Planning a wedding can be an exciting and busy time, filled with countless details to coordinate and decisions to make. As the big day approaches, there are several important things to focus on to ensure everything goes smoothly. Here are some final things you should do in the weeks leading up to your wedding:

1. Confirm Vendor Details: Reach out to all your wedding vendors to confirm final details such as arrival times, setup requirements, and any last-minute changes. This includes your caterer, photographer, florist, DJ or band, and any other service providers you’ve hired. Double-checking these details can help avoid any misunderstandings on the day of the wedding.

2. Finalize Seating Arrangements: If you’re having assigned seating at your wedding reception, make sure to finalize the seating arrangements. Create and print seating cards or a seating chart to guide your guests to their assigned tables. This ensures a smooth and organized seating process during the reception.

3. Review the Timeline: Go over the timeline for your wedding day with your wedding planner or coordinator. Make sure everyone involved, including the bridal party and immediate family members, knows when and where they need to be throughout the day. This helps to keep things running on schedule and reduces stress on the day of the wedding.

4. Confirm Final Payments: Ensure that all final payments to vendors are made ahead of time or have a plan in place for payment on the wedding day. This includes any outstanding balances or gratuities for services provided. Having this taken care of in advance allows you to focus on enjoying your wedding day without worrying about financial matters.

5. Attend Final Fittings: Attend your final fittings to ensure your wedding gown fits perfectly. This is also a good time to try on your wedding attire with all accessories to make sure you have everything you need for the big day.

6. Practice Self-Care: Take some time for self-care in the weeks leading up to your wedding. Get enough rest, eat healthily, and manage stress through activities like working out, taking a walk outside, or spending time with loved ones. Taking care of yourself ensures you feel your best on your wedding day.

7. Pray for Your Future Marriage: Amidst all the planning and preparations, take a moment to reflect on the significance of your wedding day. Spend time praying together as a couple, asking for blessings on your marriage and seeking guidance for the journey ahead. You may even consider purchasing a devotional or journal for you all to do together once you’re married. Here’s a few we recommend below:
