give her a facial and take her out to eat oh and take her to get her nails and toes touched up so not chipped paint or anything
Wow I was about to start typing all the little knick knacks, but all I can say is make her a nice special breakfast, make her a basket of things she can use on the night of her wedding. Scented candles, lotions, oils and get some basic white pillow cases and get Mr. So and so and Mrs. So and so embroidered on them. Think sentimental…
have some calming tees, small snacks- fresh fruits, she probably won’t have much of an appetite and be out of her mind with nerves…. ok, maybe some champange or processco for the same reason.
take lots of photos or make some videos for her for later, she will probably already have had her nails and stuff done.
maybe one of her favorite movies to watch? laughter and calming and distracting?
do you have a girlfriend who is a whizz at doing hair or makeup? maybe you can introduce them if she is willing to do you a favor (try it out beforehand- the bride needs to know what to expect)
when in doubt, ask her or even her finance how you can make the morning special and calming.
One of the things that I’m sure she’d appreciate is doing a tradition that all of you have done before – it will be her last morning as a “miss”, so you should try to do the things that you know she all ready likes, and that won’t stress her out. Before my sister got married, we gave her all of the essentials for the wedding night (massage oils, etc), and made her breakfast.
Some food ideas that don’t require much skill –
Beignets (french doughnuts, about six ingredients, whip them up the night before and forget about them until you’re ready to fry)
Simple parfaits (fresh fruit, yogurt)
Etc.
Why don’t you look up home recipes and stuff online for facials, pedicures and manicures etc.. You can find lots of really simple “spa treatments” online using stuff you already have in your kitchen.
Take her out for a manicure/pedicure, and to get her hair done, if that has not already been taken care of. Fix her a gift bag of something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. Prepare a delicious brunch of her favorite breakfast foods, and let her take a bubble bath!
People have suggested facials are misinformed.
Facials should be done several weeks before the wedding day.It can cause breakouts.Do not do it that day.
A mani/pedi would be nice unless she has already taken care of that.
I suggest food and friends.No or very little alcohol before the wedding.
She should also have some time to relax .
