WEDDING DONT'S

1. Don't Be Super Bride - You can't do it all by yourself.  Believe it or not people do want to help all you have to do is ask.  Divide your tasks and conquer.  Even the small items on your To Do list can eat up your valuable time.  Running errands, calling vendors, attending expo's, can all be things your bridesmaids or groomsmen would be happy to do for you.
   
2. Don't ask for Cash instead of Gifts.
3. Don't plan a wedding for everyone else - it's your wedding plan it for you and your future husband or wife.
4. Don't stress over the little things. Take a deep breath and try to savor these moments how you plan your wedding together is a great reflection on your relationship. If you stress over the small stuff now chances are that this is how it will be when you are married.  Show your future spouse  how calm cool and collected you can be.
   
5. Don't drink too much. You'll have people bringing you Champagne all day. Just take a sip here and there, but pinch yourself to stay in the moment. You'll want to remember all of it. That goes for guests, too.
6. Don't forget to offer a vegetarian option at dinner.
7. Don't seat divorced parents at the same table. YIKES!!!
8. Don't go over 5 minutes on your toast.
9. Don't forget to send thank you notes.  Try to send the thank you notes as soon as you can 5 weeks is the general guideline.
   
10. Don't skimp on your honeymoon you will regret it.

DO ENJOY YOURSELVES - DO SAVOR EACH MOMENT - DO BE KIND TO EACHOTHER & YOUR GUESTS!!
