Create a list of all the things you need to do, so that you can keep adding points as and when you remember and chalking off the ones you have already done.

You may think you remember them by heart or have saved them in your mobile, but when the moment of crisis really arrives, you are left with no numbers to contact. So, take this task on priority basis!

#3. Re-confirm all your bookings

Just give a call to the venue manager, your makeup artist, the henna artist, the caterer, the DJ and all other people responsible for arranging everything for your wedding celebrations. This will not only assure you that everything is going to happen as per the plan, but will also free you from a lot of worries.

#5. Pack your honeymoon bag

Simply because you might have to leave for your honeymoon immediately after your wedding! And, even if you would be leaving a few days later, family commitments, dinner invitations and other such things, might not give you the time to pack well.

#10. Make your own emergency survival kit

Prepare a kit that has your on-the-go makeup kit, sanitary pads, a set of spare earrings, a medical kit, your specs and lens case, and anything else that you might need during an emergency.

#11. Send your wedding outfit for a steam press

Yes, we know that your designer sent you an ironed piece. But, after being tried on at home and then lying in your closet, it could have got a lot of crease lines. No harm in being safe than sorry!

#12. Keep your bridesmaids informed

Make sure you inform the bridesmaids well in advance about their duties. So, let them know about what time they need to come for the dance rehearsals, take you to the parlour appointments, or anything else, so that there is no confusion later. Other than this, run over the final day schedule through them too!

#13. Write thank you notes for your parents and siblings

Write down nice things that you want to say to them and place the notes under their pillows before you leave. Be sure they are heartfelt. After all, you have an entire week to prepare them.

#14. Arrange for a drivers zone at the venue

It is difficult to organise one at the last moment as you have to get their passes printed, inform the caterers and arrange for a separate area for them. After all, the drivers too have to wait for a long time. So, why leave them hungry and grumpy?

#15. Stop taking crash diets

Unless you want to look completely pale, dull and malnourished on your wedding day, stop all crash diets pronto!

Just one night’s sleep alone will not do you any good. The body needs to adjust to a cycle for it to function well. So, for your own good, stop staying awake late at night as you already are booked for many of them once your functions start.

#17. No heavy exercises

You do not want to walk, sit and dance in a strange way just because you did some heavy workouts at the gym and have severe pain in every muscle of your body, right? So, simply avoid rigorous exercising when you are so close to your big day.

#18. No new beauty treatments

You never know how a new product might react on your skin. So, unless you want an allergic reaction or pimples on your face on the wedding day, avoid any kind of new skin treatments.

Do not try something weird and crazy with your hair at this point of time. An immediate change of look might not turn out the way you wished it would!

#20. Show gratitude to your loved ones

Your parents not only spend a lot out of their life savings on your wedding, but also put in many efforts to make your wedding the most special day of your life. They might get really tired, ill or feel washed out, but they do not let that come on their faces. So, the least you could do is show some gratitude. Thank them, appreciate them and let them know how blessed you are to have them and how much you value what they are doing for you.
