Wedding-Day Checklist

To-dos to be certain you’re on top of everything!

Ensure receipt
When your vendors collect your final payments, have each of them sign a note indicating they’ve
received it, if anyone claims he wasn’t paid, you will have proof that they were.

Create tip envelopes
If you plan on tipping anyone, such as your catering manager, venue manager, waiting or bar staff or DJ, prepare envelopes with their names and insert the correct amounts. Sealed envelopes are the best and safest option.

Drop your luggage off early
If you’ll be staying overnight at a hotel after the wedding, or plan on getting ready in your venue bridal room, have a friend or family member drop these off at the venue the morning of the wedding.
