As you settle into married life, there are still a few important wedding-related tasks that you need to keep in mind.

Putting Off Creating Your Wedding Album
As soon as you receive the proofs from your photographer, start selecting your favorite pictures for your album. Have Post-its ready the first time you flip through your photos - mark anything that garners a reaction from either of you. That way, you'll gauge your emotional connections to your photos better than if you spend hours laboring over which of the 20 shots of you with your MOH is best. Plus: If an album was included in your photography package and you need a little extra motivation to get started, check your contract - there's likely a deadline for when you'll need to submit your photo selections.

Alienating Your Friends and Family
After the wedding, it's natural to want to spend plenty of time with your new spouse - especially if you've just moved in together for the first time. But be sure to make time for the other important people in your lives as well. Schedule regular nights out with friends, take time to visit your family members, and don't stop going out for happy hour with your coworkers. What you don't want to happen: Your first anniversary rolls around, and you suddenly realize you haven't seen some of your friends since the wedding day.

Skipping Vendor Reviews
As a bride-to-be, you likely depended on online reviews to help you find the best vendors for your wedding. Pay it forward by writing reviews for all of the vendors you used - the good, the bad, and the ugly. Write them while the details are still fresh in your mind.

Passing on Insurance
No, we're not talking about your marriage; we're talking about your rings. Specialty items like engagement and wedding rings usually aren't covered by your basic home owners' or renters' insurance policy; you'll need to take out a rider to be protected. Your insurance company will typically request an appraisal of the jewelry, and the annual cost is about 1 to 2% of the replacement cost (ex. a ring valued at $5,000 would cost $50-100 to insure).
