Here is a good timeline for the important stuff: Twelve months before your wedding should be when you announce your engagement, go over budget, start looking at reception sites, and come up with a preliminary guest list. Nine months before you should select your bridal party members, do your gift registry, start shopping for your gown and the bridesmaids' dresses, and choose your photographer, florist and DJ. Six months before you should order invitations, shop for rings, select tuxedos, arrange for hotel rooms for out-of-town guests, and arrange rehearsal dinner. Four months before you should make honeymoon arrangements, get blood tests and physical (if your state requires this), shop for bridal party gifts, order cake (if not included at reception site), confirm order with florist. Six to Eight weeks before you should mail invitations, do a hair and makeup "run through", schedule final dress fittings, set up a system for guest responses and start figuring table seating. Two to four weeks before you should choose all accessories you will be wearing, do seating arrangements for reception, confirm details with caterer, florist, etc., give caterer a final head count, make appointments for message, hair, etc., send engagement photo and announcement to newspaper, prepare lists for bridesmaids, ushers and anyone who will be a part of the ceremony. One week before you should host a bridesmaid luncheon, prepare envelopes with fees and gratuities for clergy, maitre d', DJ, etc., arrange time to drop of favors, etc. to reception site, pack for honeymoon, have manicures, messages, etc. during this week. The day before you should greet and settle any out-of-town guests, arrange for someone trustworthy to take care of license, rings and tip envelopes, arrange beauty touch-ups And don't forget to relax and get some sleep.
