- Accompany the bridesmaids to their fittings to make sure the dresses are not altered to be too short, too loose, or too tight.
- Advise out of town members of the wedding party to arrive early on the day before the wedding so you don’t run the risk of missing or delaying the rehearsal.

Have attendants arrive early to get dressed so there is no delay when the photographer arrives and no worry about making the wedding on time.
- Have a spare tape recorder, batteries, and extra tape in case the one you’re planning to use to record the vows acts up.
- Get your marriage license in advance of the ceremony and have it with you on the wedding day. You don’t want to discover on your wedding day that you aren’t licensed to be married!
- Have someone assigned to take care of the last minute details and ensure the bridal party is dressed and ready to go. She can answer the phone, go on errands, and make sure everyone has something to eat before the wedding.
- Practice driving the route to the ceremony at the time of day and day of week to check out traffic patterns. That way you’ll know how much time you’ll need to get to the site.
- Bring along an emergency bag. Include a needle and thread, safety pins, nail polish, hairpins, and extra panty hose. Also tuck in a couple of cookies and some hard candy in case someone needs a quick pickup.
- Try not to stay up late the night before the wedding. Avoid drinking too much alcohol or caffeine so you’ll be at your best all day.
- If something goes wrong, don’t panic. You’ll probably be the only one who notices that the ribbons in the bridesmaid’s bouquets are the wrong color. Don’t let little things ruin your day. Accept the idea that your wedding may not (and in fact, probably will not) go as planned. Always keep your sense of humor!
