Four weeks Prior To Your Wedding Day

One month to go – and you’re now heading into the home straight! All your planning has begun to come together. Now, we need to stay focused to bring it all home!

This week, the focus is on:

• Confirming guests
• Preparing a thank you email
• Seating plan
• Sorting out the day after
• Finalising your ceremony
• What to wear in memory
• Gifts for attendants

Follow Up Guests

Follow up guests who have not replied to your invitations and confirm if they are coming to your wedding or not.

Prepare Emails

Prepare emails to thank guests for attending your wedding – and possibly giving you gifts.

Seating Plans

If you’re having a sit-down party after the ceremony, write down a seating plan, if that’s your thing. Alternatively, just let people sit where they wish; or consider having a stand up party where people move around, eat, drink and get to know each other.

After Wedding Celebrations

If you’re going to carry on the celebrations the day after your wedding with perhaps a brunch or BBQ or picnic, let people know where it will be, and when, as well as whether you want them to bring anything.

Final Changes

Check your ceremony – are there any final bits you wish to change? Let me, your celebrant, know.

Memories

Create memories. There may be people who have died who, you’d like to remember in a special way on your wedding day. For example, you could wear (or have somewhere on your body) your mum’s wedding ring or engagement ring; or your dad’s watch; or a particular piece of jewellery that has some meaning to you and brings back special memories of them.

Small Gifts

Are you having attendants? If so, is there some small gift you wish to give them for then to remember your day? Perhaps you want to wait until you see a perfect photo that captures you and them on your wedding day? Gift it up in a nice frame.
