And Yet More To Do Before the Wedding Day

8. Reserve Vendors
Reserve your photographer, caterer, DJ, videographer, flowers, transportation, wedding cake early to ensure you get your first choice in vendors

  • Rent a limo, trolley, horse drawn carriage, or hot-air balloon to make a getaway or grand entrance.

9. Rehearsal and rehearsal dinner
Practice the ceremony - from walking in...to walking out - so that everyone is comfortable with how fast to walk, where to stand, how guests are dismissed, etc.

10. Parties!!!
Bridal showers, engagement party, bachelor and bachelorette parties.

11. Out-of-town guest reservations
  • Call a hotel early to book a block of rooms for you guests.  Be sure to ask about group discounts.
  • Send a note to these out of town guests that includes the hotel information (rates, phone number, reservation deadline).
  • You may also include a map of the city and a list of restaurants and local attractions/events in the area.

12. Invitations

  • We have a huge selection of invitations; and the expertise to ensure that proper etiquette is followed.
  • Mail out of town invitations at least six weeks before the wedding and send in town invitations at least four weeks in advance.

13. Tuxedos
  • Choose your tux about three months before your wedding date.
  • Usually tuxedos are picked up the day before the wedding and returned on the next business day.

14. Decorating the Ceremony and Reception Sites
Delegate - have someone who is not directly involved with the wedding and photo session decorate the ceremony and reception sites; the bride and groom/attendants/family often have too much to do.  Hire someone to setup and cleanup so that you can relax and enjoy the day.  Decorating often takes much longer than you would expect.
