Don't Panic - Tips for keeping calm on your wedding day!

When it comes down to it, your wedding may be the biggest day of your life. Sure, there are other important events, but when it comes to a life changer this is about as big as it gets. While you may be a bit nervous on your wedding day, this is something that is natural. Luckily, there are several things that you can do to keep calm on your wedding day. If you know what to do and when to do it you should be able to control your nerves so that you can relax and have fun.

Start Calm to Stay Calm

The ability to keep calm on your wedding day starts the moment that you wake up. Many people wait until they get to the ceremony to try to calm themselves down, but in the end this is a big mistake. The first thing that you should do when you wake up is have a good breakfast. Make sure that you eat healthy, and that the food includes both proteins and carbohydrates. Even if you do not have a big appetite you should try to eat something. A little food will go a long way in calming your stomach on your wedding day.

Make a List - Check it Twice

Next, being prepared is essential on your wedding day. The majority of people who get nervous are having thoughts about what needs to be done, and if everything has been taken care of. Make a list and give it to your wedding day helper. (Perhaps your Maid of Honor) You need to make sure that you have everything planned out so that you can relax on your wedding day.

Don't Rush It

Also, allowing yourself enough time to get prepared and make your way to the wedding is very important when it comes to staying calm. Imagine how much pressure you will be under if you get up late on your wedding day? Not only will this give you less time to get ready, but it will also put a lot of stress on you. Instead of letting this happen, wake up with plenty of time to spare, and also leave for the ceremony early enough to beat anything that may come up.

Have Fun

Finally, you should enjoy your wedding day. You can never predict when the unexpected happens. (That's why its unexpected!) You can't control everything. Trust that everyone will do their part to make your day perfect. Remember, this is the greatest day of your life, and you deserve to have fun. And of course, when you are having a good day your nerves will be the last thing on your mind.
