by Grit City Weddings

Planning your big day? Don't miss these simple but game-changing tips to help things run smoother, feel less stressful, and look absolutely magical:

  1. Set up a dedicated wedding email

  2. Book your hair & makeup trial on the same day as your dress fitting

  3. Don't forget to plan vendor meals!

Hack 1

Email edition

  • Set up a dedicated email just for wedding planning (e.g., wedding.your-names@gmail.com) to keep everything in one place.

  • Check this email regularly + organize messages into folders. Stay on top of RSVPs, contracts, and vendor updates with ease.

  • Use this email for all vendor communications, newsletters and RSVP confirmations. This keeps your personal inbox clutter-free and your planning stress-free.

Hack 2 

Trial and dress fitting same day

  • Book your hair + make up trial at least one month before your wedding day.
    Give yourself time to tweak your look if needed.

  • Schedule your dress fitting for the same day. See how everything comes together - hair, makeup, and gown - for the full effect

  • Take plenty of photos of the compete look. Review and make any adjustments so you feel 100% confident walking down the aisle.

Hack 3 

Don’t forget vendor meals

  • Confirm with your caterer that meals will be provided for all vendors.
    Photographers, DJs, planners - they all need fuel to keep the day running smoothly!

  • Create a list of vendors who will need meals and include it in your catering order. This keeps everything organized and ensures no one is missed

  • Coordinate with your planner or day-of-coordinator. Make sure vendors receive their meals at the right time without interrupting key moments.
