Words from a Wise Cousin!

After my cousin Brandice got married , I asked her what some of the Pro's of Cons of things she did at her wedding. Things I can use to learn from on our upcoming wedding. Here are the tips she gave me, have any others please let me know...

Tips

Make sure to write your thank you cards out ahead of time and make labeled envelopes with money due and thank you notes to pass out to people.

Make sure your dress and bustle work and fit properly ahead of time.

Call the photographer and see when they are going to start taking pictures before you book your appointments for your hair and make up and leave some time in between in case your hair takes longer than planned, like mine did.

Designate someone ahead of time to keep track of all of your stuff. Maybe dived different things up among people.

Bring comfortable shoes to wear at the reception.

Maybe bring an energy drink because you will be running around all day long and it really wears you out.

Take some time at the reception to step away with your new hubby and relax for a moment and see all of the crazy stuff that is going on.

Make a list of must take pictures for your photographer.

Practice cutting a cake together and maybe practice slow dancing. Me and Kenny never did and we were both cracking up because we didn't really know what we were doing.

Make sure to get up and start talking to all of the tables before your do or photographers pull you away because that happened to me and when I came back some people had left and others were up walking around so I didn't really get to say hi to everyone
