​After your honeymoon, you'll have time to think about how beautiful your wedding was and the wonderful craziness that went into the planning of your wedding. After tying the knot, the wedding responsibilities are not done. Here are the most important details you need to tend to after your wedding.

Send Thank You Notes

Your wedding thank you notes are the perfect way for you to show appreciation for all the gifts you received from guests. You should send a thank you note to everyone that gave you a wedding gift. Furthermore, you should also thank them for attending your wedding. Let them know you appreciated having the pleasure of their company on your big day.

Preserve Your Gown

Your wedding dress is bound to get a little scuffed up and maybe a little dirty throughout the big day. When you are walking down the aisle, dancing the night away, greeting guest ,cutting cake and having dinner you may get something on your dress. Having your wedding dress cleaned and preserved will restore your gown to its original beauty and it will store it in an heirloom-worthy box.

Change your Name

If you or your fiance are planning on changing your last name after you get married, you have a lot of hoops through which to jump. Legally changing your last name through your local court is a rather simple process, and you can get all the paperwork you need before your honeymoon. There are services that will change your name legally for you. However, you don’t want to forget about all the other official documents upon which your name appears, such as credit or debit cards, driver’s license, health insurance paperwork, 401K beneficiaries, W2 forms and work email. 

The after wedding items are important steps that shouldn't be missed. Happy marriage life!
