Here’s a “14 Days and Counting” checklist for couples in the final stretch before the wedding. This covers all those last-minute must-dos and “oh crap, we forgot that!” moments:

🗓 2 Weeks Out: Finalize & Confirm


    Confirm with all vendors (photographer, florist, DJ, officiant, caterer, etc.)

    Send the final guest count to caterer and venue

    Create a wedding day timeline (and send it to VIPs + vendors)

    Finalize seating chart and table arrangements

    Get your marriage license (check your state’s time frame!)

    Confirm honeymoon bookings and pack early if you're leaving right after

    Have final dress/suit fitting and pick up your attire

    Print ceremony programs, menus, or signs

    Check in with your wedding party (confirm outfits, arrival time, duties)

👟 1 Week Out: Prep & Pack


    Break in wedding shoes around the house

    Pack wedding day emergency kit (safety pins, fashion tape, floss, tissues, Tylenol, deodorant, etc.)

Prepare tips/envelopes for vendors (label and hand off to a trusted person)

Pack your overnight bag or suitcase for the night-of/honeymoon

Wrap any gifts (for each other, parents, wedding party)

Write your vows (if personal)

Get a manicure/pedicure

Confirm transportation (and designate a backup driver just in case)

✨ 3 Days Out: Details & Downtime

     Steam or press outfits

Drop off décor or signage at the venue

Practice your first dance one more time (if you’re doing one)

Delegate day-of tasks to trusted people (don’t try to do everything!)

Charge cameras, phones, or any tech gear

Review the weather and make a rain plan if needed

💍 Night Before & Morning Of


 Have a light rehearsal (especially if you have a wedding party)

Relax and hydrate

Lay out everything you need for the morning (rings, vows, accessories, flat lay items for your photographer)

Eat something!! (yes, even if you're nervous)

Take a few quiet moments alone or with your partner if you're doing a first look
No matter how many to-do lists you check off, the most important thing is to stay present and soak in every moment. Your wedding day isn’t just about perfection—it’s about connection, joy, and starting your next chapter together. So take a deep breath, trust the process, and remember: you’ve got this.
