Wedding Checklist

For the benefit of the other bride to be’s who are looking for a wedding checklist, I have compiled the list I’ve used.  These are the things that we should really focus on. If you are trying to trim down your wedding costs, we should focus on the needs, and eliminate the wants. =) If you want to get a copy of the wedding checklist spreadsheet, please do send me an email: bloggingb2b@e-mail.ph

Here’s my checklist.

Church Ceremony:

Church Venue Fee – we booked Don Bosco, and booked their non AC package. What I really love about them is they are really accommodating; this fee already includes all seminars. Some churches still require you to pay an extra amount if you are going to attend their seminar. We had 4 appointments with them. (Canonical Interview, Pre-Cana Seminar, Marriage Counseling and Wedding Rehearsal)

Pen For Signing of Contract – We DIY’d this; and matched the colors with our motif. We used crystal and beans in designing these cute pens.

Ring and Coin Bearer pillow

Unity Coins

Bible

Matches

Unity Cord

Unity Veil

Offertory – cruets, ciborium, candles, fruits, flowers

Wedding Choir – so this is the cons if you book Don Bosco. Singer/pianist is not included on their package. So you really have to get your own musician.

Legal Papers

Birth Certificate – must be accredited by NSO. This can be ordered online, or you can request this from NSO or thru SM Business Centers. This is needed if you are going to get your marriage license

Baptismal Certificate – must have a stamp that says FOR MARRIAGE PURPOSES; needed by the church

Confirmation Certificate - must have a stamp that says FOR MARRIAGE PURPOSES; needed by the church

Cenomar – this is needed by the municipal where in you are going to apply for your marriage license. This is a proof that indicates you are not yet married to someone else

Wedding Banns – forms will be provided by the church wherein the wedding ceremony would take place. These will be posted for 3 consecutive Sundays at the bride and groom’s parish priest. Some churches announce the date of the wedding during Sunday masses, while other churches post the couple’s picture on their bulletin board.

Prints

Invitations – I made our own layout, and had it printed from someone who also makes wedding invitations

Missalette – DIY as well

Guestbook – DIY

Apparel

Wedding Gown – this should include your veil, carrying bag & tiara (if applicable)

Bride’s shoes – I bought pink bridal shoes – my favorite color and part of our wedding motif

Groom’s Tux – H2b’s wearing coat & tie; belt and cuff links

Groom’s Shoes – GBX, leather

Best Man Attire

Groomsmen Attire

Maid of Honor Dress

Bride’s Maids Dresses

Flower Girl Dresses

Ring Bearer Attire

Jewelry Accessories

Florist

Bride Bouquet – We had this DIY’d. We used crystals and beads

Maid of Honor Bouquet

Flower Girl – instead of carrying flowers, my little girls are going to carry teddy bears and one here comes the bride sign

Bride Maid’s Wrister – to eliminate cost, we opted to get wristers for them

Corsages – just like my pink bouquet, all of my ninangs are going to wear corsages.
