Your wedding day is filled with memorable moments. You will be pampered as you prepare for your day, showered with love from friends and family, and participate in all the fun, wedding day traditions. (Did anyone else practice tossing her bouquet when she was a little girl, or was that just me?)
But, with weddings, emotions run high and time usually runs short. What can you do to keep common wedding day stressers from stealing the joy from your big day? Here are three keys that will keep your wedding day memories sweet!
1. Enlist a friend to serve as your "lady in waiting."
Your bridesmaids are there for you, but lets be honest, they also have to get ready! Choose a close friend to be your lady in waiting. They are there to calm you down, run out to grab that thing you forgot, and watch the time. They can also be the gatekeeper when you need a little quiet time.
2. Put together an Emergency Kit in advance of the wedding.
Stock it with mints, extra toiletries, a list of vendor names and phone numbers, and anything else you may need for the wedding. This will most likely prevent anyone having to do a quick run to the grocery store!
3. Communicate!
Many brides forget that just because they have lived and breathed this event for 8 months and know the agenda by heart doesn't mean everyone else does! Be sure to share with bridesmaids, groomsmen, and close family members exactly what the schedule of day. They will feel more prepared and relaxed and as a bonus you aren't asked "What are we supposed to do about...?" a million times.
I love the idea of sending out these cute Wedding Timeline Cards by pixelstopaper. Everyone has a visual schedule and will know how the big day will commence!
