To ease it all up and make the transition from a bachelor to happily married smooth, we are here with the top 25 things that brides should do in the week before their wedding!
- Dress check: This has to top the list. The first thing you need to do in the week before is to try your wedding outfit. You don’t want to be busy with a wedding dress emergency on your wedding day!
2. Footwear: You’ll be on your feet throughout the ceremony, except for the time when you sit down to eat. So, they have to be extremely comfortable. Check for any discomfort and rectify it immediately.
3. Legal formalities: Pick your marriage license before-hand. Don’t wait for the last moment because you won’t know how things turn out in the end. Also, before applying, be sure to check marriage laws binding in your state!
4. Bye-bye office works: Your wedding day is your day. And, all the festivities will commence a week before. So wrap up all that needs to be done, meet deadlines and shove your official work under the rugs.
5. Get the RSVPs: Your big day is approaching at a speed faster than lightning and your guests haven’t even RSVP’s yet! Keep yourself on the safe side and get the final count.
6. Follow-up with vendors: Check with your vendors and give them the schedule of your wedding day. Make sure that they know it will deliver your wedding cake and the like on time.
7. After wedding plans: Once you’re done with the extravagant-and-yet-so-modest day, where will you head out to? Sit with your partner so that you both know the roads you are on and accordingly settle on one getaway.
8. Final guest list: Don’t keep your venue contractor waiting till the last day. Check with your guests to make sure they had received the peacock wedding invitations and submit the final list so that appropriate arrangements can be made on time.
9. Who sits where: Yes, the seating! Carefully plan out who will sit where to avoid making two divergent guests together!
10. Emergency kit: Save yourself from the uncertainty and pack some life-saving belongings that can come in handy if there’s a glitch with your dress or you need a quick touch-up for make-up.
11. Honeymoon packing: No matter after how many days you leave for your honeymoon, it’s always better to be one step ahead. Moreover, the house of a newlywed is swarmed with guests. So, avoid last-minute rush and pack your bags now.
12. A good night’s sleep: During the wedding excitement, don’t forget to catch up on your sleep. The days of your wedding will be hectic and a good night’s sleep will provide energy back up.
13. Check the decor: Visit the venue a day before to check if everything is in place. If there’s something missing, notify the wedding planner to make suitable arrangements!
14. Gifts for ‘your’ people: Make sure you have the wedding gifts you’ll be giving to the bridesmaids and groomsmen. Tag them with their names to keep them sorted.
15. Assign important duties: Assign individual duties trusted family members or friends. Each of them can decide who gives the toast, who handles your social media, who’s in touch with the guests, etc.
16. A quick rehearsal: This is important and you should not miss a quick run-through as long as you are sorted about what follows what on your big day.

22. Girls’ day out: Once the wedding euphoria tones down get together and spend the day with each other. It might be years before you meet after the wedding.
23. Weather updates: Keep an eye on the dwindling weather conditions. Modify your schedule accordingly. Install an app on your phone to keep yourself updated.
