Every event comes with a hitch, even the most well organized. And weddings especially can be stressful, regardless of the involvement of a planner. Because of this, it’s not enough to make a mental note of your to-do list; you need to write out a checklist of all of the things you need to do, significant and insignificant. This keeps you organized and helps you to stay on top of things.
To help you get started, we’ve compiled a list of 15 things you must have on your wedding checklist.
- Set your budget
- Decide on the dates and book your church, registry and/or other relevant venues
- Book your officiant
- Start shopping for your dress, shoes, underwear and other accessories
