Wedding days are magical and fantastic, but they are also tiring. Sometimes weddings run late into the evening or there is an after party and you get to bed incredibly late. Then the next morning you need to wake up and catch a plane to your honeymoon. There’s a lot that’s happening in 24 hours and it doesn’t seem like you even get a chance to breathe for a moment. A gap day is exactly what you think. It’s a day in between your wedding day and your departure for your honeymoon. There’s a lot of benefits to adding a gap day. It’s something that my husband and I did after our wedding. We actually had two gap days! There is no need to be frantic either wondering if you really actually have everything packed because you have that time to gather everything you need! Having that day to sit and figure everything out can come in super handy.
Another Reason
You will also have more time to see family that traveled to see you. We had so many family members come into town for our wedding. Family comes from near and far to weddings and most of the time the Bride & Groom only gets to see them for a short moment on the wedding day. If you add a gap day after your wedding this gives you the chance to have breakfast with your family or do something fun with them. This will not only give you a break but it will also make your family feel special and appreciated.
To sum up, adding a gap day can be especially helpful for a few reasons.
You get a breather in between the wedding and honeymoon.
You’ll get the chance to visit with family after the wedding.
You get to double check your suitcase and pack your essentials.
BonusYou can open all of your gifts the day after your wedding which is very exciting!
Those are just a few reasons for taking a gap day. I’m sure you could find more, but it’s one of the best decisions from our wedding!
