Wedding To-do's: 3 Months before Wedding

To-do's:

Finalize the guest list, and keep track of names, addresses, phone numbers and responses. Theknot.com has a great Wedding Guest list tool.

Begin addressing the invitations; be sure to take a completed invitation, with all enclosures, to the post office to determine how much postage each envelope will require. Don't forget stamps for the response cards!

Select and purchase your going-away outfits, honeymoon clothing and luggage.

Meet with your florist and finalize wedding flower details. Be sure to take fabric swatches, a picture of your dress and discuss other floral decorations needed, included any on the cake, which will be served at your wedding reception.

Select a bakery and order your wedding cake. Be sure to bring pictures of styles that you like, and discuss themes or ethnic influences that you'd like included in the cake's design. Consider ordering a groom's cake to be served at the rehearsal dinner or reception. Also, be sure to arrange for a cake tasting session.

Arrange wedding day transportation for the wedding party, family members and other honored guests. Consider hiring a valet service to streamline the parking situation at your wedding reception facility.

Select and order wedding favors.

Schedule fittings for bridesmaids and maid/matron of honor.
