1) Don't stress( I know so cliche) The day goes by so fast you won't even remember who you talked to.. more less the little details you are worried about.
2) Don't make your guest wait for you to eat. MY biggest mistake.. Since the wind destroyed my arch before the ceremony we had to wait and take all pictures after the ceremony forcing our guests to wait an hour in our reception area.. And as soon as we got there most people left because they thought they waited to long for us.. Let them eat and be happy!
3) Make sure your guests know what you want them to do.. If you want dancing.. TELL THEM.. don't assume music will get them off their butts (I did and it didn't work)
4) Things will go wrong just know that that will make your day even more special when you can look back and laugh.. Our 1st dance song looped at least three times, we were announced Mr. and Mrs Taylor and I forgot my vows and had to read them...leading me to 5
5) Don't write long sentimental vows. You are standing in front of A LOT of people. Its an emotional day. Its hard enough to say a few lines in front of a lot of people(for most people) add crying to the mix.. It's a tough road!
6) Always have stain remover pen/wipe on hand! You are wearing white you are going to spill something on it!
7) Before you and your husband move in together define and enforce who will do what (Chores, finances, cooking, etc) Once you get in a routine its hard to change and you don't wanna end up doing everything.
8) Watch your grooms mother's cooking! He will expect it to be the same... and nothing else will do!
9) Don't create unreal expectations for the wedding day you will only be disappointed.
10) and finally Smile! Have fun! You are going to be photographed a lot you wanna look your best in them all so if you're having fun it will show through!

#8 is great Amanda...I have come to learn that too and had to tell my Dear Husband not too long ago that I will probably never cook just like his mom but no one will ever cook just like me either. My children will think their mom's cooking is the best! Good thing I dont let it hurt my feelings that I cannot cook as good as his mom. :o) She's definitely a hard act to follow.
That is a great blog! I think you can help alot of people with this!
Ihavent forgotten you eiether. I have just been SWAMPED at work. Soon I will get you some stuff :)
