(aka Sanity Survival Guide)

Just gonna put this here…Meanwhile we can’t wait for our 2026 clients to get our welcome gifts!

1. Breathe like a bridesmaid’s job depends on it
✨ Tip: Try a 4-7-8 breathing technique. Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale for 8. It resets your nervous system—and your attitude.

2. Hydrate (no, iced coffee doesn’t count)
✨ Tip: Keep a cute water bottle nearby and drink before you email the florist… again.

3. Delegate like a boss
✨ Tip: Your partner, MOH, or even a willing cousin can handle some tasks. You’re the bride, not the project manager of the universe.

4. Move your body, not just your checklist
✨ Tip: 15-minute dance party. Yoga. Walk the dog. Bonus points for pretending you’re walking down the aisle.

5. Have a meltdown. Then glam it up.
✨ Tip: Cry, vent, eat the cookie—and then put on lipstick and keep going. You’re still fabulous.

6. Schedule a “wedding-free” day
✨ Tip: Ban all talk of seating charts and centerpiece drama. Watch trash TV, read a novel, or pretend you’re not engaged for 12 hours.

7. Snack smarter, scream less
✨ Tip: Blood sugar crashes are the real bridezillas. Pack almonds, fruit, or dark chocolate—your guests will thank you later.

8. Get off Pinterest, like now
✨ Tip: You don’t need another bouquet inspiration board. Set a timer. Walk away. You’ve done enough.

9. Remember why you’re doing this
✨ Tip: Take 5 minutes to write a love note to your partner. It’s the antidote to linen rage.

10. Laugh about it—or light a candle and pretend you are
✨ Tip: Stock your space with calming scents, a snarky candle label, and your favorite playlist. Wedding planning may be chaotic—but your vibe doesn’t have to be.
