A wedding day is a very important day in the lives of the couple; it is something that the two look forward to for quite a while. The whole run-up to the marriage and the day of the event can be very overwhelming for the couple. There is a lot that goes on to make a perfect wedding celebration. It leaves the couple exhausted thus making them look to spending some relaxed time at the end of the wedding.
In all of this brides often forget to do a few things that are actually pretty important. If you are going to be getting hitched sometime soon make sure to read and remember the points that you need to take care of after the wedding
One of the things that you need to do as soon as possible after the wedding is to make sure you have taken good care of your wedding dress. A wedding dress is possibly the most expensive clothing item that you might have ever purchased. If you have spent so much on it, it only calls for it to be given some attention. You need to send the dress for dry cleaning in order to get all the stains off the dress such as cake stains, spilling of champagne and the overall residue. The longer you take to give the dress for dry cleaning the more stubborn the stains will become. You may either want to sell your dress, or rent it out, or just keep it to be worn by someone down the generations. Nowadays you can find wedding dress preservation kits which involve preserving the wedding dress in an airtight box after draining out all the oxygen.
Another thing that brides often forget to do is review their vendors. A lot of people have contributed to the success of your wedding. They would like to receive a referral or a review that would help them get more business in the future or help them improve on their services. Do not forget to go review your vendors on social media.
You need to also make sure you get your formalities right to change your name. Now that you are married you will have an addition to your maiden name. Make sure to check out the formalities to get it done and get your name changed.
Something that most brides look forward to doing is to enjoy a piece of their wedding cake. But they forget to cut a piece of your wedding cake and freeze it.
It would be nice for brides to remember to thank their guests or at least those who gifted them with gifts. The excitement of opening gifts is so much that brides often forget to send out thank you notes for those who have presented the gifts.
Brides also often forget to select the best wedding photos and get the wedding album ready. It is only when friends and family begin to enquire about the wedding album that you remember to get this done.
A lot of vendors remain unpaid after the wedding as brides forget about the outstanding payment. Make sure to note down the pending payments and get it done as soon as possible.
Parents play a big role in their child’s wedding. Whether it is financial support or just help with getting everything done, bride’s often forget to take parents out for a meal as a gratitude for everything done for them.
There may be a lot of people who could not attend the wedding for whatever reasons. These people will send you messages on social media or via email. Brides often forget to check their mail and respond to these messages.
There may be certain legal formalities involved like getting a copy of your marriage certificate. Forgetting this can lead to issues with documentation. Make sure to remember to get all your legal work complete after the wedding.
