Time Line Tuesday Part 2

Happy Tuesday!  Welcome to our second installment of "Time line Tuesday".  Please check out the first post, a time line for 10-12 months prior to the wedding, here.

By this time, you probably have the big things booked (venue, photographer, planner, etc.).  It's a great time to brainstorm decor and think about any projects you want to complete before its time to book rentals and decor in the next couple of months.

6-8 months before the wedding:

□       Finalize your guest list.

□       Begin researching honeymoon locations.

□       Obtain or update passports if you’ll be travelling out of the country.  Inquire about vaccination requirements.

□       Decide on wedding stationery and order invitations, announcements, thank-you cards, and place cards and favour tags if you will be using them.

□       Select the bridesmaids’ dresses, shoes and accessories.

□       Provide your bridesmaids and the parents of your child attendants with information to order attire and arrange for fittings.

□       The groom should begin researching formalwear styles for himself and his groomsmen.

□       Begin looking at cake ideas and meeting with bakers.  Set up tasting appointments.

□       Work over your menu with your caterer and finalize the menu.

□       Plan beverage and alcohol needs with the caterer.  If they are not handling alcohol, arrange for an outside vendor to provide.

□       Begin researching wedding day transportation.

□       Finalize reservations on rentals.

□       Let your attendants know which special responsibilities they will have.

□       Check requirements for a marriage license.
