Madelynn's Wedding Time-Line Suggestions
Two Months Ahead

	Mail the invitations.
	Schedule the wedding rehearsal and firm up details of any rehearsal party that is planned.
	Order wedding rings and arrange for engraving.
	Shop for gifts for each other and attendants.
	Meet with the florist to decide on flowers.
	Handle financial, insurance and legal details; opening joint bank accounts, writing wills, changing beneficiaries on insurance policies.  If you plan on having a prenuptial agreement, now's the time to draw it up if you'll be changing your name, make arrangements to change social security, bank accounts and credit cards accordingly.
	Reserve equipment such as glasses, tables, tablecloths, chairs or tents if you will need to rent them.
	Review ceremony with the clergyman or judge who'll marry you.  (This is the time to settle on special readings or changes in the standard text.)
	Schedule an appointment for a trial "do" with your hairdresser and makeup expert so you can settle on a hairstyle and makeup look before the big day.  (Take your headpiece!)
	Book ahead for a hairstyling and manicure near the wedding date.
	Make arrangements for silk flowers and/or balloons if necessary.
	Order any specialty items-such as imprinted napkins or matches-for the wedding.
