Wedding Checklist: 6-9 Months Before The Wedding Day

Wedding Planning

6-9 Months Before The Wedding Day

	Discuss menu plan with caterer.
	Decide on wedding day transportation.
	Book musicians or DJ service.
	Purchase wedding bands and engrave a special saying.
	Complete your bridal registry.
	Attend pre-marriage courses, if applicable.
	Take mothers to go shopping for gowns.
	Purchase accessories, shoes, and undergarments for first fitting.
	Ask friends to be key players. Key players are trustworthy pals you can rely on for crucial tasks. The key players are not part of the immediate wedding party since they will be mostly involved in photo shoots.
	Fine tune guest list.
	Compile addresses of guests. Mail save-the-date cards to out-of-town guests.
	Search for wedding favours.

Wedding Wisdom... Continue open communication with photographer, videographer, florist, and all other services. Think about the design of the invitations. Think about the wording in the invitations. Think about a song for your first dance and any other special songs you'd like to hear on your wedding day. Will you need to book a hotel for after the reception? Will the rings need to be insured? Begin compiling a list of duties for key players. Remember to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Try to do something wedding-related 30 minutes a day. As your wedding date nears and more tasks accumulate, commit to use those stress-buster techniques you and your fiancé agreed on! Whisper something special in your fiancé's ear when he least expects it.
