The Wedding Season

Spring is fast approaching and that means that the prime wedding season is right around the corner. Whether you’re planning an April wedding or a September wedding, once the weather turns warm, you’re completing with millions of other brides for resources. While some brides have well over a year to plan their dream wedding, others may only have weeks or months. No matter how long you’ve had, chances are your beginning to feel the crunch as the big day approaches. Here are a few tips to help brides that are quickly approaching their wedding day complete all the last minute touches without going into stress overload.

1) In order to save your sanity on the big day, be sure that your wedding minister, wedding clergy, justice of the peace or wedding officiate have a back-up in case of emergency. There is nothing worse than a room full of your closest friends and family and no wedding officiator to marry you. You can always visit the Clergy Network to find an emergency wedding minister if this happens – but play it safe and contact them now to find out the particulars.

2) Get your thank-you notes ready now! Nothing is worse than coming home from your honeymoon to a stack of unfinished thank-you notes. If you have received a gift before the wedding, do the smart thing and write the thank-you note immediately. Another clever idea is to have pre-printed cards made. Companies like The Wedding Helpers.cceasy not only print custom greeting cards, wedding invitations and wedding favors, they also offer a wide array of stationery, thank you cards, address labels and other wedding accessories.

3) If you expect to go from Ms. to Mrs. by the time you return from your honeymoon, then begin the name change process now. The Name Change Kit can make changing your name simple and easy. I encourage you to visit their Web site at http://www.thenamechangekit.com/ for details – but I guarantee this will save your time and sanity.
