The wedding is over, you’re officially husband and wife, and you’re back from your honeymoon. No more excessive planning and stress! According to The Knot, the average engagement time is around 17 months, meaning couples spend more than a year and a half devoting their lives to wedding planning. It should be a relief to be done, right? But once you get back from your honeymoon, you suddenly find yourself with free time. So what are you supposed to do now?! Not to worry -- plenty of tasks still await! Here is your list of items to take care of after the big day to avoid the post-wedding blues!
The Basics:
- Send thank you notes. (Proper etiquette says that you should have thank you notes in the mail no later than two months after your wedding date.)
- Send change-of-address cards.
- Follow up with photographer regarding proofs and album.
- Follow up with videographer for video song selections and video viewing.
- Clean and store your wedding gown. (Contact the store that you purchased your gown from for possible deals.)
- Update your Will.
- Send a wedding announcement to your local newspaper.
