10 Things

As the big day approaches there are a few things you must plan for!

Have a Crew | Put together a group of a few different people that you are close with that can help you with both set-up and tear-down after the event. Think beyond just your bridesmaids + groomsmen, since the day-of they will be busy with you and taking photos beforehand.
Bad Weather Plan | Make sure you have a back-up plan and your wedding coordinator + other vendors know what the plan is and how you would like it executed.
Getting Ready Robes or PJs | These make for great photos + a fun gift for your bridal party. Don’t forget any parents or flower girls that might also be getting ready with you.
Food | I know you have your food all figured out for your reception, but do not forget about snacks + drinks during set-up day and the morning of while getting ready for both the groomsmen and the bridesmaids!
Change of Clothes | If you plan on staying + helping clean up post-wedding or if you are planning on leaving from the reception to go on your honeymoon, more than likely you will want a change of clothes. Go ahead and have everything you + your new spouse need to change.
Gratuity | When planning do not forget to add tips into your budget for your vendors. A few days before the wedding put the tips in labeled envelops with a little “Thank You” card so they are ready for you or your coordinator to hand out on the day of the event.
Do-Not-Play List | We all have a few songs that we just don’t love or have a bad memory with, add them to a do-not-play list, and give to your DJ a few weeks before the wedding.
Transportation | Have a plan in place for how the bridal party will get to the wedding site and how you will leave as newlyweds.
Honeymoon | If you plan on leaving for your honeymoon directly after the wedding don’t forget to pack a few days before. Then the morning of the wedding go ahead and put all of the suitcases in the vehicle.
Golden Hour | The perfect hour before the sunsets, think about this timing when you are setting your wedding ceremony time.
