Whether it’s the food, decorations, music, etc., you need to prepare the processing of payments and also prepare the tip envelopes to give on the day of the event, so you’re not rushing around to get things done on your big day.
Have Check-Ins With Vendors
It’s a good idea to have a final check-in with all of the vendors before the big day. You want to make sure that everything is going smoothly and as planned and that there aren’t any unexpected surprises waiting for you.

Keep in mind that the changes shouldn’t be too drastic, otherwise it won’t be a good thing and everything will fall apart. Just make sure that you’re present for a final meeting 1 to 2 days before the wedding, in order to get everything sorted and ready to go for the wedding.
Have Everything Packed

Have Extra Cash

Also, you might need to pay for a cab for the ceremony, reception and for going to the airport or hotel after the wedding, so you will be prepared and there won’t be any awkward moments.
Have All Arrangements Ready
