A checklist for two weeks before the wedding
It's interesting:"For those of you who are attending their first Jewish wedding, there may be some customs you're unfamiliar with. Like when Paul stepped on the glass at the end ..."
Wedding planning involves simultaneously coordinating many wedding pieces. Checklists help couples keep track of important wedding details. Keep several copies of the wedding checklist nearby at all times. Include copies in your purse, wallet and car. Create a virtual wedding checklist on your cell phone, to ensure your wedding details are covered.
Venue, Entertainment and Food
Contact the wedding and reception venue two-weeks in advance for a pre-wedding walk-through. Walk the room several times, noting any potential problems or safety hazards. If children attend the wedding or reception, cover electrical sockets with childproof protectors. Ask the DJ or live band to participate in the walk-through. Finalize where your entertainment will setup during the wedding or reception. Call your caterer and bakery to confirm menu selections and the cake details.
Lodging and Transportation
Contact the local hotel reserved for out-of-town guests to confirm your room reservations. Call the limousine company to verify wedding transportation from the ceremony to the reception and the reception to the airport or hotel. Confirm personal transportation for guests from the train station or airport to the hotel for out-of-town guests.
Legalities
Call the courthouse for a list of necessary documents for your marriage license. Gather documents and secure the marriage license at least two weeks before your wedding day. Some states require blood tests before purchasing a wedding license. If applicable, arrange for blood tests at least two months before your wedding day.
Wedding Officiant
Contact the wedding officiant for a pre-wedding meeting. Discuss your vows, ceremony timeline and the rehearsal details. The ceremony timeline should include time for readings and musical performances, if applicable. Confirm the wedding officiant fee.
Invitations
Send out the announcements or invitations to members of the wedding party for your rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Double-check the address, time and contact information, before sending. Add several RSVP numbers, including your home phone number and cell phone number.
Honeymoon
Visit the human resources department at work to verify vacation dates. Contact the travel company or airline to confirm travel itinerary. Verify the hotel accommodations for the honeymoon. Give a friend a copy of your house key, so that she can deliver wedding presents after the reception.
Personal Preparation
Contact the salon for your wedding day appointments. Attend your final wedding gown fitting and purchase items for the wedding survival kit. Make an appointment for a massage the morning of the wedding. Wear your wedding shoes around the house, to break in the shoes before your wedding day.
