Your wedding day is almost here—and while the excitement is real, so is the potential for last-minute stress. That’s why having a smart, no-fluff pre-wedding checklist is essential. Think of it as your safety net: the little things that can make or break your day if overlooked.

Thank you for reading this post, I look forward to hearing from you soon!  :-)

The Bride's Pre-Wedding Checklist

Here’s your must-do list to keep things stress-free and bride-ready:

1. Confirm Vendor Details

Call or email each vendor a week before your wedding. Double-check arrival times, contacts, and final payments. Peace of mind starts here.

2. Pack a Bridal Emergency Kit

Safety pins, blotting papers, bobby pins, and stain wipes are lifesavers. Bonus points for packing aspirin and a mini sewing kit.

3. Assign a Point Person

Designate someone you trust (not you!) to handle vendor questions and tiny hiccups. You’ll be too busy soaking in the joy.

4. Break In Your Wedding Shoes

Wear them around the house before the big day. Blisters are not the vibe you want for your first dance.

5. Organize Getting-Ready Outfits

Set aside robes or matching outfits for you and your bridal party so everyone feels photo-ready.

6. Pre-Schedule Meals & Snacks

A hangry bride is never a good idea. Plan light meals and keep snacks handy while you’re getting ready.

7. Final Dress Fitting + Steam

Have your dress steamed and hanging ready to go. Wrinkles won’t wait for anyone.

8. Pack Overnight & Honeymoon Bags

Get your overnight bag ready now—along with essentials for your honeymoon if you’re leaving soon after.

9. Write & Pack Your Vows

Whether handwritten or printed, keep them in your clutch or with your maid of honor.

10. Take a Breath & Sleep Well

The night before your wedding isn’t for last-minute chaos. It’s for calm, gratitude, and sleep.
