    Not sure I know how to not stress, I actually live on stress. But I would recommend making a list of what you need to bring with you. Add everything you can think of and get as much packed in advance as possible. Even if you're not going far, you will need to make sure you didn't leave the earrings, or that special thing you really wanted on your wedding day. Get all of your final payments and tips in envelopes and put in a safe place, I recommend also putting your marriage license there. You may wish to have someone responsible for the license, getting it to the ceremony site and ensure you have all you need after. Make sure you have your day of timeline and send it out to all in the wedding party. Good luck and happy wedding day!

    I'm all about lists, so I have a bunch of running to-do lists (diy to-do, to buy, to pack, etc.). I'm going to print them out and put them on google drive as we get closer so I can keep them up to date and with me .

    I also agree with lists and checklist. Also agree to pack as much as possible in advance. If you don't have a wedding coordinator assign a point person for the job. They act as a to go person to trouble problems and answer questions

    As others have said, LISTS. Break them down by category. Think of all the things you’ll need for yourself day of (like dress, jewelry, hair products, perfume, shoes, makeup, phone, etc). Then think of things you’d just want to have in general (like music/speaker, food, drinks, etc). Then think of things you’d specifically need for the wedding (like signs, rentals, candles, cake stands/cake cutting set, etc). Look over and add to the lists over the next couple days so it’s all complete! Being organized is so important leading up to the day!

    As for stress, there’s really no quick fix. Make sure jobs are delegated and everything is organized. Having clear instructions and knowing you can depend on the people helping you is key!! And if you’re like me, then have mimosa mix or the like on hand to help de-stress just a little!

    Bring your planning binder- you never know when you're going to need copies of contracts, notes, etc.

    A friend of mine handed over her phone to her mom to avoid having to take last minute calls from people.

    Make a list! I wish I had. My friend come to my hotel room to help me get my bra on (strapless corset bra) and we were grabbing everything to finish getting ready at the venue. I didn't have a list so I completely forgot my belt and my perfume. Lists are definitely a must have. Make copies of your lists and pens to check things off.
