Wedding Wisdom...
  • You can assume about 20% of your guest list will not attend. If your list is limited however, it is likely most will attend, since you have already narrowed it to a select few.
  • Consider writing a special speech for the reception.
  • Begin thinking of seating arrangements.
  • Consider the weather of honeymoon spots at the time of your travels. Will it be hurricane season?
  • You and your fiancé are now pros at using those stress-busters!
  • Look through hair and makeup magazines. Cut out styles you like.
  • Continue to communicate and clarify your needs with vendors.
  • Plan to have a thank you get-together for the bridal party and key players, with gifts and special notes for each member.
  • Practice walking in wedding shoes and scruff the bottoms.
  • Remember to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
  • Try to do something wedding-related 30 minutes a day.
  • Maximize use of those stress-buster techniques!
  • Plan a special dinner with your fiancé without any wedding talk. Just relax and enjoy a night together.
