Seventeen tips for the final months before your wedding
I put up an Instagram story, asking my followers who were married for tips on wedding planning for someone who has done most planning but only has a few months to go.
I was really shocked that so many people responded and engaged with the story, the story had over 100 responses either via answers or personal DMs.
I collated and condensed all of the most helpful tips into seventeen tips for people getting married soon.
I hope you enjoy!
The seventeen tips:
Make other people responsible for things that need looking after on the day so you can just enjoy yourselves.
Plan some alone time for the two of you after the ceremony (30-60 minutes recommended).
Only do things to please yourselves. Don’t try and please everyone. Set boundaries with family and friends inviting plus ones.
Stop and take a sensory snapshot during your wedding, to take everything in.
Designate somewhere safe to put gifts so you don’t lose track of them.
Good photographers are an investment worth making.
Try to get an events manager for the day so you don’t have any responsibilities. Alternatively, to save money, you could ask a close friend or family member.
Photographs take longer than you think, so factor in some extra time (30-60 minutes recommended).
Choose what you don’t mind compromising on if anything goes wrong on the day.
Have a restful day before the wedding, so you can fully enjoy your day.
introduce your vendors to each other beforehand (if you have vendors) and check if they need plug sockets/how many they need, so they are conveniently positioned.
Block time out during the day to get some headspace.
Decide if you want people to tell you if anything goes wrong on the day.
If possible, mix up the seating so different people can interact.
make sure you give notice early enough to avoid anything being pushed back.
Accommodate for things potentially running overtime in advance.
Just have fun!
