4 TO 2 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR WEDDING

91. Pick up the wedding rings making sure to check the engravings BEFORE you leave the shop.

92. Order alcohol (wine, champagne, liquor) if they are not included in the catering contract. Consider organic wine and champagne for your wedding. If you’re having a signature wedding cocktail, make sure you have the recipe to give to bartenders.

Confirm the wedding flowers, bouquets and boutonierres

93. Confirm the number of bouquets, boutonnieres and centerpieces with your florist.

94. Finalize your vows and send them along with any special preferences, readings, or other details to your officiant in writing

95. Are children coming to the wedding? Arrange for entertainment or a babysitter.

96. Try on the wedding clothes: dress, tuxedo, bridesmaids, etc. in case of any last-minute alterations. At your final gown fitting, bring a friend to learn how to tie the bustle.

97. Obtain a marriage license. Follow your state’s guidelines concerning how soon you can apply, and how long the license is valid for.
