2. Blind date, one last time

This might sound a bit crazy, but hey! You are getting married and blind dating doesn’t really mean you should end up kissing the guy. Do it like a dare! Go out and just talk to a guy, ask him out and go. This sure should stick only till dinner. Anything more than that, can get troublesome.

It is good to fight and when it is close to marriage, needless to say, there would be many fights. But try to fight and patch things up with him. You will know that you can break through him easily even after marriage.

4. Drink, Go Crazy, Party

This will anyway come out on your bachelorette day, but find some noon, gather your friends and go crazy. Wine hopping or pub hopping should make one hell of an evening. Drink, cry, kiss, puke! Do all of this and have a major hangover the next day! It will make a good story to tell in the future.

Move in either with your guy or try living alone before you get married. There is a special feel when you know you are a single person who can manage yourself and the one who doesn’t expect anybody.

9. Go bonkers

It is good to try out every fashionable crazy thing as possible. Get a short hair or a neon striped hair color. Make advancements in your looks and feel great about yourself.

10. Hit the gym

Definitely hit the gym. You wouldn’t want to look all fat and flabby on your ‘The day’. Get fitter and sexier before you walk down the aisle with that amazing bridal piece.
