All right, here's part 2 of some serious wedding planning. It's a good idea to create a checklist and just mark things off as you do them.

2-4 months before the wedding, you need to:

* Pick out and order your rings (one of the more fun parts)
* Buy wedding favors and attendants' gifts
* Help your groom decide on his attire
* Finalize decor ideas

2 months before, you should:

* Check that your attendants have their dresses and all needed accessories. If anything needs to be altered, now is the time to do it.
* Mail invitations
* Finalize your menu for the reception
* Choose your music or meet with your desired DJ
* Make a list of possible photographers you want to work with

1 month before, you need to:

* Make sure your wedding dress fits (be sure to bring all of your accoutrements to your fitting!)
* Check with your attendants to make sure they know what their wedding day assignments are
* Confirm with caterers, bakers, vendors, etc.
