Do You Have What You Need? A Wedding Checklist Can Help

As most brides will tell you, they panic in the weeks leading up to the wedding because they think they are forgetting to follow up with something. If you are one of these brides, you can really stay on top of things with a wedding checklist.  Of course, if you are clueless about what a wedding entails – i.e. all the nitty gritty details – a checklist can be a godsend.

You can find a variety of sources in magazines, the internet and even the bookstore for your wedding checklist.  Naturally, your budget, theme and mood (informal vs. formal) for the wedding will likely dictate the type of checklist you need to use. Most of these checklists start months in advance – even up to a year – and include how to announce your engagement and even who will perform the official duties of the ceremony.

Besides your budget, one of the most important things on your wedding checklist will be finding your wedding dress as well as the accessories like shoes, jewelry, veil and gloves. Some weddings dresses have to be ordered and can take months to get in. Then, you have to schedule fittings and alterations into your checklist.

Caterers, the ceremony and reception site, musicians, flowers, bridal and groom attendants, booking the honeymoon, the wedding cake, wedding photographer and even planning the rehearsal dinner are all part of the wedding checklist. Ordering your invitations and creating your invitation list are additional duties as well. Even if your wedding is in front of the Justice of the Peace, there are details you can keep track of with a wedding checklist such as blood tests and scheduling the exchanging of vows.

As a bride, in the final weeks leading to your ceremony, delegate, delegate, delegate! Make copies of your wedding checklist and let your mom, your future mother-in-law and best friend help you. Just highlight the tasks you want them to accomplish and have them report back to you so you can update the main checklist. Trusting in close family and friends can ensure you have every item on your wedding checklist complete.
