Tip of the Day: Most brides need two or three alteration sessions before the wedding, so set realistic expectations from the start. Your alterations pro will be super-conscientious about every little detail, ensuring smooth seams, the right hem length, and more, so you may need to go back a few times for the perfect fit.

Tip of the Day: As a precautionary measure, always take it off when you are applying lotion, hair products, or cleaning products around your home. All of the oils can cause a film to build up on your diamond. If you only have a few minutes to clean it before heading to a party or event, try wiping it with a lint-free cloth. If you have more time, you can soak your ring in a solution of dishwashing liquid and water for 30 minutes, then scrub out dirt gently with a soft brush.

Tip of the Day: Try writing "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" instead of "The Smith Family" if you only want to invite the parents. Also, create an RSVP line that says "___ of ___ guests" and fill in the second line before mailing them out. If anyone tries to RSVP for more people than you intended, you're going to have to give them a call. Explain that your venue has a strict guest count limit and as much as you would love to have them all there, it isn't possible, and you're sorry they misunderstood the invitation.

Will your reception be held at a private location...or in a restaurant among other (gawking) guests?" says Marilyn Cairo from Ask Me, Inc., a destination wedding company.
