Bridal Tips ~ How to Enjoy Your Day

1. Hire a wedding coordinator (day of coordinator at minimal). The coordinator will be responsible and make sure to handle all the little details you don’t need

to stress over on your big day.

2. Get lots of sleep.

3. Eat a balanced breakfast high in protein and complex carbs.

4. Give yourself plenty of time to get ready.

5. Wear a shirt that buttons all the way down in the front when getting your hair done. You don’t want to worry about pulling a t-shirt over your freshly

styled hair.

6. Discuss expectations of behaviors with your bridesmaids and groomsmen.

7. Break in your shoes before the big day!

8. Don’t overdue it on the perfume.

9. Pack a wedding day emergency kit.

10. Stop and take it all in during your ceremony.

11. Make at least a 5 minute dinner date with your now spouse.

12. Arrange for group photos at the reception.

13. Be careful with alcohol.

14. Bring flats to the reception.

15. Appoint someone to save you from chatty guests.

16. Have a moment with each of your parents.

17. Give your DJ the list of songs you want to hear.

18. Make sure you dance!

Your Rehearsal Dinner Your rehearsal dinner is a great way to break the ice with your soon to be in-

laws and relatives, if you already don’t know them well. Rehearsal dinners are

typically held after your ceremony rehearsal. Traditionally, the grooms side is

responsible for arranging the location and financing the event, but can be

coordinated and financed by all parties involved. Your guest list should include

your immediate family, bridal party members along with their spouse or

significant other, relatives from out of town and the parents of any child

involved with the wedding (ring bearer, flower girl, etc.). If your

officiate is present for your ceremony rehearsal it is polite to include

them with their spouse and or significant other as well. Your

rehearsal dinner can be small or large, casual or formal, whichever

works best for you and your families.
