Do pick up your invitation envelopes as soon as possible so that you can begin addressing them.

Don’t forget to send an invitation to your officiant and to all of your wedding party.

Do reserve your photographer 9-12 months before your wedding. Decide which shots you definitely want and which you can live without.

Don’t waste time getting to your reception. Have photos of the wedding party taken before the ceremony.
