Could you make these a day ahead for a wedding?

In order to make these ahead of time, you'd have to prepare the filling and refrigerate it overnight. Prior to serving, you would fill the shells and bake them. If you fill and bake them ahead of time and refrigerate the shells overnight, the shells will likely be soggy when you serve them.

Other options would be one of many Mini Fillo Shell recipes which do not require baking. That way you could simply prepare the filling ahead of time, refrigerate then fill the shells prior to the wedding.
