1 Week to Go
18
Double check that the groomsmens’ outfits are all present and correct, when they’re collected a day or so before your wedding.
The week before your wedding should prove relaxing and stress-free... never forget your wedding should be something you enjoy and relish, not worry or panic over as the day draws near! Y Prepare for your Honeymoon: If you’ve found preparations for your wedding have slipped slightly, console yourself with the fact that after your wedding planning and the excitement of the big day comes a relaxing holiday! • Have all of the elements you’ll need for the honeymoon organised: eg: foreign currency, passport, suitcases, toiletries etc. • Remember to pack a phrase book or pocket translator.
Plan a quiet night in before your wedding and have a hot bath to help you sleep, avoiding puffy eyes the following morning!
Y Wear your Wedding Shoes in: Your wedding day will necessitate standing up all day in new shoes. Try to wear the shoes your wearing for the wedding around the house. The last thing you want is blisters bubbling-up before you even walk up the aisle, so make sure you take time to walk them in!
Y Chat with your Support Circle: Sit down and talk with the people you will be depending on during your wedding day, particularly youngsters, who are likely to forget if you try to do so any sooner, and will be too excited on the day itself. Be clear with them, explaining exactly what you’re expecting of them. Give the best man a list of final payments that will be due on the wedding day, and then supply any cash or cheques required!
Y Plan a Relaxing Wedding Eve: A night on the town is inadvisable on the evening before your wedding. Instead, opt for a quiet night in and an early night, your wedding day will be ruined by tiredness, a hangover or dehydration... and stag nights the evening before your wedding should definitely be ruled out!
