Eat and drink something (seriously!)
You might be so nervous or busy that you forget to eat. But honestly, your body needs fuel. This is specifically when you will be on your feet, smiling for photos, and may be dancing all night for the celebrations.
So, ladies, eat a small, healthy breakfast or lunch before everything starts. Also, don’t forget to drink water. Staying hydrated will keep your energy up and help you feel good all day.
Pack a wedding day emergency kit
Okay, this is very important. Whether you wanna go for a fall wedding, summer, or any other time of year, carrying a wedding emergency kit is very important. It’s like a little box of magic. It should have things like:
- Safety pins
- Tissues
- Mints or gum
- A tiny sewing kit
- Bobby pins
- Lipstick or lip balm
- Extra hair ties
- Double-sided tape
- Bandaids
You never know what might happen, so having this kit is super important.
Try on your shoes
Brand new shoes can be a nightmare. If you don’t wear them before the wedding day, your feet might hurt or get blisters.
So, walk around your house in them for a few days. It will help make them more comfortable. Trust me, your feet will thank you during that first wedding dance.
Don’t forget the marriage license
Just imagine that you are all dressed up, walking down the aisle, and then suddenly you realize that you forgot your marriage license.
Make sure that you have it ready, signed, and packed in your bag. You can also give it to someone you trust, maybe your maid of honor or a family member. And by that way, you don’t have to worry about it.
Charge your phone and bring the charger
Even if you are not on your phone all day, it’s still really very important to have it charged. You might want to check the time, call someone, or take a few behind-the-scenes photos.
And, and, and… bring a portable charger! Just in case your phone battery starts to run low.
Take a moment for yourself
This might sound silly, but it’s so important. Before the big event starts, take 5 minutes alone.
Close your eyes. Breathe. Think about how happy and loved you feel. Weddings can feel like a blur, so give yourself a moment that helps you to remember how special it all is.
Say “Thank You”
So many people will be helping to make your wedding day amazing. They all will be your family, friends, the wedding planner, and more.
So, even a simple “thank you” with a smile can make their day. To make it more beautiful, you can also write thank-you notes ahead of time or give some small gifts to the people who helped the most.
Practice walking in your wedding dress
You might have spent days or months finding that perfect bridal wedding dress. It might be long, flowy, or poofy. Whatever the style, make sure that you feel comfortable in it.
So, take some time before the wedding day to walk around in it. Try sitting, dancing, and maybe even doing a little spin.
This will help you avoid tripping or stepping on the hem. Also, you will feel more comfortable when all eyes are on you.
Have a plan for your stuff
After the wedding is over, where do your things go?
What about your makeup bag, the gifts, leftover food, or your decorations?
Make a plan ahead of time. Ask someone to help pack things up at the end of the night. It will save you so much stress later!
Remember to pack for the honeymoon (only if you are going right after the celebrations)
Ladies, if you and your sweetheart are going on a honeymoon right after the wedding, don’t forget your suitcase.
Pack it a few days before the wedding. Make a checklist for:
- Clothes
- Toiletries
- Travel papers
- Chargers
- Swimsuit (if you’re hitting the beach!)
Get a good night’s sleep
We know, we know, it’s hard to sleep the night before your wedding. You are all excited, nervous, and maybe even a little scared.
But do your best to get some rest. A good night’s sleep will help you feel fresh and ready for the best day of your life.
Try relaxing before bed with:
- A warm bath
- Soft music
- No phone or screen for 30 minutes
You got this!
