Madelynn's Wedding Time-Line Suggestions
One Month Ahead

	Get your marriage license.  (In some states, you'll have to do this closer to the wedding date.)
	Get any accessories you need to complete your bridal attire; shoes, jewelry, hosiery.  Bring them with you to your final fitting.
	Purchase lingerie if desired.
	Plan you honeymoon wardrobe, and shop for any toiletries or special items you'll need for the trip.
	Determine your luggage needs.
	Have your wedding portrait taken.  (Some brides arrange to have this done at their final fitting.)
	Make arrangements for bridesmaids' party or luncheon; groom or best man should plan the bachelor party.
	Confirm accommodations for out-of-town guests.
	Reconfirm all transportation arrangements.
	Send wedding announcement information and portrait to the newspaper.
	Write thank-you notes as the gifts arrive.
