t minus 16 days…

Honestly, I would say just relax. Maybe finish up any final details like confirming all vendors have the day of schedule and you've designated a point of contact other than yourself in case people need to troubleshoot, and maybe pack a sewing kit, bobby pins, etc. into a little wedding day preparedness kit.

Congratulations!!! I suggest not adding anything on at this point! The days leading up to your wedding will fly by. Relax, enjoy this time knowing all of your hard work and planning will pay off. Make sure you have everything ready that you'll need for the day of. Most importantly enjoy every second of your wedding day and don't sweat the small stuff.

One friend that got married just said to relax and enjoy your wedding.

Important things I wish I had thought of:


1) Bite-size dry snacks for before the ceremony but after you are in your dress. I got hungry right when we were about to get into our transportation to the church. My parents were luckily able to buy me Goldfish and Animal Crackers in the hotel gift shop 😂
2) Designate a ring point person for the ENTIRE time period up until the ceremony. We didn’t and I left the rings at the hotel by accident. Luckily my uncle and aunt were staying there and the concierge let them into the room to grab before they headed to our ceremony 😬
3) Take a few minutes with your new spouse privately at some point after the ceremony. We got about 10 minutes to ourselves in a private area when we arrived for cocktail hour and it was really fun to laugh together, soak it in, and share a drink!
