Congratulations, your big day is just around the corner! Three months out from your wedding at Timber Valley Farm & Barn is the sweet spot for handling some of the most important details. This is when all that hard work starts to really come together, and you can focus on the final touches that will make your day unforgettable.
Guest Management & Communication
- Send Wedding Invitations: Your invites should include everything your guests need to know. Besides the date, time, and location, be sure to include a way for them to RSVP, a link to your wedding website, and any important details about parking or transportation at Timber Valley Farm Barn Rental.
- Track RSVPs: Create a system to keep track of who has responded. This is essential for your next steps. Don’t be afraid to follow up with guests who haven’t replied by the deadline.
- Finalize Guest Count: With your RSVP list in hand, you can confirm the final number of guests with your caterer. This is a crucial step for food and beverage planning.
- Plan Seating Arrangements: Now’s the time to create a seating chart for the reception. Think about who would enjoy sitting together to make sure everyone feels comfortable and has a great time.
- Prepare Welcome Bags (optional): A small welcome bag is a thoughtful way to greet out-of-town guests and make them feel at home.
Wedding Details & Logistics
- Finalize Ceremony Details: Meet with your officiant to confirm all the key elements of your ceremony, including readings, your vows, and the music you’ve chosen.
- Confirm Reception Details: Finalize the menu with your caterer, decide on the first dance song, and make a plan for special moments like the cake cutting.
- Meet with Karen or Tom at Timber Valley: As your wedding date approaches, schedule a final meeting with your venue hosts. They’ll help you finalize your timeline, logistics, and any specific requirements for your wedding day.
- Confirm Vendor Arrival Times: Create a detailed schedule for when each of your vendors will arrive at the venue. This ensures everyone is on the same page and helps your day run smoothly.
- Arrange Final Vendor Payments: Take a moment to review your vendor contracts and note the due dates for all final payments. Setting up reminders can help you stay on track.
- Confirm Transportation: Make sure you’ve double-checked all transportation plans for you, your wedding party, and any guest shuttle services.
Beauty & Attire
- Final Dress Fitting: Your wedding dress should feel perfect. Attend your final fitting and make sure any last-minute alterations are made.
- Confirm Hair & Makeup Appointments: Schedule any final trials and confirm the timing for your wedding day hair and makeup.
- Purchase Wedding Bands: Pick out and purchase your wedding bands to ensure they fit properly and are ready for the ceremony.
- Pack for Your Honeymoon: It’s never too early to start gathering the essentials for your post-wedding getaway.
Other Important Tasks
- Apply for Your Marriage License: This is a key step! Make sure you have your marriage license in time for the ceremony.
- Purchase Wedding Party Gifts: Get gifts for your wedding party to thank them for their support.
- Write Thank-You Notes: As you receive gifts, make it a habit to write and send thank-you notes.
- Confirm Honeymoon Reservations: Double-check all of your honeymoon travel plans, including flights, hotels, and activities.
- Create a Wedding Day Emergency Kit: Put together a small kit with items like pain relievers, bandages, and a small sewing kit. This can be a lifesaver for unexpected mishaps.
Tips for Success
- Stay Organized: Use a checklist, app, or planner to manage all of the details.
- Communicate: Keep in touch with your vendors and your partner so everyone knows the plan.
- Delegate: You don’t have to do everything yourself. Ask your partner, family, or friends for help.
- Take a Break: Wedding planning can be stressful, so remember to take time for yourself and relax.
Three months out is a busy but exciting time. The finish line is in sight! Enjoy the final stages of planning and look forward to your special day here at Timber Valley.
