4 TO 3 MONTHS BEFORE YOUR WEDDING

71. Make an appointment with a hairdresser and/or makeup artist to do a consultation and trial of your wedding day look. We’ve got a bunch of bridal beauty tips and hairstyle ideas!

72. Start looking into your wedding transportation. Will you take a limo, classic car, convertible or bicycle? Look for something that suits your wedding style and consider reserving a trolley to transport you and your entire wedding party. We love the all-white “Felicity” wedding trolley in San Diego, CA.

73. Discuss the rehearsal dinner with the groom’s parents and decide who is invited.

74. What are your plans for the bachelor and bachelorette parties? Discuss this with your groom and wedding party before confirming plans.

75. If you want to celebrate with a stag ‘n’ drag party, you should prepare for this now. For a stag party, there aren’t official invitations and it could generate into a big party. Be prepared with a large venue and plenty of food and drinks.

76. Schedule any other events including bridal showers.

77. Provide the maid of honor, best man and anyone else coordinating an event with guests lists for each party and shower.

78. Schedule an initial fitting for your wedding dress and also schedule a final fitting no later than three weeks before your wedding day.

79. Book your wedding transportation!

80. Address your invitations now especially if you are relying on a caligrapher. They must be ready to be delivered 6-8 weeks before the wedding.
