7 Tips For The Night-Before-The-Ceremony

DO get enough sleep.  You'll be on your feet through most of your exciting and demanding wedding day with greeting, mingling and dancing.

DO take time to visualize each step of the day beforehand.  This will calm you and give you a chance to anticipate any hitches.

DO leave enough time to bathe, dress and reminisce with family.  Take time to talk privately with your parents and tell them that you appreciate all that they've done for you.

DON'T bring along too many personal items to the ceremony; you'll just worry about them.

DO have a small meal or a snack of cheese or fruit before you leave for the ceremony.  Don't risk feeling faint at the altar.

DO snap a few photos of the last hours at home.

DON'T panic if you fall behind schedule.  The ceremony will wait for you.  Remain flexible and calm.  Guests want to see you smile.  Looking and feeling your best is more important than starting on the dot.

ASK BEVERLY: How can I make my soon-to-be husband feel special?

1. Order a Groom’s cake, but make it really unique to him.

2. Let him pick some of his favorite songs for the DJ or band to play at your wedding.

3. Do something unique with the “garter” – use his favorite scent or put a special treat in the garter for him to find.

4. Have snacks and drinks for him and the Groomsmen before the ceremony

5. Direct questions to both the Bride and Groom – ask questions specifically of him when profiling

6. Let him give suggestions and incorporate those ideas

7. Pick some part of the reception or ceremony and ask him to “surprise you” with his own idea. Let him design it and put his ideas into play! You may be surprised!

8. Send a gift to his hotel room the night before your wedding or to him the morning after his bachelor party.

9. Let him pick the menu – the best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, after all!

10. Send his parents or his mother flowers and a card thanking them for raising such a wonderful son.

11. Send him a sweet text before the ceremony.
