15 Clever Wedding Tips Every Bride-To-Be Should Know

11. Thank you notes?

Giving thank you notes might feel like a chore, but the sooner you do it, the easier the task. Instead of mailing out thank you notes after the wedding (ugh), hand them out (or have someone hand them out) while the gifts are being given.

12. Find some pre-ceremony peace and quiet.

Once the ceremony starts, you will hardly have any time for yourself, let alone some quiet time. You will be having your picture taken left and right, everyone will want to congratulate you and talk to you. While all of this is nice, take some time to prepare, meditate, and be grateful for the big day.

13. Don’t bother trying to please everyone.

People will always find something they don’t like. The good news is that there’s absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t care. This day is for you and your spouse and not for anyone else.

14. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

There is no such thing as a perfect wedding. There will always be something that won’t go according to plan — and that’s completely fine. No one else will notice, so don’t stress! The most important thing about your wedding is your union with the person you love the most — nothing else matters.

15. Pause, slow down, and drink in the moment.

Once the wedding is done, it will just be another day in your calendar, another special day to remember. Your wedding will become a blur to you and your only memories of the night might be the ones immortalised in photos. Don’t get caught up in the blur — once in a while, pause and look. Look at your family and friends, notice the details, behold your new spouse and memorise how they looked that night. Feel the love around you and commit it to memory.
