6-8 WEEKS Until the Big "I Do!"

^^Above Table Number design by // "The Funky Shack Art Studio" | "Distressed Chalkboard" Design Set

• MAIL your wedding INVITATIONS

→ TIP: I recommend as close to 8 weeks out as possible!

• Be prepared to COLLECT/devise a system for collecting your wedding day RSVPs

• Finalize your wedding day MENU

• Schedule and have your FORMAL WEDDING PORTRAITS done by your photographer

• Schedule all SPA, HAIR, MAKEUP, and NAIL APPOINTMENTS

→ TIP: Work with your hair- and make-up stylists to play around with possible wedding-day looks, so that all of you are on the same page BEFORE the big day arrives! This will save everyone time and undue stress in the long run.

• Send WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT and photo to local newspaper(s)

• Secure final headcount for your REHEARSAL DINNER

• Obtain your MARRIAGE LICENSE

• Plan your BACHELORETTE/BACHELOR PARTY

→ TIP: Don`t get too crazy or stay out too late! We want everyone to arrive on wedding day bushy-tail and bright-eyed, in one piece, rested, refreshed, and 100% ready to take in the wonderful memories of the day you say “I Do!”

Tune in tomorrow for the next installment in my "Wedding Planning Timeline" Blitz, where we will discuss the planning preparations that should be considered 2-6 weeks prior to your wedding day!
