Get Good Rest

The night before your wedding will probably be harder for you to fall asleep than any ordinary night, therefore you should try to go to sleep an hour or two earlier than usual. Ensuring that you have gotten enough sleep will help the next day to flow easier. You want to make sure that you are glowing in your wedding photos and have enough energy to dance the night away!

Don’t Be Last Minute

During the week of your wedding, you should make sure that you have very little to do, especially during the last few days. Try to make sure that you’re not rushing around with last minute things that have to get done, so try to plan out everything accordingly. After everything is finalized you will finally be able to relax and pamper yourself!  

Accept Not Everything Will Go Perfectly 

Everyone wants their big day to go perfectly. You’ve been planning your wedding for months and have spent tens of thousands of dollars trying to put together your special day just as you please. But you should accept the fact that it’s more than likely that not everything is going to go exactly as planned. “Don’t sweat the small stuff, ” many couples would advise. Just take a deep breath, and remember that the minor details won’t matter in the long run.

Relax

The day of your wedding everything is going to feel like a rush, so it is important that you have some down time before the wedding starts. Sit back and have a cup of tea, or listen to some music that gets you in a good mood. Take some time to mentally prepare for your big day.

Remember Why You’re Celebrating

With all of the planning, costs, expectations, and stress that comes with a wedding, it can be easy to forget why you’re celebrating in the first place. Don’t obsess over the perfection of the day, but rather the meaning of it. Take a moment, and remember to celebrate the love that you and your partner share, and the beginning of the rest of your lives together.
