Did You Remember?

Author: Marisilda Garcia

Did you remember to…

1) Have something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.

2) Have a small sewing kit handy just in case (with safety pins included.

3) Break in your shoes so you’re not wearing them for the first time on your wedding day.

4) Have a first aid kit handy with band aids…just in case you skipped #3 and got blisters while dancing night away.

5) Memorize your vows (if you’ve written your own).

6) Have your bridesmaid’s and groom’s gifts ready for the night before your big day.

7) Buy the correct undergarments for your dress.

8) Get your passports, airline tickets and reservation information ready for your honeymoon.

9) Put together your accessories and jewelry for your wedding day

10) Get together an emergency kit with your sewing kit, band aids, extra nail polish, extra nylons, breath mints, extra cash, a camera, tissues, bobby pins and anything else you may need on your day.

With this list, you can add or remove anything that doesn’t fit into your particular day. Make it your own, print it and use it to help relieve any additional stress that may come from planning your wedding.

Happy Planning!
