Plan a Wedding in Three Months

Develop a final three months countdown so that nothing is left to chance. The plan for these last three months needs to be tailored to your own, this is tips to plan a wedding in three months

3 months to go:

• Finalize the vows; choose them and write if doing so
• Buy or make wedding accessories, such as the ring bearer pillow, toasting glasses, favors, unity candle, guestbook, flower baskets, etc.
• Book hair, nail and makeup appointments
• Prepare the ceremony program but be prepared for last minute revisions
• Plan the seating arrangements for the reception; again, plan for last minute revisions.

2 months to go:

• Mail the invitations
• Schedule a wedding dress fitting, it might be your first or one of several
• Apply for the marriage license (this may vary depending on your location, check local laws)
• Attend showers, if any
• Buy or make gifts for members of the bridal party

1 month to go:

• Finalize all plans for the wedding ceremony
• Check that all bookings for hotels, transportation, venues, guest arrangements, etc. are as they should be
• Pick up the wedding rings if you haven't already done so

3 weeks to go:

• Write up the place seating cards
• Continue with any fittings

1 week to go:

• Keep everything in one place, covered and away from pets, kids and nosy people
