We know it can take forever before you even think of starting the wedding planning &#8211; we&#8217;re not going to lie, we&#8217;d be putting on the long finger too! Before you know it, it&#8217;s only a few weeks away and ready to pop ( the little baby which is your wedding that is). You probably have the basics fleshed out but it&#8217;s those nitty gritty details you want to be tackling at this stage. We&#8217;re not all born event planners but we do have some quick checklist tips for you to keep you in line in the last month of your wedding:<\/p>\n<h2>Organise Legalities<\/h2>\n<p>Kind of a biggy. Make sure you&#8217;ve registered to marry before the big day. Nothing worse than having to do paper work after the big day. This includes passports if you&#8217;re planning your honeymoon too. On the other hand, it could be a fun learning experience as a couple for you too&#8230; nah.

Aren&#8217;t we nice?<\/p>\n<h2>Shop For Formalwear<\/h2>\n<p>This means bridesmaids gear and groomsmen! We are huge HUGE fans of Queer Eye For The Straight Guy here at WeddingDates, so take a leaf from their books. It&#8217;s a little outdated but they still have great advice. Grooms, never rent your tux for the big day &#8211; you deserve the extra effort. Organise your dresses for your girls. Good wedding etiquette usually means covering the costs of the dresses, whether they&#8217;re individual or one off pieces. P.s, if anyone finds a link with tips from the Fab Five of Queer Eye please link us! Seriously, how great was that show?<\/p>\n<h2>Get Addresses for Guest List and Organise Wedding Stationery<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;ve spoken before about the idea of E-vites for your wedding &#8211; this is perfect for location weddings and tech savvy friends.
