When planning an Arizona intimate wedding (often called a micro wedding), there's a ton of help out there for brides. But I wanted to give some help to the grooms! There’s all kinds of unexpected things that can happen during a micro wedding, so it’s always best to be prepared. Read on for my top three tips to help the guys survive a wedding day! 

Don’t Party Too Hard the Night Before an Arizona Intimate Wedding! 

This one can seem like a no-brainer, but it’s one of the most important! Weddings can be stressful and tiring events if you’re not well rested. And, partying the night before can make you really tired, especially if you get to bed super late! Too much alcohol can make you dehydrated the next day, and in Arizona, the heat will get you at an intimate wedding! This could make things worse. Instead, turn in early, and go light on the alcohol. You’ll thank me for this.

Pack Snacks and Water

Micro weddings are usually fast events. They come and go very quickly, but that means that most people are uncertain of the work that goes into them, and the appetite that they can create! So, don’t forget to pack some water or snacks to help you hold out when you’ve not had the chance to eat in awhile. And like I said, Arizona heat can make an intimate wedding difficult, so make sure you’ve packed some water!  

Develop Tie Tying Skills

Not everyone knows how to tie a tie. It’s true! So, make sure that you’ve at least practiced a few times before actually showing up to your wedding. If you’re having trouble, don’t feel ashamed to reach out to friends or family to help you. Or, if this won’t work, you can check out youtube! There are tons of tutorials to help you!  

And there you have it! These are my top three tips to help a groom get through his wedding in one piece! Can’t wait to see you get married!
