The Hitch September 2014
For our 2014 couples, you are down to the final countdown! Can you believe it? As always,
this year has flown by! Whether you have been planning for over
a year or for just a few weeks, we want to make sure we pro-
vide you with some helpful hints to get through that final
push. For our 2015 couples, you s ll have some me, but the new year will be here before
you know it! Check out this AMAZING ar cle from The
Huffington Post about planning for the last month before you
say, “I do.” It includes important items like ge ng your marriage license and finalizing with your
vendors, but I like that it also
focuses on the couple. It’s im-portant to do a hair and make up trial anf to try on your a re with accessories and shoes before the
day of to avoid surprises. Take me to think about your well
being, and don’t forget to eat! You don’t want to turn into a bridezilla just because you’re
“hangry!” Bo om line: this check-list should help you keep you on
track, but the last month you need to focus on your stress lev-
el. Make sure you do what you can to stay calm, and enjoy this
process.

COMMITMENT
Being in a bridal party is a com-mitment time wise and finan-cially. Katelyn and I have seen some of our couples extremely stressed out during the pro-cess because their bridal par-ties are making things stressful for them. Make sure that all of the people you ask can afford the attire, time off of work for all activities (engagement par-ty, shower, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and re-hearsal), and that they know what you expect of them as a bridal party member. This will save a lot of headaches.
Who do you want to stand up with you on one of the most important days of your life? Getting engaged is such an exciting experience, and you’re going to want to include every-one special to you. Consider a few things before you ask the 10 people you are closest to right now. Take a chance to look at this wonderful article from The Knot for tips on pick-ing your bridal party.
