What should I do 2 weeks before my wedding?

Two weeks before the wedding is the time to turn plans into actions. Contact your venue and caterer with final guest numbers and any dietary needs. Check that every supplier knows the date, time and location, and confirm their arrival windows. If you are having a civil ceremony, check with the registrar that your notice and paperwork are in order. For a religious ceremony, confirm any remaining details with your place of worship.

Start packing a wedding day bag with items you might need: a small sewing kit, safety pins, plasters, tissues, mints, a phone charger and any medication. Add a copy of your vows and readings so nothing is left behind. If you have not already, assign someone to look after the bag on the day.

Take time to write thank you cards for anyone who has helped you plan, and prepare any gifts for your bridal party or family. If you are using a wedding website, send a reminder to guests about timings and directions. Finally, book your final hair and beauty appointments, and arrange a quiet evening with your partner to talk through the schedule for the day.
