• Use a Digital RSVP Platform – RSVPing is an essential part of the wedding planning process. If you don’t know how many guests are going to attend, you won’t be able to plan for how much food you need, tables you should set, or a whole host of other details. Save yourself a RSVP headache by using a digital RSVP platform. These platforms allow your guests to RSVP online, so you don’t have to worry about a RSVP card getting lost in the mail or even entering every RSVP into your guest count spreadsheet. Digital RSVPing also saves paper. 

• Make a Dedicated Wedding Email – You’re going to be emailing a lot of people about your wedding, and really don’t want to miss any important messages in an overfull inbox. Make a new email address specifically for wedding use to help you stay organized and on top of all your wedding correspondence. You won’t need to wade through your personal emails to find that quote from your potential florist! 

• Meet Your Officiant More than Once – The ceremony is the most important part of the wedding. Its why you’re doing the whole thing, after all. However, the ceremony planning is often pushed aside in favor of other details like food and décor. Give your ceremony the attention it deserves by meeting with your wedding officiant a few times before the big day. These extra meetings will allow you to plan your ceremony carefully and thoughtfully and will help you get to know the person who will be marrying you. 

• Make a Cash Registry – If you already have all the plates, vases, wine glasses, and sheets you need, make a cash registry. Instead of registering for physical gifts, ask your wedding guests for cash that you can use on date nights, activities, savings for a down payment, or even on your honeymoon. 

• Add Overflow Tables – You’d be surprised at how many guests bring plus ones when they weren’t given one or didn’t RSVP for one. It’s a good idea to have an overflow table where you can put extra guests you weren’t planning for. That way, you avoid any awkwardness. 

• Set Aside Alone Time with Your New Spouse – Wedding days go by in a blur. Make sure you take a moment to really take it in and enjoy it by setting aside a few minutes of alone time with your new spouse. This can be right after the ceremony, right after the photos, or whenever you’d like.
