2 Weeks Prior to Your Big Day

2 Weeks Prior to Your Big Day

Finalize your invitation log and see if you need to make final calls or confirmations. Start by drawing out the hall and the table locations. Find out how many people you can fit on each table (usually 10-12 people on the regular round tables). Then start on filtering your list and figure out the following:

Decide on if you will be having the entire wedding party sit on the main table, or will you just want yourself, the groom, best-man and the maid-of-honor?

Will you have a separate table for the bridesmaids and the groomsmen?

Decide on which tables you would like to be filled by closer friends, family and elders.

Once you have the above steps finalized, you will be filling out the place cards. Provide a print out of the list to someone who you will be assigning to be outside greeting your guests when they arrive.

Finalize the menu with the caterer/hall. Finalize menu for alcohol and cake (if part of contract) Go over the contract and make sure that the contract includes everything that you initially discussed.

Prepare to give everyone a small gift to thank and appreciate their assistance with planning your Big Day and also for being part of such a special occasion. Confirm time for all the wedding party members as to where to meet.

Double check attire and accessories for yourself and for all the wedding party members.
