Preparing
for a wedding takes a lot of planning and time to make it a memorable occasion.
It is recommended that you select a wedding planner that takes the time to get
to know the bride’s family and the groom’s family. As well as knowing the
budget ahead of time for the type of wedding reception you would like to have
for yourself and your partner. Also, deciding if you want a casual or formal
wedding can influence selecting your decorations, souvenirs, and the number of
guests. In addition to planning the wedding reception, your friends might want
to have a bridal shower.
Yet, the
bridal shower can be optional for some brides because not all brides want a
bridal shower. Some brides prefer to have a cozy dinner with their friends
before the wedding or a few weeks leading up to the wedding day. There is
nothing wrong with having dinner with your friends before your wedding day.
Nevertheless, if you do have a bridal shower party or bridal friends' dinner,
always have thank you cards or thank you gifts to give out. Another tip is to
have a backup pair of shoes during the party, especially if your
friends want to dance, go hiking during the day, or if the party is right after
you come back from your job.
Besides
the bridal party preparations, always have time for yourself by doing self-care
activities. Get a massage one or two days before your wedding day. Be prepared
for last-minute changes and have an emergency kit. Make an emergency kit for
the bride and for the rest of the people who are part of the wedding. In the
emergency kit, you can include extra pairs of slippers, flat shoes, nail
polish, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, band-aids, a sewing kit, and other items.
Additionally,
bobby pins, hair clips, and other hair accessories as a backup in case you need
to fix your hair or the bridesmaid's hair. An emergency wedding kit can be
useful in case someone needs an item quickly before the ceremony. Depending on
the location of the wedding, find time to rest before the wedding. Wedding
preparations can get exhausting and challenging in making decisions on food,
music, and entertainment. You can get opinions from friends and family for the
wedding preparations but plan the wedding with a wedding planner.
If you
do not have a wedding planner, you can still plan the wedding. Although wedding
planners can be too expensive, you can plan the wedding with someone you trust.
If you are the bride and have a strict budget, plan the wedding carefully. Ask
the opinions of the groom and make a list of items to make your dream wedding.
Often keeping items simple such as the dress, food, and wedding toast can make
your wedding day special.
Ask your
friends for references for a party DJ, a musical orchestra, or music
entertainment. As well as references for party location rentals and price
quotes if possible. Decide on music and the party location. After you have
decided together, you can make a beautiful and unique wedding celebration. Make
sure you follow hosting etiquette and do not have expectations for a perfect
wedding party.
Weddings
are magical, elegant, and cozy no matter where they take place. Remind yourself
that what is important is sharing your life with the partner that you love.
Moreover, it is the love of the bride and groom that unites two families
together. Do not ignore family music requests for the wedding party. Last,
split your wedding budget in half if needed because the other half of the
budget can be used for the wedding honeymoon.
Furthermore,
if you are the bride making the wedding preparations, practice staying calm and
do relaxation techniques. Wait for the right time to take breaks in between the
rehearsal dinner and throughout the wedding preparations. Also, make sure the
groom is relaxed as well by getting a couple's massage at a spa, practicing
yoga, and practicing mindfulness. Make sure you do not skip breakfast and enjoy
the joyful events before your wedding day. Here are resources with more wedding
tips.
