The Wedding is Over... Now What?

So you gracefully made it through the engagement, wedding planning, and wedding day and it's time for the honeymoon and relaxation. Sort-of. Here we are going to outline a few of the things you will want to prepare yourself ahead of time to do after the honeymoon.

4 Things to keep in mind to do After Your Wedding

Yes, you do deserve to unwind after all that wedding planning! And, hopefully, you have actually consulted with a honeymoon specialist and decided on a location long before now. But once you get back to Columbia SC from your honeymoon there are several things you're going to have to wrap your head around.

First, wedding thank you cards. Sending thank you cards doesn't need to be a headache if you are proactive about it. Take your thank you card images at the wedding so that part is completed. Determine how many of your guests made it to the occasion and print out a postcard size of the picture. If you wish to write a personal message on the back, grab a sharpie! It really is that basic. But don't forget to do it. Many brides don't send their thank you cards until up to a year after the wedding, if at all.

Next, comes the moving in together part. You may or may not already be living with your partner when you return from the honeymoon, but regardless, you'll most likely need to figure out all of your things. Do not procrastinate and leave a bunch of boxes in the garage and/or attic. After the wedding, sort through your things! There are some pretty cool suggestions about how to consolidate here.

Among the most important things you can do for your marriage is to go to counseling. Begin right away! It'll make your relationship stronger and prevent unhappy things from occurring in the future. So soon after you get back from your honeymoon, do some therapist shopping, choose one the both of you like, and book an appointment!

And finally, what are you going to do with your bridal gown? This is one of the last things you need to consider. Put it in a bag and throw it in your closet until some of the other things are completed. Ditch the Dress is a popular choice these days and there are certainly some really cool and imaginative ways of going about that. Keeping the dress in the attic until your daughter gets married is a classic selection too. There are lots of lovely creative ways to keep your bridal gown from the attic though. Chances are, you spent an arm and both legs for your gown and you felt like royalty in it. Why hide it away? Display your gown for all to see! Here are some really cool ideas.

 

While it could seem like mission accomplished when the wedding's over, there is still a bit more to do. However if you are diligent and thinking ahead, the after-math shouldn't be too much of a headache.
