You’re here. After months (maybe years!) of planning, Pinteresting, budgeting, and dreaming – it’s go time. The final few weeks are all about the last-minute tweaks, deep breaths, and making space to enjoy the lead-up to your day. The goal? Less stress, more mindful magic touches.
Confirm your final headcount
- Share the official guest list with your caterer, venue, and planner.
- Finalize seating chart and submit to whoever is printing signage or escort cards.
Final venue walk-through
- Walk-through the venue with your planner or day-of coordinator.
- Confirm layout, tables, signage, and backup plans for weather.
Final fittings & glam trial
- Go to your final dress or suit fitting and make sure it’s steamed and ready.
- Do one last hair/makeup trial if you haven’t already.
Prep day-of details
- Create a day-of emergency kit (if you haven’t already).
- Pack your overnight bag and wedding day bag: shoes, perfume, accessories, vow book.
- Label and pack all your day-of decor and signage.
Confirm and tip vendors
- Email final confirmations to all vendors.
- Prep tips and thank-you notes in labeled envelopes for someone to hand out.
Self-care mode: on
- Get a massage, facial, or just unplug for an evening.
- Sleep. Hydrate. And take time to feel it all.
Sprinkle-In Extras:
- Write your partner a wedding morning letter.
- Create a little playlist for getting ready with your crew.
- Assign someone to gather personal items at the end of the night (guest book, gifts, signage).
What couples often skip At This Stage (but shouldn’t):
- Not double-confirming exact delivery/setup times with vendors.
- Forgetting to bring a copy of the marriage license (!)
- Overloading the day before with errands – try to keep it light and intentional.
Next up: 1 Week To Go – when the to-dos turn into glow-ups, packing lists, and peaceful vibes only.
