There is no better time than NOW to take advantage of having a less busy social schedule and get those wedding tasks checked off the list while you are staying home! Below is a list of wedding planning tasks that can easily be completed from your living room in comfy sweatpants.

Once you’ve locked in your dream team of vendors or (reconfigured your already booked team to a smaller wedding- link to Holly’s blog here), take this time to get ahead on those planning items that tend to be a last-minute scramble closer to the wedding.  You will be well ahead of the curve once your wedding day does roll around and cool as a cucumber knowing you took care of those little tasks when you were stuck at home instead of putting together another jigsaw puzzle!

There are LOTS of behind the scenes tasks that couples tend to forget that can easily be planned right now.  These are listed in no particular order, but awesome things to begin getting knocked out!

  • Seating order for family/VIP’s in first 1-2 rows.  Who sits next to who during the ceremony (especially in a divorce or “interesting” family dynamic situation).
    • Select your specialty songs (there are more than you think!):
      • Processional- family and wedding party
      • Processional- bride and/or groom entrance
      • Any songs during the ceremony during communion, sand ceremony, unity candle, etc.
      • Recessional
      • Grand entrance- just couple or entire wedding party
      • First dance
      • Parent dances
      • Cake cutting background song
      • Last song of the night
    • Create your must play/do not play list for the band/DJ.
    • Put together your family photo shot-list for your photographer.
    • Write your vows if you wish to have custom ones or start writing your ceremony with your officiant.
    • Decide who the designated person is who takes home all gifts/cards/personal décor, etc. at the end of the night.
    • Decide how you are going to give away your centerpieces at the end of the night (whoever wants can take them, donation to nursing home, etc.)
    • Book your hair & makeup trial, food tasting and floral mockup appointments for about 2-months prior to your wedding date.
    • Book your pampering appointments (massage, final haircuts, facial, mani/pedi) and purchase gift cards for those services now to support those small businesses
    • Test out your wine selections and/or signature cocktails.  Throw a party for just the two of you at home to taste test!
    • Talk with your wedding planner about day-of design elements such as table numbers, menus, escort cards/seating chart board, etc. so final ordering and printing can be done easily and quickly.
    • Order any specialty day-of items (guest book, custom gown hanger, specialty champagne flutes, cake knife/server, etc.).  
    • Order any specialty wedding day attire (custom bow ties, wedding day shoes, wedding day jewelry, etc).
    • Order any favors and complete any DIY items.
    • Make your honeymoon plans!  Many airlines and hotels will be offering killer deals soon, so get those plans set for when they do so you can take advantage of them.

Even if the world seems a little crazy right now, you are still getting married and that is something to get excited about for the future!  Your wedding day is going to be one freaking amazing celebration when it gets here, and boy, will you have a crazy story about planning during a pandemic to tell your kids one day! 

Celebrating you, celebrating love, and celebrating #loveinthetimeofcorona

Happy Planning!
