- Instead of using rice or bubbles after the ceremony have your guests shower you in rose petals.
- Have backup plans in case of rain. I didn't think rain would affect an indoor wedding, but it did. I wanted to have some pictures taken outside & allowed time for that so when it rained.
- Call all the providers the week before the wedding, just to remind them of your date. That way they could never forget
- Don't leave out your husband-to-be. This is also a big day for him, so include him in your planning.
- Put the phone numbers you will frequently use while planning the wedding in your cellphone.
- Keep it simple. The more ornate and complex things become, the more of a whirlwind it all turns out to be.
- When having the Bridal shower, request gifts that are needed for the wedding such as a guest book and pen and cake cutter.
