Having a wedding is no easy feat. There are so many details that go into wedding planning, it’s no wonder things get forgotten! Make a note in your phone and start a list of random details you need to remember to do! Share the note with your partner so you can both add to it.

Important Wedding Details to Check When Planning Your Big Day

1. Check what time the sun will set

Ignore this one if you aren’t planning on taking Golden Hour photos! Make a note of what time the sun is setting so you aren’t in the middle of doing something else. Tell your photographer and anyone you want golden hour photos with what time you need to meet up!

2. Budget for gratuity

Don’t overlook gratuity when planning your wedding budget! Try Googling the average amount to tip, or ask around to see what percentage your friends and family tipped their vendors. If you feel certain vendors went above and beyond your expectations, don’t be afraid to up that tip a little bit to show your gratitude!

People will not usually sit next to each other if they don’t have to. Many groups will leave a space in between them and the person closest to them, so keep that in mind and plan for extra seating at your ceremony!

4. Ask guests about food allergies and dietary restrictions

Make a note of all of your guests with a food allergy or who are vegan or vegetarian! Write up a list of which guests have these restrictions and where they are sitting, and give it to your caterer!

5. Make a “don’t play” list to give to your DJ

If there is a certain genre or artists you or your partner are not into at all, take preventative measures to make sure that music doesn’t get played!
