Send at the Right Time
Mail your invitations 6–8 weeks before the big day (or 10–12 weeks for destination weddings). Save-the-dates should go out 6–12 months in advance.

Triple-Check the Details
Double-check spelling, addresses, times, and RSVP info before printing. A fresh set of eyes can catch easy-to-miss errors!

Include What Guests Need to Know
Add your wedding website, RSVP instructions, dress code, and accommodation info so guests feel fully prepared

Start Early
Begin shopping or booking rentals 4–5 months before the wedding to allow time for fittings, shipping, and any necessary adjustments.

Coordinate with the Wedding Style
Match the formality, colors, and overall vibe of the wedding—think season, venue, and bridal party outfits for inspiration.

Consider Comfort & Fit
Whether renting or buying, proper tailoring makes all the difference. A well-fitted suit or tux looks sharp and feels better all day long

Timing
Give yourselves at least 2–3 months before the wedding to browse, try on styles, and allow time for sizing or custom designs.

Match Your Lifestyle
Choose a ring that fits your daily routine—durable materials like platinum or tungsten are great for active hands, while gold offers timeless style.

Coordinate—but Don’t Stress Matching
Your bands can complement each other without being identical. Focus on what each of you loves—you’ll be wearing them every day!

Set a Budget
Wedding bands come in a wide range of prices. Set a budget beforehand so you can narrow down choices without surprises.

Think Long-Term
Trends come and go—choose a style you’ll still love 30 years from now. Classic doesn’t mean boring!

Start Early to Get the Best Options
Book flights and hotels at least 4–6 months in advance—especially for popular destinations or travel during peak seasons.

Set a Realistic Budget
Factor in flights, lodging, meals, transportation, activities, tips, and travel insurance. A clear budget helps you prioritize what matters most.

Consider Your Travel Style
Are you dreaming of adventure, relaxation, food, culture—or a mix? Pick a destination that suits both of your personalities and energy levels after the wedding.

Use a Travel Agent or Honeymoon Specialist (Optional but Helpful)
They can help score deals, suggest hidden gems, and handle logistics so you can just focus on each other.

Don’t Over-Schedule
Leave plenty of downtime. You’ll be coming off the excitement of the wedding—give yourselves space to unwind, sleep in, and enjoy spontaneous moments.

Bring Inspiration & Photos
Share pictures of styles and looks you love (and don’t love) to guide your artist and help them understand your vision.

Wear a Top That’s Easy to Remove
Choose something that won’t mess up your hair or makeup when you change—like a button-down or zip-up shirt.

Test It Out in Natural Light
Check how your hair and makeup look in daylight, and wear it for a few hours to see how it holds up and feels.

A wedding shower is a special time to gather your closest friends and family to celebrate the upcoming big day. It’s a joyful occasion filled with love, laughter, and thoughtful gifts to help you start your new life together.

Choose a Comfortable Venue
Whether it’s someone’s home, a favorite restaurant, or a cozy event space, pick a location that feels warm and welcoming.

Keep the Guest List in Mind
Typically, invite close friends and family who will also be attending the wedding to keep the celebration meaningful and manageable.

Pick a Theme or Style
From casual brunches to elegant tea parties, a theme helps tie decorations, food, and activities together for a cohesive and fun event.

Include Personal Touches
Add special touches like games, heartfelt toasts, or a keepsake guestbook to make the shower memorable for the guest of honor.
