Alright, listen up, young’uns! Planning a wedding, ain’t ya? It’s a big to-do, a real hullabaloo, and lemme tell ya, even the sharpest gals forget stuff. So, yer old Auntie’s gonna give ya the lowdown, the real dirt on what brides often skip their minds on. We gonna talk about 10 things every bride forgets, so pay attention now!
1. The Bling-Blings, Ya Know, Accessories! Everyone fusses over that fancy white dress, right? But then, they forget the sparkly bits! The necklace, the earrings, that thingamajig for yer hair. Don’t be running around like a headless chicken at the last minute! Get yer shiny stuff sorted out early, make sure it matches that dress, ya hear? It’s like putting icing on a cake, makes everything prettier.
2. Gettin’ Folks From Point A to Point B, Transportation! So, you got yer dress, yer bling-blings…how’s everyone getting to the church? And then to the party? Don’t be expecting yer old Uncle Joe to cram everyone into his beat-up pickup! Think about the family, yer bridesmaids, the whole shebang. Maybe a bus? Maybe fancy cars? Just don’t leave ’em stranded, that ain’t right.
- Figure out who needs a ride.
- Book something, a car, a bus, whatever.
- Make a schedule, so nobody’s late.
3. That Piece of Paper, The Marriage License! Now, this one’s a doozy! You can have all the flowers and food in the world, but without this paper, it ain’t a real wedding! Go get it ahead of time, and for goodness sake, don’t forget to actually bring it to the ceremony! Imagine standing there, all dolled up, and no license! That’d be a pickle, wouldn’t it?
4. Eatin’ Grub, The Food! You and yer fella are gonna be busy bees, shakin’ hands and takin’ pictures. But, ya gotta eat! Make sure someone sets aside some food for the two of ya, and make time to actually sit down and stuff yer faces. Otherwise, you’ll be faintin’ from hunger before the first dance! Ain’t nobody wanna see that.
5. Sayin’ Thank You, The Vendor Tips! Those folks who made the cake, took the pictures, played the music…they worked hard! Don’t forget to show ‘em some appreciation. Put some cash in envelopes, give it to a trusty friend or family member to hand out. It’s good manners, ya know? And they’ll appreciate it.
6. Keepin’ Things Runnin’ Smooth, The Emergency Kit! Anything can happen, ya hear? A button pops, a headache hits, someone gets a blister. Be prepared! Pack a little bag with safety pins, pain pills, band-aids, maybe even a spare pair of pantyhose. It’s like insurance, ya hope ya don’t need it, but it’s good to have just in case.
7. Who Sits Where, Seating Chart! Now, this can be a headache, but it’s gotta be done. You don’t want Aunt Mildred sittin’ next to Cousin Billy who she can’t stand. Think about who gets along, who should be close to the dance floor, who needs extra space. Draw a little map if ya have to, just get it figured out, saves a lot of fuss later.
8. The Sweet Ending, The Wedding Favors! Little somethin’ somethin’ for yer guests to take home, a little thank you for comin’. It don’t gotta be fancy, just a little trinket, a piece of candy, somethin’ to remember the day by. Get ’em organized early, put ’em on the tables, or have someone hand ’em out as folks leave.
9. Where Ya Gonna Sleep, The Hotel Rooms! If you got folks comin’ from out of town, they gonna need a place to stay. Book a block of rooms at a hotel, get a good rate. Make sure everyone knows how to book, so they ain’t sleepin’ in their cars!
10. Enjoyin’ the Darn Thing, Relaxing and Taking It In! This is the most important one, ya hear? Brides get so caught up in the details, they forget to have fun. They stress about the flowers, the food, the weather… But it’s yer day! Take a deep breath, look around, smile, dance, and enjoy every minute. It goes by fast, so soak it all in! Don’t be one of them brides who regrets not enjoyin’ their own wedding, ya hear?
