Finishing Touches Once you return from your honeymoon, you will have just a few things left to do. If you have moved, you will need to send out change-of-address cards and tell the post office where to forward your mail. Also, contact your bank, credit-card companies, and the Social Security Administration if you have legally changed your name. Bring your wedding gown and veil to a trusted dry cleaner to clean and preserve them, then store your bridal ensemble in a cool, dry spot.   As soon as the film is developed, you will want to start working with your photographer on creating albums for you and your groom and for both sets of parents.   The final task of writing thank-you notes is one you can complete alone—or share it with your groom, anticipating the many collaborations the two of you have to look forward to in the future.

Of your many tasks, the one that matters most is to enjoy being the bride. To allow yourself this pleasure, you’ll need to master the gentle art of delegating. Remember: Though some people, such as members of your wedding party, know they are expected to help you plan, you still want to use tact and grace when asking for and accepting help.

A natural place to start delegating is with your groom. But first, know that tradition already dictates some tasks for him: purchasing the wedding bands, choosing his groomsmen and their attire, buying gifts for his attendants, making appointments for the marriage license and blood tests, organizing transportation to and from the ceremony and reception, arranging for the officiates payment, and planning the honeymoon.

Like many grooms, yours may wish to expand his involvement. After all, the wedding is an expression of you both. Some things you’ll want to do together, such as setting a budget, drawing up the guest list, organizing your ceremony, composing your vows, and registering for gifts. Other tasks you’ll want to tackle separately before making the final decision together. The groom who is a gourmet cook, for instance, might select the caterer; the bride who is a gardener might enjoy finding the florist.

Then there will be responsibilities that may be attended to by others. Consider each person’s strengths and interests as you decide how to divide the to-dos. If your father is a musician, for example, ask him to look for a band. You might ask your mother or future mother-in-law to handle the publishing of your engagement or wedding announcement in the newspaper. Your bridesmaids will likely enjoy—and appreciate—helping you choose the dresses they’ll wear.
