Get well organized
The first and essential thing is to mark on your calendar the date of each wedding . Seeing them together will give you the perspective you need to know how much is left for each one and will help you carry things on time. You will also avoid silly mistakes, because sometimes the dates and names dance for us and you do not want to appear in the city that is not. Be a responsible guest and start thinking about everything in advance. Do not plan things between weddings and weddings, because if any complications arise, time will be on you.
Assess if you can go
If you have many weddings in a very short time and you cannot go to all of them, value your relationship with each couple. If you are not too close, you can say no and no one will be offended. If you do, you can also send a gift to the bride and groom as a detail. Surely they will not expect it and they will be excited, even if you do not go.
Plan the trip in time
The trip is what you need the most advance. You are still lucky and a wedding is celebrated nearby, in your city or in the surroundings. If so, talk to other attendees and share a car. Paying gas together will save you some money, and the trip will be much more entertaining. If, on the other hand, the celebration is far away and you have to go by train or by plane, buy the tickets as soon as possible. You will surely find offers and the trip will be cheaper.
Costume
A wedding always likes to go with a new outfit, but when you have several parties and little time, it is healthier for the pocket to repeat the dress . Also, the important thing is the bride and groom, and everyone is going to be looking at them, not at you.
This does not mean that you are going to go exactly the same as all of them. It all depends on the type of wedding: whether it is day or night, more or less informal, in spring or summer … You can use different accessories to give your style a unique touch, change your hairstyle or makeup. Play with what may be different each time.
Another option is to choose a suit by pieces that you can combine. More and more women choose long skirts or even pants. In this case, you can change the top and look for blouses that fit what you want each time. Finding a top is much cheaper than a full suit, and gives more possibilities to reuse it.
If you still want to change the outfit, there are ways to do it. Talk to friends or family who are similar in size to yours. Surely they have in the closet some dress or suit from other weddings that is in perfect condition. You can borrow it, or propose an exchange and leave them a dress when they need it. There is also the option of renting clothes, something that is gaining more and more popularity. You can rent the entire wardrobe at a fairly affordable price.
The gift
When we have many things to think about, everything comes out a little worse than we would like, and an example is gifts. Many times at weddings we want to give something more than the typical envelope with money, but we run the risk of it looking too generic or going over budget.
But you don’t need to spend a lot of money either. Gather a group of people who attend the wedding, be they friends or family. This way you will have a bigger budget. And it is always more beautiful to make gifts specially designed for the couple. You can look for trips, experiences … The more personal it is, the better. You can also create one of our personalized songs s for the boyfriends. You can do it in 5 minutes, and it is a beautiful way to tell newlyweds how much you love them.
Preparing for a wedding (or for several) is a stress, but in the end it is worth it. Seeing the lovers happy and dancing until we can no longer cure all ills, and leave us with precious memories.
