Worried you’ll forget to do something important before your wedding? You’re not alone, it’s overwhelming planning a huge event like this! You want your day to be how YOU want it, but that’s difficult to accomplish without taking over everything yourself.
Here’s my top 10 list of things to prepare before your special day to ensure a smooth wedding day!
- Create an Emergency Kit! Find a box or bag you love and fill it with everything you can think of to fix those “oh, crap” moments. You may want to include a needle & thread, bandaids, a Tide pen, an umbrella, toiletries, extra chargers for your devices, etc.
- Communicate with your photographer! Ensure they are well-equipped with all of the details: venue address, shot list, and any other important information.
- Go on a date! Relax, this is a stressful time and it’s easy to lose sight of the whole purpose of your ceremony. Enjoy a night out together and focus on your love for one another!
- Make your pamper appointments! Call to confirm the date and time of your hair, nail, and other necessary appointments. Gotta feel good AND look good!
- Call any vendors to confirm the date, time, and location. You don’t want your cake or flowers showing up at the wrong address!
- Finalize a head-count for your guests.
- Get your marriage license!
- Make sure your welcome or thank-you baskets for your bridal party are set and ready to go.
- Start any new skincare routines at least 30 days in advance. This will give your skin time to purge and adjust!
- Give yourself the space to ENJOY your day how it was meant to be! At this point everything is said and done, so don’t put any extra stress on yourself. This will only take away from the magic of your moment. Go into your day with a relaxed, positive mindset and stay focused on the reasons you are getting married!
