While wedding<\/a> planning should be one of the most exciting time in a bride-to-be\u2019s life, I imagine it\u2019s stressful. I was getting overwhelmed just doing research for this post.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s so much to organize, reserve, plan, and create when it comes to a wedding, but don\u2019t get so caught up in the invitations, the dress, the flowers, and the cake\u2026 that you forget those extra little things that really make the day a success. Try not to forget the following 11 things:<\/p>\n

11.) Look into wedding insurance<\/a> and decide if it\u2019s right for you. Wedding insurance is exactly what it sounds like. Inexpensive policies that will cover things like if your wedding gets postponed because of bad weather, or your officiant just doesn\u2019t show up.<\/p>\n

10.) Send out Save the Dates<\/a>. Just because YOU have the date with hearts around it on your calendar doesn\u2019t mean your second cousin once removed does. Get on their calendar NOW.<\/p>\n

9.) Find out if your caterer is taking care of dishes, tables, chairs etc. If they aren\u2019t, remember to do it yourself. The last thing you want is your $65 a plate chicken to turn into finger foods.<\/p>\n

8.) Reserve electrical and structural odds and ends. If you\u2019re having an outdoor event, make sure you have portable toilets. If you\u2019re having fancy lighting, make sure all of the necessities are reserved.<\/p>\n

7.) Order your thank you cards<\/a>. This probably seems like an obvious one, but it can easily be overlooked. If you want an entire matching stationery ensemble, get thank you cards at the exact same time as your invitations, RSVP cards<\/a> and whatever other stationery you\u2019re buying. Keep them someplace safe so you can get started on them ASAP.<\/p>\n

6.) When planning your honeymoon, think about any doctor\u2019s appointments you may need. If you\u2019re traveling out of the country, make sure you\u2019re all up-to-date on your shots.<\/p>\n

5.) Make a list of \u201cMust Take\u201d photographs. Photographers have their own ideas on what looks good, just like you do, but remember it\u2019s YOUR day. If there are certain people you want to pose with that go against the norm\u2026 let your photographer know in advance.<\/p>\n

4.) If you and your soon-to be-spouse plan on moving soon after the wedding remember to give change-of-address information to your local post office.<\/p>\n

3.) Break your wedding shoes in. Comfort is important on your wedding day, so please walk around in your shoes a few times before the \u201cbig day.\u201d You don\u2019t want a bunch of blisters forming while you\u2019re trying to Chicken Dance.<\/p>\n

2.) Remember that honeymoon that you planned and are looking forward to? Make sure your family, friends or house-sitter has all of the necessary travel information, in case of an emergency.<\/p>\n

1.) Have fun and say \u201cthank you.\u201d Your wedding day is a special time, so be sure to enjoy it. Don\u2019t stress if the swizzle sticks aren\u2019t the exact white you asked for, or someone makes an embarrassing toast. Enjoy it, and remember to thank everyone for helping you make the day happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
