GET EXCITED the week before

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN 1-3 months before

• Organise transfers for yourselves and your guests .
• Update and confirm your budget , order of events , and RSVPs with your resort or coordinator .
• Confirm all details with your guests via your wedding website or email / phone .
• Test run . Trial everything you can : spray tan , shoes , dress , makeup …
• Write your vows then save to your phone and print out .

GET EXCITED the week before

• Soak it up . If possible , take a few days off in this week to take care of any last-minute details and enjoy the anticipation .
• Oh goodie ! Prepare welcome bags for your guests ’ hotel rooms which include a couple of fun items as well as practical info such as start times , maps , and directions .
• Finalise the seating chart , travel documents , and any last-minute payments .
• Pick up and pack your gown , suit , and honeymoon wardrobe .
• Have rings professionally cleaned .
What not to do : As with any wedding , the week before is NOT the time to experiment with new skin treatments , do something drastic with your hair , or start making any changes that could potentially stress you out .
