Today I’m so excited to share with you the first in a series of completely free downloadable to do lists/check lists to assist with your wedding planning.

The first is also the last to do list of your wedding planning but just as important as all the rest: The Last Minute Wedding Preparation Checklist

So, before you download let me explain some of the points in a bit more detail:

ATTIRE

I always suggest you collect suits, dresses, accessories etc as soon as possible and make a point of trying the full outfits on so you have time to fix any errors or make any alterations if needed.

SUPPLIERS

Some suppliers you will book months in advance and have had many email exchanges back and forth so it’s always worth re-confirming everything with them ahead of the big day to ensure all is in order. I offer a Supplier Confirmation Template on my Etsy page that might be worth checking out…

CATERERS/BAR

The last thing you and your new husband/wife to be worrying about on the wedding is paying for drinks. Now you might get bought drinks by your guests but it’s worth setting up a bar tab or having drinks charged to your room, so you don’t have to carry cash or cards.

OVERNIGHT ACCOMMODATION

Some venues offer packages that include a Bridal Suite but if not, you might need to consider if you want to book a room for the wedding night.

TRAVEL

It probably seems like quite a small detail but actually it’s probably quite important that you figure out how you are both getting to the venue and how you’ll go home afterwards.

HONEYMOON

When I say “buy any last minute necessities” I was thinking more…a new bikini, new sunglasses…you know…essentials!

ADMIN

No one wants to think about bad weather, but I always think if you prepare for all eventualities hopefully you won’t need to use any of your back up plans.

CHORES

There’s nothing better than coming back to a clean and tidy house so if you get a chance have a quick blitz of the house.

MISCELLANOUS

Stay tuned for a future download with all the bits and pieces you’ll need for your “Bridal Emergency Kit”

NIGHT PRIOR

The nerves/excitement will probably be starting to kick in the evening before the wedding so why not gather your nearest and dearest (husband/wife to be excluded if your traditional) and have a nice meal and a glass of bubbles to toast your “last night of freedom”.

ERRANDS

You are undoubtedly going to have things to collect and things to drop off, so I’ve given you space to fill this in.

PRACTICE

It might sound silly to practice your kiss, but you probably need to be agreed on if you’re going in for a full on kiss or a peck otherwise that could just be awkward!

WEDDING PARTY

I know that the last few weeks leading up to the wedding can be quite manic but it’s worth trying to make time to see both sets of family.
