Important Things to Take Care of a Week Before Your Big Day
Weddings can be the most amazing day of your life but It can also be the most stressful. Planning it all out well in advance is key for a successful wedding. Numerous things can go wrong if you’re not well prepared. The week before your wedding is generally chaotic with many tasks to take care of.
Here are some things to take care of a week before the big day
Make a to-do list: Making a to-do list is one of the most important things you can do to stay on top of things. Making a note of things helps you keep track of pending activities.
Try out your dress: You spent months thinking about the perfect wedding dress and it’s finally coming together. Make sure to try out your wedding dress with all the wedding accessories you have planned to get yourself comfortable before the wedding. Trying it out before and making final adjustments will give you more confidence on your big day.
Hair & make-up: Contact your make-up artist and hairstylist and go over the ideas you envisioned. Give them all the relevant information about timings, location, and other details. Also, ask them for any tips and the do’s and don’ts before the wedding. If you haven’t arranged for them yet here are some of the best hair & makeup artists in goa.
Invitations: Make a list of everyone you want to invite and note to whom invitations have been delivered. You don’t want to have the guilty feeling of forgetting to invite people.
Headcount: If you feel that there are going to be more or fewer people than planned for, give a heads-up to the vendors like the caterer, decorator, and hall so that they can make adjustments accordingly.
Contact the vendors: It’s a good idea to contact the vendors like caterers, venue partners, decorators, etc. Confirm the time, dates, location, designs, delivery terms, ideas, etc. once again to make sure nothing is out of place. There are numerous wedding decorators in Goa that give you plenty of options so that you have a perfectly decorated venue.
Master of ceremonies and the band/DJ: Get in touch and go over how the day is going to go about. Brief the Emcee on the details he/she needs. If you want specific songs for the band/DJ to play, tell them in advance so they are prepared and put on a good show.
Wedding cake: They say that no celebration is complete without cake. A wedding cake plays a significant part in the ceremony. Orders are usually taken weeks/months prior to the ceremony depending on design and baker. Contact your cake vendor and go over the elements once again so that it meets your expectations. Some of the best wedding cake designers in Goa are usually booked weeks in advance so make sure you contact them early.
Groomsmen & Bridesmaids: Make sure everyone has their outfits prepared and go over everyone’s roles and responsibilities. Visualize how you want the day to go about and brief them on the same.
Paint your house: Since many ceremonies take place at the house and a lot of pictures will be taken, remember to paint your house well in advance. Decorative paints are a good option to suit your theme.
Accommodation and other arrangements: If you’re having a destination wedding, it’s a good idea to arrange accommodation for close friends and family to make it less chaotic. Look for hotels near the venue and see if they offer group discounts.
The big day is almost near, relax and enjoy it. We hope this list has helped you organize your wedding.
