Grab some fresh fruit or a mini bagel.\u00a0 Eat as much as you feel comfortable with (even if you &#8220;aren&#8217;t a morning person&#8221;) but eat something!\u00a0 I suggest small portions all throughout the day.\u00a0 It will keep your blood sugar steady but won&#8217;t leave you feeling full and bloated.<\/p>\n<p>Designate someone in the family whether it is an Aunt or close family friend to be in charge of bringing the food for the bridal party to munch on.\u00a0 Have them meet you at your hair salon where your girls will be spending the afternoon pampering.\u00a0 Arrange for easy finger foods such as cheese and crackers and veggies and ranch dip for a quick bite to grab while you are getting makeup and hair done.<\/p>\n<p>Realistically, I am not asking you to sit down and eat a full 4 course meal on your wedding day. I realize that there is no time for this and who would want to walk down the aisle, in the dress of their dreams with a food baby? But I am warning you not to put food last on your agenda.\u00a0 Make a conscious effort to sit down with your bridesmaids and enjoy yourselves while eating some small homemade turkey sandwiches.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/cheesetray.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1504\" title=\"cheesetray\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/cheesetray-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"cheesetray\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/cheesetray-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/cheesetray.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/veggie-tray.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1505\" title=\"veggie-tray\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/veggie-tray.jpg\" alt=\"veggie-tray\" width=\"264\" height=\"223\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/mini-bagels.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1506\" title=\"mini-bagels\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/mini-bagels-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"mini-bagels\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/mini-bagels-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/mini-bagels-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/mini-bagels.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>** On your special day dont deprive yourself&#8230;enjoy yourself.\u00a0 Sure you have spent the last 4 months on a treadmill, counting calories but today is your big day!\u00a0 You are not going to change your body shape or size in 8 hours.\u00a0 I always encourage brides to bring along a comfort food\u2014whether it is poptarts&#8230;sunchips&#8230;peanut butter and jelly&#8230;anything that makes you happy!
