Imagine that the big day has come. You’re getting ready, all smiling, happy, yet a bit nervous, and then it hits you. You forgot the flower arrangements. Or the photographers. Or something else, a bit more subtle, yet also quite important to you.

There is absolutely no doubt that something like that is sure to put a damp on your mood. No matter how hard you try, you probably won’t be able to forget about the thing you failed to do, and you will spend your entire day thinking about it, or remembering it at random moments, instead of having fun. This sounds like something that you absolutely don’t want to happen to you, am I right?

I probably know the answer to that question already, because nobody would really want this to happen to them. Well, to prevent something like this from happening, it would be best for you to create a wedding planning checklist, and thus really make the day perfect, not forgetting anything important along the way. What we are going to do right now, thus, is share a checklist that could be of help, in an effort to remind you of the things you have to do in order to actually make that day perfect. So, without any more ado, let us get started.

Booking the Venue, the Photographers and the Music

Let us start with the big things. There is no wedding without a venue, without the right music, and without a good photographer. And, booking those in advance is important, because there are often large waiting periods, depending on the venue, the type of music and the photographer you want. I am sure you won’t forget to do this, though, so this should only serve as a reminder for you to do it in advance, instead of waiting and thinking that you have time.

Arrange for Photo Sharing

Okay, now onto a bit more specific, and more unique things. Sure, you’ll have a photographer, but here is something else that should make it on your checklist for wedding planning, as it can make the entire day more unique, more fun, and more enjoyable. In short, I am talking about arranging for photo sharing.

To put it simply, this means that you should find a platform that will allow all your guests to share the photos they are taking throughout the day, all in one and the same platform. You just find a platform, create a QR code, provide people with the access they need, and let the fun begin. This is sure to be useful to you, as you’ll wind up with a lot of photos that you wouldn’t otherwise have, pics of spontaneous and candid moments, while the guests will also have fun and feel included into the entire day, being able to share the pics they are taking.

Getting Your Attire Ready

Now, here is another thing that you should do in advance, instead of waiting for far too long. To cut to the chase, I am talking about getting your attire ready. Your wedding dress, your suit, whatever it is that you are wearing… Go shopping, choose the attire, and then arrange for any kinds of changes that may need to be made. Of course, don’t forget the accessories, since you don’t want to worry about those on the actual wedding day.

Arrange for Transportation If Necessary

Here is something that a lot of couples usually postpone, thinking, once again, that they have enough time. And, while you do have enough time to arrange for transportation if necessary, both for you and for some of your guests, the truth is that postponing often leads to forgetting, and you definitely don’t want to forge this. So, do it on time. Click this to get another useful checklist.

Write Your Vows

Believe it or not, one of the things that couples often forget to do is, well, to write their vows. It is no wonder, given that they have to think about so many other things, trying to make sure that everyone will have a good time at the reception, and trying to ensure that everything is going to run smoothly. My advice, thus, is to add this to your checklist and don’t postpone it. Don’t wait until the day before, because you’ll be extremely stressed out and you may not be able to give it your maximum.
