General

• When hiring services for your wedding, never assume anything! Discuss everything with the professionals and get it in writing. If you have any unique requests, a reminder will ensure that your expectations are met.
• Take your own ribbon for bouquets and centerpieces to the florist. Shop at hobby, craft and discount stores to find the best deal.
• Don't wait until the day of the wedding to break in new shoes. Wear them around the house to get used to them.
• Look in consignment shops for bridesmaid dresses. You can often find current styles for a fraction of the price.
• Got leftover wedding cake? Divide and freeze it! Save some of it for your first-year anniversary.
• Looking for ideas in the initial planning stages? Look through magazines. Attend Bridal Fairs. Hire a wedding planner.

Reception and Party Tips

• Bring along a pair of ballet slippers to the reception. They'll give quick relief for tired, achy feet while dancing. - Janice - Flagstaff, AZ
• Assign a box for mementos such as engraved wine glasses, cake knives, etc. and have them all put in that box after the reception so they're not lost or accidentally thrown away. - Lauren - Omaha, NE
• When renting a limo, if you need more than one car, ask for a group discount. - Elly - UK
• Exchange ideas with other couples. Find out what they considered, what they decided, and why.

Honeymoon

• Hide your getaway car. If you're going to be driving, don't allow the vehicle that you'll be taking on your honeymoon to be decorated because it's a hassle to drive and clean it up after the festivities. - Jessica - Colorado Springs, CO
• You don't have to leave for your honeymoon right away. Allow a few days to get some rest, open gifts, pack your suitcase, return the tux, and take your dress to the cleaners.
