We dove deep into the world of wedding hacks and asked hundreds of brides this question : What is your most unhinged wedding hack?
After many hours reading answers, laughing and being shocked at their creativity we complied our 10 favourite hacks that are lowkey not so crazy after all and kinda make sense? Read them, enjoy them and maybe use them.
1. For the guests that are always late.
Have 2 sets of invitations. One for the people who are always on time and one for those who are always fashionably late. The latter receives an invitation with a ceremony time that starts 30 minutes prior to the actual start time.
2. For the guests who get a little too enthusiastic with the bar.
This one’s wild but kind of genius. Share pictures of people you think the bartender should water down drinks for.
3. The secret drink.
Let’s be honest, its not only the guest getting too drunk that should worry you. You and your husband are just as much at risk. Set a bottle of “expensive liquor” aside just for you and the groom to do shots with. BUT...fill it up with water. (Trust us everyone and their grandma will offer to do shots with you)
4. The catfish wedding planner.
Create a fake wedding planner email so you can respond to questions as dry and straight up as you want without needing to save face. (really genius)
5. For the type A girlies.
Hire a cleaning lady to clean up your house while you’re at the wedding. You will have the nicest surprise coming back home to a super clean house after all the wedding chaos the weeks before.
6. A moment for you.
Once you’re all ready with your hair, makeup and dress, lock yourself in the bathroom alone and stare at your self for a moment. That’s the last moment of pure peace for the rest of the beautifully hectic day.
7. Extra AF but sentimental.
Wear a special perfume JUST for the wedding weekend, day and honeymoon. Then, wear it for special vacations, anniversaries and milestones in the future to bring you back to your big day.
8. This one is funny because we tend to forget.
Eat. Somehow it becomes easy to barely get a bite in. The nerves, the excitement, the people but if you want to make on two feet by the end of the night eat queen.
9. A little financial hack!
2 words : Canva and Staples (print shop). Make your cute little designs : menus, seating tags, invitations on Canva and send them to Staples to get printed. Vendors can quote up to 900$ for menu prints only.... Staples offers the same result for 1/3 of the cost (with same day delivery).
10. You CAN have cake and eat it too.
Ask your caterer to pack up two slices of leftover wedding cake to take home. It makes the best post wedding breakfast bite the next morning before heading to brunch.
