Tips to avoid being too tired on the wedding night?

when you find out let me know lol

About the only thing I can suggest is keeping the wedding simple. If you're staying up late the night before with your BMs, getting up early for all of you to get hair and make-up done so you can have a bunch of photos taken, and spending a lot of time at the reception greeting all your guests and then dancing for hours, you could easily fall asleep in the middle of 11 pm intimacy. (For reference, a lot of people don't even manage to eat that day!)

You could be more rested if you simplify your wedding, e.g., not having a bridal party, limiting your guest list, and having a reception that is just a dinner party rather than a dance party, ending it early enough to get to bed before 11. But are you willing to give everything else you want for your wedding up for one night of sex?

Ha. No idea. I'd be surprised if we're rested up enough to fool around Sunday night.
Putting that much pressure on one night when you have plenty more just seems stressful.

We are the same way. I honestly think as long as you reserve your energy during the reception you should be fine. Maybe instead of dancing a ton, go around and greet guests so you can sit and talk. Eat food and sweets but not too much so you aren’t super full and don’t crash. You can also take a B12 which helps with energy (I work for a Doctors office and they recommend this to many ppl for energy). Try not to drink too much either. If you start to feel a little sleepy maybe try a 5hr energy, sit/ rest for a few, or try a energy drink.
Also if you are so exhausted when you get back to the hotel take a little nap and then wake up have some fun and go back to sleep. This can be super fun getting to wake up get some and go back to sleep in his arms.
Hope this helps! 😊

I say make sure you're not up late the night before. And get a good sleep.

Don’t drink too much. Perhaps consider a shorter reception. Grab a coffee before you head back. Watch some porn to get you in the mood.

These are all guesses my husband and I couldn’t pull our sh*! together on our wedding night to clap one out.

I feel like after a long day of getting ready, drinking and celebrating it would be a little difficult to 'save' energy. My only suggestion would be not drinking a lot.

Power nap before makeup session

And I drink spark. From advocare. (Aminos and zoom!)

I think it's the drinking that does it. I know for a fact after a few drink FH isn't always the best at night and 8 times out of 10 we have to just quit after a while.

This is mostly a joke suggestion, but maybe you could start with a sensual foot rub, because after being on our feet all day (and I even wore comfy flats!) our feet were HURTIN'.

I love the B12 suggestion! I've taken B12 supplements in the past and it helped a lot, especially when I was accustomed to a lot of caffeine and it had little effect on me. Now that I don't drink anything with caffeine, one cup of coffee and I'm up all night!

Sleep the night before, take pauses through the day so you're not exhausted from the activity, stay hydrated and fed, end the party early enough that you won't be dead on your feet (sounds like you're doing that part already).
I wouldn't force it though. You have a lifetime of the magic to happen. Our evening was a ton of cuddling and that was perfect.

Only suggestion is get a ton of sleep the night before, don’t drink alcohol the night before, and be at least stressed as possible! (I know easier said than done)

also — drink ALOT of water on wedding day and don’t start drinking alcoholic beverages right away!

I would caution you to not put too much pressure on yourselves to do it on your wedding night. The exhaustion is real no matter what you do the day before and day of. Your adrenaline is so high that by the time you get back to your room at the end of the night, your body releases it and you crash. This was my 2nd marriage and both times the exhaustion just got the better of us. I didn't really understand when I got married my 1st time and was really disappointed. There is so much hype about having sex on your wedding night and I felt cheated of that. After hearing how common this is, and especially after reading this forum, I felt better about it and for my 2nd marriage prepared myself mentally that it probably wouldn't happen. As it turned out, I got sick with a bad head cold the day before the wedding that got worse on the wedding day and I got my period during the wedding reception, so nothing happened that night. Just enjoy yourselves and if it happens, great, if not, you have the rest of your lives together!

I never thought of this.

View Quoted Comment This is great advice!

You'll be tired, 100%. Regardless of how much you try. It's a super long day! I would stay hydrated and both eat throughout the day, and just make the effort for the extra time in the evening together! We made it work!

Well we weren’t intimate for a month prior to the wedding so that for sure helped us. I had a hectic last couple of days because we had a destination wedding and we had multiple of events. The night prior to the wedding I went to bed alone, I didn’t have any of my girls stay with me as I wanted to rest. I went to bed around 11ish and woke up next morning around 7. I made sure I had a good breakfast and rested all morning as much as possible. I didn’t have a calm wedding, I danced all night long but I didn’t drink wine which usually makes me sleepy. I didn’t drink much at all, I think I had 2 drinks and didn’t even fish them. I don’t know how had energy for all but I did. When we got back to our hotel room around 2 am something that really helped was a shower. I think if you put your mind into it you’ll be fine.
