✦ WEDDING DAY ESSENTIALS

9 Things to Include on Your Wedding Day Checklist

Avoid last-minute panic with our battle-tested wedding day emergency checklist — from bridal emergency kits to vendor gratuity envelopes.

1. The Master Vendor Contact Sheet (Laminated)

Never rely solely on your phone battery or patchy resort Wi-Fi. Have a printed, laminated sheet with phone numbers of the driver coordinator, panditji, makeup artist lead, hotel banquet manager, and DJ.

2. The Bridal Survival Emergency Kit

Include safety pins in 4 sizes, fabric double-sided tape, chalk (for covering sudden oil stains on silk lehengas), blister band-aids, hairpins, mints, and pain relievers.

3. Sealed Gratuity & Tip Envelopes

Pre-fill and label tip envelopes for bellboys, drivers, housekeeping, and dhol players the day before so your parents are not scrambling for cash during bidai.

4. Jewelry & Outfit Steamer Assigned Custodian

Appoint one specific trusted sibling or shadow manager with custody of the bride's jewelry boxes and bridal steamer.

5. Varmala & Sacred Puja Samagri Verification

Ensure garlands are refrigerated until 30 minutes before Jaimala so flowers remain crisp and fragrant.
