How To Go Through The Countdown Of Your Wedding

No, matter how many preparations one does before the wedding, some or the other last minute chores are bound up to come up. One of the ways to prevent such a hazard is by making the countdown lists for the various times before the wedding. For example, there can be one list for all the things that need to be taken care of around 3 months prior to the final day, one for one month before, another list for a fortnight before, one for a week before and then one for just one day before the wedding day.

Such kind of lists can be very helpful in remembering all the details as well as all the chores that would need to be completed before the final day and the chances of any confusion are reduced to almost zero. Lets us have a look at the various things that need to be kept in mind during these various countdowns: -
Jobs to be done 3 months before the wedding: . The invitations must be sent by this time to all the guests so that they can get enough time to plan their programs and inform the hosts accordingly. . The music that will be played in the wedding, the hymns and all should also be decided by this time. . Shopping for the bridesmaids, best man and other important people can also be done by this time and the gifts can be packed and kept properly at one place. . The theme of the wedding, the decorations, the seating arrangement as well as the flower arrangements can be discussed and finalized by this stage. . The menu can be finalized with the caterer and the responsibilities in this regard can be completely handed over to him or her.

- Jobs to be taken care of 1 month before the wedding: . All the allocated jobs will need to be reconfirmed and re checked for their confirmed status and informed about any changes if required. . The wedding dresses of the bride and the groom as well as the other important members must be ready for the final trial so that all the changes can be done well in time. . The bookings for the honeymoon must also be reconfirmed at this point of time. . Thank you cards must also be made ready by this time and even sent out to the people who have sent any responses to the invitations.

- Things that need to be taken care of a week before the wedding: . The bride and the groom must go through a wedding rehearsal at least a week before the final wedding day. This will help them relax a bit on the wedding day and help the organizers to understand the conditions better. . Packing for the honeymoon can also be done by this time so that any last moment shopping or packing does not bother the bride or the groom. All these things when kept in mind when make the wedding day extremely special and memorable.
