What to do When...
            Wedding Planning Calendar

   Six Weeks to Two Months 
                               Before Your Wedding
 

        Mail the invitations (six weeks is customary, eight is becoming increasingly common). 

        It is not uncommon for guests to mail their response card without writing their name. To identify guests if this happens, assign each guest a number. Write this number very small on the back of their response card before you put it in with the invitation. An incomplete response card now be matched to a guest.

Use software, index card or a spreadsheet system to track interactions with each guest: responses, thank yous, reception selections, etc.

Order wedding programs and reception accessories such as napkins, cake boxes, etc.

Make final menu decisions.

Set rehearsal time and verify with all participants.

Have first wedding dress fitting.

Schedule to have formal bridal portrait taken two to four weeks before wedding. Make sure wedding dress and shoes will be ready.

Make sure members of the wedding party have their fitting.

Make an appointment with your hairdresser to practice your wedding day hair style. Bring headpiece. Have a make up consultation at the same time. Schedule hair and make up appointments for yourself and bridal party on the wedding day. Schedule a manicure for the day before the wedding.

Give photographer a list of all pictures you would like taken, including pictures you may want of the tent, flowers, cake, etc.

Give videographer list of all shots you would like included in the video.

Purchase gift for fiancé, if gifts are being exchanged.

Choose thank you gifts for parents and any others who have helped with the wedding.
