How to streamline and de-stress your wedding
- Be sure the groom and groomsmen try on their tuxes at least two days before the wedding, to give them time for last-minute alterations.
- When you pose for your first-kiss picture, hold the kiss for a few seconds, to let everyone take their pictures.
- Be sure you know the names of the people each vendor is sending to your wedding. You don’t want unpleasant surprises.
- Ask if your venue or caterer provides take-home boxes for your guests who can’t finish their dinner.
- Tell your photographer in advance what special shots you absolutely want him or her to take.
- Have your thank-you cards written and envelopes addressed BEFORE the wedding, so you don’t have that chore awaiting you when you return from your honeymoon.
- Consider serving your wedding dinner family-style instead of having plated meals. It’s a great way to encourage your guests to get to know one another.
- Take time during your hectic wedding day to get away for a few minutes — just the two of you — to relax and savor the moment.
- If you have the time and energy, write a personal note on the back of each table card, to make each guest feel special.
- Be sure your venue has a special room set aside exclusively for you and your wedding party to use during your reception.
