Wedding checklist: 2 weeks before

Two weeks out, confirm everything with everyone. Every vendor should know the time, the place and what's still owed, the paper goods get printed, and the jobs you won't have time for on the day go to people you trust.

The 7 tasks for 2 weeks before

  1. Confirm vendor details & payments

    Call or email each vendor to confirm times, places and what's still owed.

  2. Print programs, menus, place cards

    Print the paper goods once the seating chart is close to final.

  3. Prepare tip envelopes

    Fill and label an envelope for each vendor you plan to tip.

  4. Pack for honeymoon

    Pack now, so it isn't one more job in the last few days.

  5. Practice ceremony

    Walk through the ceremony, especially the vows, out loud.

  6. Delegate wedding-day tasks

    Hand each job you won't have time for to a named person.

  7. Confirm deliveries & pick-ups

    Confirm what arrives when, and who collects what afterwards.

These are the tasks in the “2 weeks before” group of the free wedding checklist. Put in your wedding date there and each one gets its own due date, with anything already late marked overdue.

What should already be done

This stage leans on these. If one is still open, do it first.

And the rest of the earlier groups: 12+ months before, 10-11 months before, 8-9 months before, 6-7 months before, 4-5 months before, 3 months before, 2 months before, 1 month before. Anything left over can still be caught up.

Questions

What should I do 2 weeks before the wedding?
The checklist has 7 tasks for this stage: confirm vendor details & payments, print programs, menus, place cards, prepare tip envelopes, pack for honeymoon, practice ceremony, delegate wedding-day tasks and confirm deliveries & pick-ups.
What should already be done by 2 weeks out?
The tasks this stage depends on: choose rental items, confirm officiant & script, create seating chart draft, confirm menu with caterer, finalize guest count, send headcount to vendors, create day-of timeline and confirm honeymoon details. Anything else left from earlier groups can still be caught up.
How much should we tip wedding vendors?
It varies by vendor and region, and some contracts already include a service charge. Prepare the envelopes two weeks out so nobody hunts for cash on the day. Our tipping guide has typical amounts.
