Getting Ready for Wedding Season: Your Ultimate Prep Guide

With birds chirping and flowers starting to bloom, it can only mean one thing—wedding season is here. And let’s be real, weddings can either be a blast or feel like hours of endless torture. So before you start RSVPing to all the invites piling up in your mailbox, take a look at these tips to help you enjoy the season.

1. Find an outfit you like and stick with it
   No one cares if you wear the same outfit to every wedding you attend. Everyone’s focused on avoiding blisters or dealing with wardrobe malfunctions that could lead to awkward moments. Just pick something you feel good in and wear it to all the events!
2. Bring your best friend as your plus-one
   Who you bring as your date is no one’s business. If you’re allowed a plus-one, skip the formalities and bring your bestie. They’re the one who will keep you entertained and help you survive the night.
3. Pack some snacks
   Wedding food is often a letdown, so stash a few snacks in your bag to keep you going—especially for those awkward moments when you need a little pick-me-up.
4. Have a ready excuse for leaving
   Come up with a funny or convincing excuse for when you want to dip early. “My fish needs a bath” or “I have an early unicycle lesson” will do the trick. By the time you’re ready to leave, everyone else will likely be too drunk to notice.
5. Only attend if you actually want to
   You don’t have to say yes to every wedding invite you get. Life’s too short—go to the ones you actually want to attend. And if you don’t feel like going to any, that’s totally fine too!
6. Don’t forget your meds (including birth control)
   Make sure to keep up with your regular meds, including birth control. And don’t forget to toss some condoms or internal condoms in your bag—you never know when the night might take an unexpected turn!
