Even if you think you’ve thought of everything, you haven’t. There are so many things you don’t know that you don’t know (sounds weird but you know what I mean). Today I’m sharing just a few of the thing you may not realize or remember for your wedding. If you have anything to add let me know!
What? I need cash to tip my limo driver, planner, DJ, Wait staff? Nobody told me that.
Be prepared with labeled envelopes of money for gratuity.
What? I forgot my garter to toss, hairspray and double stick tape?
Be prepared with an emergency kit stocked with all the things you just might need. All good planners carry one with them at all times (mine is in a three tier tool box).
What do you mean the cake’s not here and the DJ is lost?
Be prepared with a list of all vendors contact names and phone numbers for the day. Make sure you email confirmations with address and times for each vendor(#1 reason to hire at least a Day of Coordinator- just sayin).
Rain? Seriously, its raining on my wedding day?
Be prepared with umbrellas and a PLAN B – there must always be a PLAN B.
Why are you asking me about when to serve the cake?
Be prepared to appoint someone the point of contact for the day (not your mother, maid of honor or bridesmaid either). This way you won’t have to be bothered with these things throughout the celebration.
You mean the wedding is over? So quick? I spent a year planning it!!
Be prepared for post wedding blues. Now the planning is over, you’ve returned from your honeymoon, and you don’t know what to do with yourself. It’s only natural that you’ll miss the vendor meetings, meetings with your planner (who is by now, probably your friend) and daydreaming about your perfect gown. What to do next? No, not children (even if your mother in law is insisting- mine was asking me the day after we got married!) Look at your photographs and just imagine every moment, every detail and every emotion you felt. Memories last forever, you can relive your wedding anytime you want to. Always always remember, you got what you wanted, you’re married to the perfect partner.
What? I’m stuck with their family forever?
Another post for another day…….
Tomorrow…..NUMBER 1 “NOT YOUR MOTHER’S WEDDING” Oh yea, I went there.
