5 things you must do right after getting married

It is natural that after the wedding, you are likely to relax. At least to free yourself from all the planning hustle.

But there are lots of post-wedding logistics to help you make a smooth transition to married life.

While some of them will require a bit of work on your part, it's best to get them done fairly quickly (like within the first few weeks after your big day). The longer you wait, the harder it may be to get motivated.

We came across the list of top things, a couple must do post-wedding.

Send thank you note to your friends and families

Whether you had a local or destination wedding, one thing you need to do is send a thank you note to all your well-wishers. You should write a personalized note to all close friends and family members. For the rest of them, you can get and send a thank you card or a digital card.

Get your marriage license

This is definitely a very important thing to do once you tied knots. If you get married at a destination venue, then your wedding planner will take care of the legal process. If you get married locally or do not hire a wedding planner, then you have to take care of this process by yourself. Register your marriage and get the marriage certificate as soon as you can.

Process to change your name

This is optional, but in some cases, female partners need to change their second and last names after the wedding. For example, a passport is one of the important documents on which you may want to change your name. In some countries, to leverage the benefits of being a spouse, women need to change their names after the wedding. If you are one of them who would like to change your name, start the process for all documents to change the name.

Contact wedding photographer

A wedding is a big event in anyone’s life and this is the reason, the couple calls the best wedding photographer on this day. The next step has to be getting those photographers. Thus, finish the formalities and get the album of wedding photographs for yourself.

Organize finances

Hopefully, you discussed finances prior to the wedding, so now is the time to take action. If you plan on merging accounts, now is the ideal time to do so. We recommend visiting the bank to handle all the paperwork and talking with a banker regarding any questions you may have.
