The week of your wedding can be a hectic time. It may seem like there are a million things to take care of before you finally get to say “I do”, but here’s a checklist to make sure your final days as a single lady go as smoothly as possible:
Early in the Week
1. Pack your honeymoon bags and double check all of your travel arrangements.
2. Have your maid of honor call anyone who hasn’t RSVP’d and ask if they’re coming.
3. Confirm with your limo or transportation company—give them a schedule and accurate addresses.

4. Contact your caterers and give them a final head count.
(It’s probably a good idea to ask if they make any “extra” meals in case any of your “I don’t knows” turn into unexpected shows.
5. Finalize all payment arrangements with your DJ, photographer, limo, etc. and then meet up with your MOH (or have your guy talk to his best man).
6. Hand over the checks, and give detailed instructions as to who to give them to on the wedding night.
7. Make sure you have picked up your marriage license.
8. Double check all of the details for the rehearsal dinner.
9. Do any last minute shopping for your honeymoon or wedding day kit.

The end of the week
10. Enjoy your hair and nail appointments!
11. Put together your wedding day survival kit.
12. Make sure your thank you speeches and notes are written down.
It may seem like you don’t have any time to do anything other than organize and plan, but it’s essential that you take some time out towards the end of the week to do something nice for yourself. Go to the gym, catch a movie, take a walk… anything that lets you decompress and clear your mind.
