Two months before the wedding is a crucial time to make sure all the necessary tasks are completed. Here is a detailed list of what should be done during this time:
1. Mail out your invitations: Make sure to send out your wedding invitations at least two months before the big day. This will give your guests enough time to RSVP and make any necessary arrangements to attend.
2. Submit a newspaper wedding announcement: If you would like to share your joy with the community, consider submitting a wedding announcement to your local newspaper. Include details such as your names, wedding date, and a brief description of the upcoming celebration.
3. Enjoy bachelor/bachelorette parties: Take some time to relax and celebrate with your friends before the wedding. Plan and enjoy your respective bachelor and bachelorette parties, creating lasting memories with your closest friends.
4. Write your vows: Personalize your wedding ceremony by writing your own vows. Take this time to reflect on your relationship and express your love and commitment to each other. Practice reading them aloud to ensure they flow smoothly and convey your emotions effectively.
5. Send out thank you cards for shower gifts: If you had bridal showers or received gifts in advance, it’s important to show your gratitude. Take the time to write heartfelt thank you cards and send them out to express your appreciation for their thoughtfulness.
6. Purchase gifts for parents, attendants, and each other: Show your appreciation for your parents and wedding party by selecting meaningful gifts. Consider personalized items or experiences that will make them feel special. Additionally, you and your partner may want to exchange gifts as a token of your love and appreciation.
7. Finalize wedding day details: Two months before the wedding is the ideal time to solidify all the details for your big day. Confirm arrangements with vendors, finalize the ceremony and reception timelines, and ensure all necessary permits and licenses are obtained. This will help alleviate any last-minute stress and allow for a smoother wedding day.
8. Schedule hair and makeup trials: Book appointments for hair and makeup trials to ensure you achieve the look you desire on your wedding day. Bring inspiration photos and communicate your preferences to the stylists to ensure they understand your vision.
9. Plan the rehearsal dinner: Work with your partner and families to plan the rehearsal dinner. Choose a venue, select a menu, and send out invitations to your immediate families, wedding party, and any out-of-town guests who will be attending the rehearsal.
10. Finalize honeymoon plans: If you haven’t already, finalize your honeymoon plans. Book flights, accommodations, and any activities or excursions you wish to enjoy together. Don’t forget to check passport expiration dates and make any necessary arrangements for travel documents.
Remember, this is just a comprehensive list to guide you in your wedding planning journey. Adjustments may be needed based on your specific circumstances and preferences. Stay organized, communicate with your partner, and enjoy the excitement leading up to your special day.
