Your wedding is supposed to be one of the best days of your whole life. It is a celebration of your love and commitment to each other as husband and wife. However, sometimes weddings can feel kind of stressful with all of the planning and decisions that have to be made. Here are a few tips for creating positive (and unforgettable) memories at your wedding.
Invite the People You Love
First of all, make sure that you invite the people that you love to your wedding. Of course, your parents will probably add to your guest list as well, so there will probably be some people that you don’t know there. However, when it comes to inviting your own guests, don’t feel pressured into inviting everyone from your high school years, or every last person from your college dorm building or religious group or mission. Make sure that you’re inviting the people that you care about, like your close friends and family. It can be expensive to throw a reception party for everyone you know, and you’ll quickly get exhausted when your reception line is hours long and full of people you don’t care about. So, be intentional and specific when creating your guest list.
Look Good in Your Pictures
Another thing that will help your wedding day to be positive and memorable will be to have great wedding photos. You’ll look back on those photos for literally the rest of your life, so you need to make sure they look great. That means that you need to have a high-quality, professional photographer. You’ll also want to make sure you’re looking your best. If you need to do any treatments to help you look beautiful, make sure they’re scheduled in the weeks before your wedding. For example, you might want to whiten your teeth, touch up your hair, get a spray tan, or have a professional do your makeup. Teeth whitening can be especially important when you’re wearing a white dress. You’ll start noticing a change three to five days after starting teeth whitening treatments.
Don’t Follow Tradition
Finally, if you want to create positive memories at your wedding, don’t feel pressured into following traditions that you don’t care about. There are a lot of traditions that surround wedding culture, particularly in Utah, and you might not want to go through with all of them. For example, you might not want to do a garter toss. You might not want to shove cake into each other’s faces. You might not even want to have a reception line. Remember, even though your wedding day is important for your parents, it is ultimately celebrating your love, so you get to decide which wedding traditions you’d like to incorporate into your wedding.
So, as you’re newly engaged and preparing for your wedding, remember these tips that will help you to have a positive and memorable wedding. Make sure that you invite the people you love, look good in your pictures, and only follow the traditions that you’re interested in. This will help you to create a wedding day that you adore and wish that you could relive again and again.
