  1. Avoid over-scheduling your honeymoon with activities. Take some time to wind down and just sit by the beach or pool together.
  2. Live entertainment is great, but if you can't afford it, there's really nothing wrong with plugging your MP3 player into some speakers.
  3. Check you can easily move in all directions in your gown. It may help to practise dancing in it (perhaps with your Dad? He'd love it!)
  4. Let each bridesmaid choose her dress style, while you choose the color and fabric. Their faces aren't identical, so why their dresses?
  5. Never buy shoes first thing in the morning. Your feet swell throughout the day, so by midday you'll be thoroughly uncomfortable in them.
  6. Remember to invite your priest or celebrant to the reception as a matter of courtesy.
  7. When planning a beach wedding, bring sunscreen and insect repellent and make sure elderly guests are protected from the elements.
  8. Photos aren't just about people. Close-ups of small details add interest and help to tell a story.
  9. If you want your Thank You cards done in the same style as your invitations, you should order both together.
  10. Check that any members of the bridal party who suffer from hayfever remember to take their medication on the day.
  11. You'll probably be sick of planning before long, so consider going on a cruise for your honeymoon and let them plan everything for you!
  12. Weddings don't have to be in summer! A cosy winter reception with candlelight and mulled wine can be very romantic and memorable.
  13. Nobody's looking at your feet. If you can hide them under your dress, switch to a comfortable pair of shoes for the photos and dancing.
  14. Eat proper meals on the day, even if you're nervous. It's going to be a long day and you don't want to spend your honeymoon recovering.
  15. Make sure your guests have access to a plentiful supply of non-alcoholic drinks, and have at least two or three options available.
  16. If you're making your own stationery, remember to buy extra materials so you can test out different layouts and cover for mistakes.
  17. Mix an occasional slow ballad into your dance music, so the energetic dancers can rest, and the older guests can get up and dance.
  18. Get a few sheets of specialty paper to test with before buying in bulk. Many papers and vellums don't work well with inkjet printers.
  19. Don't get carried away decorating your nails with bright colors and designs. It will draw attention to your hands and dominate the photos.
  20. A piece of chalk is a handy thing to carry with you. It will cover over small spots of dirt on the bride's gown and also the men's shirts.
