Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. You’ve spent the last several months, if not years, preparing for this day.In order to make the most of it, here are 10 tips to help you prepare:
1. Start Exercising Early
Adding a regular exercise regimen to your week is something you will want to start well in advance of your wedding. Not only can it help you shed a few pounds, but it can also benefit your mental health when times become hectic. With online strength coaching, you can work with a personal trainer from home, so it will work with your busy wedding planning schedule.
2. Select Your Shot List Before the Wedding
You’ve likely hired a photographer and want to hand over all of the responsibility to them. While this sounds great in theory, it’s absolutely different in practice. If there are very specific types of photos you’ll want to have captured, it’s important to send those over to your photographer well in advance.
3. Outline Your Wedding Day Timeline
From the ceremony to the cocktail hour, there are several moments throughout the day that you will need to consider. Outline the event with a wedding day timeline. This will consist of everything that happens for yourself, your partner, vendors, and your guests.
4. Add Enough Time For Hair and Makeup
If you think you’ve allotted enough for hair and makeup, add even more time. Hiccups can happen and your bridesmaids will want to partake in hair and makeup as well. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time so no one has to feel rushed.
5. Keep Cocktail Hour to One Hour
It’s called cocktail hour for a reason. There isn’t anything worse than your guests becoming too restless and overindulging in the open bar. Make sure you keep cocktail hour to an hour as to not let the festivities drag on.
6. Don’t Forget To Eat
On your wedding day, you will probably be running around saying hello to everyone. Of course, you want to make ethem feel acknowledged and appreciated for coming to your wedding. However, you don’t want to forget to take time to eat and enjoy the day yourself.
7. Overtime for Vendors
Something many people tend to forget when planning their wedding is what happens to the vendors. If the party is still going but the DJ is supposed to clock out at 9 P.M., you will want to discuss ahead of time if you desire to have them stay later than anticipated. It could be an additional cost you didn’t expect to have. It’s better to have this information upfront.
8. Put One Person In Charge
Some people like to hire a wedding planner. That way, on the actual day of the wedding, you won’t have to be the one running around to make sure toasts are done on time or the cake is ready to be cut. If you haven’t hired a wedding planner, you’ll absolutely want to designate someone to be in charge. Hopefully, a wonderful (and organized) family member would be willing to help.
9. Be Prepared for the Unexpected
There is no such thing as a wedding day without at least one thing going differently than expected. This is the part where you don’t have to fret, even if you feel like you want to explode. Nothing ever goes perfectly.
If something goes wrong, have someone like your designated wedding planner or your maid of honor be in charge of handling the issue. It’s your special day and you shouldn’t have to be bothered with any issues that may come up.
10. Enjoy Your Special Day
Most importantly, don’t forget to enjoy your special day. It happens once in a lifetime and is a day to be remembered. Take the time that is meant just for you and your partner to remember why you are there in the first place.
