be a few stumble you encounter along the way on your wedding day. Make sure you have a little 911 kit to go to for your last minute emergencies.

6. Honeymoon Details: If you're jetting off right after your wedding, ensure your luggage is packed and ready to go. The last thing you want to do is stress over what you forgot to pack during your actual wedding. Make a checklist prior to packing and check everything off as you go.

7. Rehearsal Dinner: Make sure your ceremony venue is booked for your dress rehearsal. This is is an important event especially for your bridal party. Stress to them that their attendance is vital as this is the only time you can walk through the wedding day before hand.Important Documents: Check to see that you have all the proper documents ready in order to obtain a proper marriage license. And for those of you changing your last name, see what type of requirements are needed to make changes to your driver's license, bank account, etc...While you're at it, check to see the expiration of your passport—nothing is worse than showing up at the airport only to find out that you can't take off.
