Time on your wedding day will fly past faster than you could ever have imagined! With so many great things happening on the day you’ll be absolutely amazed at how fast time can disappear.
So, with that in mind, here are some top tips to help take the time-stress out of your day…
Preparation
Take into consideration any extra time-consuming details during this portion of the day. Do you have a gift to open? Or a special moment you want to have with a loved one? Does your dress or tux take an army to get into? Scheduling time for each of these things will help to keep you from losing precious time.
Family Portraits
If not organised, this could be the biggest time drain of the day. In order to avoid that, make sure to provide your photographer with a detailed list of the groups you want portraits of.
Reminding each of those people the night before where to be and when, as well as asking them not to leave that spot until the photographer has finished, could save you your sanity!
Transportation
Booking a party bus if you have to travel on a wedding day keeps your whole party together without having to worry about getting lost, broken down etc. Also make sure that you communicate ahead of time with your driver exactly where they will be taking you, addresses and all!
Skip The Receiving Line
Unless you had your heart set on shaking the hands of 100+ guests, feel free to drop this time consuming tradition. On average it takes around two minutes for each person (some will be quicker, but other guests will naturally want to spend longer with you).
If you are able to go to your cocktail hour that is the perfect time to mingle with your guests and it doesn't take up any extra time!
Trust Your Vendors
When making your selection on which companies you will be hiring to make your wedding day perfect, it is of utmost importance that you are able to put your full trust into the professionals. Micro managing your own wedding can actually cause a delay in the timeline, because you have to focus on the details instead of the celebration of your marriage.
