Washing the dresses worn at the event is one of the first things to do after the wedding. The next day or after a few days is the best time to do that. In case, you rent dresses, bring it back to the owner or the boutique where you get them. But if you purchased the wedding clothes, just clean them and store them to retain the beauty and elegance.

2. Change Your Name and Status

This is an important to remember and do once the wedding is over. It should be done within 90 days from getting married. It is a long process as you have to change your driver’s license, passport, social security card, credit card, and other essential IDs, cards and documents. You can do a lot of these changes via online. But remember that you need some proof of marriage, such as your marriage certificate, to change name and status.

3. Settle Your Financial Information

Do not forget your banks, insurances, and taxes, too. You need to inform each agency about the changes in your name and status. You are now married with a new surname. That makes you joint or equal owners of those stuff. You may continue to file tax income separately or combine both of your taxes. Before you do anything in regards to this, be sure to get some advice from experts, usually an accountant and an auditor.

4. Send Thank You Cards to Your Guests
