A planner leading up to the day of your wedding is always a great way to keep organized and on track right up until the day of your event. Here's a draft of the things that should be done starting one year to the day of your wedding.
12 months - Dress shop in magazines, decide on a budget, and pick the date
10 months - Start browsing websites for caterers, DJs/bands, wedding planners, and florists. Start a rough draft of your guest list, and find your officiant
8 months - Book and put deposits on those hired to help make your day that much more special, make the final decision on your dress, and maintain your current physique
6 months - Make the honeymoon plans, place an order for your wedding rings and invitations, schedule meetings with vendors, and begin registering for gifts
4 months - Make final decisions on bridesmaids dresses and purchase them, schedule time/place for rehearsal dinner, make last minute changes to guest list, and finalize groomsmen attire
2 months - practice your hair and makeup, check information for marriage license, run through all the details for the ceremony, and send our the wedding invitations
6 weeks - Proof your vows and make final draft, send the newspapers your wedding announcement, and make copies of the program
2 weeks - Complete last minute details like getting your marriage license, last dress fitting, sending our play list to the DJ or band, and making speeches for the reception
1 week - Pack a separate bag for the honeymoon, wear your shoes around to avoid blisters on your big day, make plans to pick-up your dress, and touch base with vendors for final confirmation
The Day before - Have the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner scheduled, and get a manicure and pedicure (do not wax earlier than 4 days before an event!)
The Day of - check all honeymoon details, eat lightly throughout the day, and have a fantastic time!
