More important than future grocery lists and, probably,
the first list you’ll ever need to do. Once you think you’ve
settled everything – venue, caterer, attire, and more – it’s
still NEVER done, not until the wedding has come to an end.
So, to make sure you don’t forget the essentials as the day
approaches, we’ve made a list of reminders especially for you,
the Groom. Be sure to relay the list to the people concerned
as well (groomsmen, coordinators, suppliers).
what else to do a few
weeks before
Date and Venue. And probably, be ready
with a map. For suppliers especially, if
they’re not familiar with the venue, make sure
they make an ocular visit to avoid getting lost
on the day itself.
Haircut. Don’t do it just a day ahead; your
best bet is two weeks ahead and you’ll look
like you just have naturally well-maintained
hair, not like you just had a haircut.
Gifts for groomsmen. You’d naturally put
this one last, or not at all. But it’s nice to have
a token for your helpful buddies, so, maybe
now you have time to shop.
Exercise. And, no, this is not an effort to
magically get last-minute abs, it’s a natural
de-stresser. Run, walk, jog.
Transportation. How are you going to the
church. Be sure family members who are
with you also have their transportation ready.
Finalize business or work-related duties.
You don’t want the boss calling on the day.
Documents, license, seminar. If you’re not
done yet, set requirements as priority.
