2014 is here and for many couples, Valentine’s Day and other winter wedding dates are on the horizon and they are surely finishing up their last-minute wedding preparations. While you and your significant other want your special day to go off without a hitch, many couples often overlook the period after the wedding, where you can leave a lasting impression with your loved ones and continue bringing your family and friends close together.
After the champagne has been popped and your wedding favors passed out, think about a few of these post-wedding ideas you can embark on after your nuptials.
1.Make saying ‘thank you’ fun!
“Thank you,” notes will be at the top of your to-do list in the months following your wedding, as you’ll need to reach out and thank your loved ones for their generosity and participation in your special day. Instead of sending out a boilerplate card, consider going through your wedding album to create personalized cards that contain a memorable picture of the recipient. This small touch can go a long way to show how much you appreciate your family member or friend! Additionally, The Huffington Post suggests placing a small card with information about your wedding venue, caterers and entertainment so guests can give them the positive online reviews they deserve!
2.Hold a post-wedding get-together
In the months following your wedding, it may be time to relish your newlywed status and invite your friends over for a post-wedding cooking party. Potlucks are a quick and easy choice that will allow you to concentrate on spending time with your guests instead of whipping up a first-class meal. Be sure to break out your wedding albums and other souvenirs from your nuptials to celebrate your new union, reported Brides Magazine.
3.Wedding party reunion
With all of the time that your wedding parties will spend with one another in the leadup to your wedding, indelible bonds will be forged and lifelong friendships as well. A guys or girls’ night out with their respective wedding parties a few months after your nuptials will be a wonderful way to reconnect with friends and enjoy the company of people who know you and your significant other the most.
