The next installment of our Cleveland wedding guide covers the things you need take care of two months before the big date.
If you’ve been following our Cleveland wedding guide and timeline, then you should be feeling confident that everything will fall into place on your wedding day. But at two months prior, unexpected troubles can arise and other plans can fall through. So it’s good that there aren’t many new things you should do at this point, since you may be dealing with a lot of other issues.
Here’s the Brennan’s Cleveland wedding guide. It lists what you need to take care of just two months before the wedding date.
- Choose your wedding music—Whether you go with a band or a DJ at your reception, there are probably some special songs you want played. Now’s the time when you should iron out your music preferences with your music provider. Also remember that you’ll have to choose the music for the actual wedding ceremony. Look for a thorough Cleveland wedding guide to the most popular wedding music choices.
- Select a location for the rehearsal dinner—You can hold a rehearsal dinner at a home or a banquet hall. You’ll also have to decide if you want a catering company to cook and serve the meal.
- Confirm with the formal wear shop—Make sure that all the measurements for the male members of the wedding party are in. Our Cleveland wedding guide suggests that two months is an adequate window of time for a tailor or formal wear shop to adapt all suits.
- Schedule fitting for the bridesmaids and the flower girl—If done with plenty of time in advance, this can actually be a fun and stress-relieving activity.
- Order address labels with your name and address—This can also be a fun activity. Especially if you’re moving or changing your name.
- Confirm the order with the florist—Sometimes a florist won’t be able to secure the particular flowers for the arrangements you need. Our Cleveland wedding guide suggests that it’s a good idea to check in on them. By now, you should be able to see if they have everything they need or if you’ll have to make any modifications.
