Planning for your big day can definitely take a lot out of you. With so many different tasks to complete before the date of your wedding arrives, it can be easy to feel like you’re forgetting one or two things. Unfortunately, missing one simple thing can easily disrupt all of your carefully laid plans. While there is no guaranteed method of ensuring you’ve covered all your bases, there are a handful of simple steps you can take to figure out whether or not you’re neglecting an important detail.
Give yourself a quick moment to look over some of these tasks. By refreshing yourself on the details you’re more likely to forget, you can make sure you are taking care of everything before your wedding.
Something Comfy
The day of your wedding is going to fly past you. Still, there are moments where it can be best to take a breath and try to slow time and focus. Specifically, this applies to the time in the morning you and your partner spend getting ready. Usually, the happy couple spends the early hours of the day getting dressed and preparing for the event to come. More often than not, the bridesmaids and groomsmen are also involved during this time, making sure the couple stays on track.
While not totally necessary, many couples like to provide comfortable clothes for the members of their wedding party to lounge around in during this time. Since you don’t want the nice dresses and tuxedos to get wrinkled or worse, providing items like robes or sweats can help a lot. Plus, you can even go the extra mile and provide seriously comfy pieces as gifts that the members of your wedding party can use time and time again. This small detail is easy to overlook and can really send a nice message to your party members when you remember.
Parental Guidance
On the day of your wedding, you and your significant other are likely going to be given a ton of gifts from guests. While this is expected, you also need to remember that there are a handful of people you will need to need to grab gifts for. You specifically want to remember small tokens of appreciation for your parents and the parents of your partner. This can be especially important to remember if any parents contributed financially to the actual wedding.
It is very easy to take parents for granted, but your wedding day is not an occasion where this should happen. The gift you provide does not have to be large or lavish. In fact, most parents aren’t going to want their child to spend a small fortune when they’re already paying for the costs of a wedding. Think about going the sentimental route and providing a heartfelt gift that can show how much you care without having to go overboard.
In Case of Emergency
Finally, it can be wise to think about packing or purchasing an “in case of emergency” kit. This handy little kit should include everything from minor first-aid supplies to extra zippers or buttons in the event of a wardrobe mishap. A tiny bottle of alcohol to calm your nerves might also be a wise addition to the kit, especially if you find yourself particularly stressed when the big day finally arrives.
When you’re planning for a wedding, it can be easy to forget one or two simple things. In order to prepare for all that you want to get done, it can be a good idea to give yourself plenty of time to make sure nothing has slipped past you. This should help you shed any worry that you’ve neglected something important and allow you the freedom to walk down the aisle without cause for concern.
