  Have you paid all your contracts that needed to be paid in advance? Do you have tips ready? Have you gone over final details with vendors (caterer, florist, photographer)? Do you have a day-of schedule worked out? What's transportation look like? Do you have place cards/seating chart ready? Marriage license?

  
  

  Oh and breathe! You're getting married!

  Pack
  Give bridal party a sort of timeline for the day of
  Wear your shoes around the house so that you won't get blisters on your wedding day
  Leave a note or something to tell someone back home where you will be and when when away for the DW (in case of emergency)
  Confirm details (when, where, contact info.) with any vendors such as photographer, florist, DJ, cake baker, etc.
  Have the groom and groomsmen pick up and try on their tuxes (if wearing/bringing them)
  Ask someone to take care of the boxed gifts and card box on the wedding day 
  Get money/budget for cash tips
  Confirm appointments to get your hair/make-up/nails done
  Prepare any toasts you want to give
  Relax

  Relax and get some rest while you can!  Week before I packed each event rehearsal, ceremony, & reception (might be harder with traveling but you get the idea).  schedule a mani/pedi or a massage so you can relax.  Review what is left on your to do list and decide how important it is--don't stress over the little details. 
  
  I second wearing your shoes and do a final fitting.  My final fitting was 3 weeks before my wedding and I was so busy the 2 weeks leading up I lost a little weight and my dress was slightly big (not a bad thing, lol) but definitely would have arranged to try it one more time!
  
  Good Luck & enjoy this time!!

  Thanks for all the suggestions!  Less than 7 days to go!  Finishing up the last stuff... definitely need to try the dress on again! I sure wish I'd lose some weight and need to eat extra to fit into it!
  
  I appreciate the replies! Thanks again!
