The week before your wedding should be about enjoying the excitement, not scrambling to figure out what still needs to be done.<\/p>\n
By this point, the major decisions should already be made. What\u2019s left is confirming the details, communicating with your vendors, and making sure everyone knows what needs to happen and when.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a simple checklist to help you head into your wedding day feeling prepared and confident.<\/p>\n
Your final guest count affects more than just the seating chart.<\/p>\n
Your caterer, venue, rental company, d\u00e9cor team, and other vendors may all need an accurate number to finalize their preparations. Make sure your RSVP list is up to date and communicate the final number to everyone who needs it.<\/p>\n

Give your vendors enough time to make adjustments.<\/p>\n One week out is the perfect time for a final vendor check-in.<\/p>\n Confirm:<\/p>\n Having everyone working from the same timeline can prevent unnecessary confusion on the wedding day.<\/p>\n Your floor plan should be more than an idea at this point – it should be finalized.<\/p>\n Make sure you know where the tables, chairs, bar, dance floor, stage, entertainment, and d\u00e9cor elements will go.<\/p>\n A clear floor plan also helps your setup team work efficiently once they arrive at the venue.<\/p>\n This is the time to make sure the finished look matches what you envisioned.<\/p>\n Double-check your:<\/p>\n Small details can make a big difference, especially when they all come together in the final space.<\/p>\n Planning an outdoor wedding in The Bahamas?
