Getting married is exciting as well as extremely exhausting. It’s no wonder most couples immediately leave for their honeymoon.
Did you finally return from your wonderful getaway in Yorkshire’s diverse landscapes? Now that you’re back from a quaint seaside village, it’s time to handle a few important things. Here are some tasks you should cross off your to-do list.
Properly Store Your Dress
Did you know that the average amount of money spent on wedding dresses is around £1,500? When you have splurged a few grand on a gown or a tux, you can’t just hang it in your closet. In addition to getting your outfit properly dry cleaned, we also recommend hiring a wedding dress preservation company. Such professionals ensure your dress retains its look over the years.
Apart from the dress, you can also preserve other memorabilia from your wedding, such as flowers and cake.
Change Your Name
Are you planning to take your partner’s name? Do you and your spouse want to double barrel your last names? It’s time to gather all the necessary documents and head over to the UK Deed Poll Office for easily changing your name. The process to change your name isn’t as complicated as you may think.
After changing your name, you should also update your driver’s license, passport and other official documents.
Send Thank-You Notes
Now that you are relaxed and rejuvenated from your honeymoon make time to write thank-you notes for all your wedding guests. Particularly it’s a good idea to send hand-written notes to your bridesmaids, groomsmen, officiant and other wedding party members. It would be best to do this right after opening wedding gifts.
Return Duplicates
There’s a good chance that you will receive duplicates of wedding gifts. Instead of procrastinating, you should return the duplicate as soon as possible. In exchange, you can get something else from your registry.
Get Printed Photos
It typically takes at least a few weeks to get your wedding photos. In addition to posting your beautiful photos on social media, you should also think about getting the best ones printed. You can arrange printed wedding photos in an album.
Catch Up with Friends and Family
It’s no secret that the months leading up to the wedding are hectic. It’s quite possible that you were so caught up in wedding planning that you haven’t spent any time with your friends and family. So go ahead and make dinner plans to catch up with your loved ones.
Thank & Review Wedding Vendors
From caterers and decorators to makeup artists, several professionals came together to bring your dream wedding to life. Since you have more time on your hands, you should personally thank all your wedding vendors. Make sure you have cleared any due payments.
Additionally, we also urge you to leave a review on their website and other platforms. Customer reviews can make a world of difference, especially for small businesses.
Discuss Combining Finances
Clearly discussing finances with your spouse is an essential part of being married. Many couples also start a joint account for their shared expenses such as utility bills, mortgage, childcare, and so on. You and your partner can consider depositing a portion of your monthly income in the joint account. Splitting the expenses equally or equitably entirely depends on what works for your relationship.
Final Words
Understandably, life can feel a little dull after a beautiful wedding and dreamy honeymoon. That’s why focusing on the above-mentioned tasks can be an effective way to deal with post-celebration blues. And before you know it, you and your partner will fall into happy domesticity.
