What to do with your "Free Time"

Often when a wedding is just a few weeks away I will ask people what they are doing to prepare. Usually they tell me, "There is nothing left to do. We're just waiting for the wedding day to get here." I would encourage people to utilize that time to double- and triple-check everything. Call the caterer, the florist, the decorator, etc. and double-check that they have the right date, delivery time, etc. So much anxiety the day before and the day of your wedding could be avoided by double-checking these things. Don't just let that time waste and then panic the 48-hours leading up to your wedding. Utilize it to the fullest and let that anxiety wash away with each successful phone call.

Happy planning!

  1. One thing I'd also suggest (in addition to the above, of course), would be to see if you can find great deals on things you've forgone due to funding or hadn't thought of. A friend really wanted a particular container for the cards given to her at the wedding reception. Since the one she originally found was a fortune, she passed up the idea. It wasn't a huge deal, but she could have gone to flea markets or garage sales to see if she could find a cheap alternative. Just a thought!
