15 Clever Wedding Tips Every Bride-To-Be Should Know

6. Don’t let your guests contact you.

Your guests didn’t mean to give you additional burden by calling or texting you for directions to the venue; it’s just that they didn’t know who else to contact. Avoid this by giving them a list of people they can contact instead.

7. Consider food.

Wedding favours are lovely but optional. Now, if you must give out wedding favours to your guests, consider giving them food instead of dust-magnet trinkets that they will never use.

8. Invest in a good pair of seamless underwear.

Aside from being one of the most comfortable types of underwear there is, seamless underwear won’t make you itch, won’t leave marks, and won’t show through your dress in flash photography.

9. Drink!

Always have a glass or a bottle of water near you. A dehydrated bride is not a pretty bride!

10. Plan B

It might rain. Some people might not show up — or people you haven’t invited might arrive. A lot of unexpected things can happen in a wedding, and the best way to solve a problem is to prepare for them.
