Ideas for a Pre Wedding Jitters Basket
As all of the bride's wedding plans reach their apex, it is common for her to get a case of cold feet. This case of nerves, if it stems from wedding stressors alone, is often cured by allowing her to take a day off from planning and giving her a time to reconnect with her fiancé. Promote this by giving her a pre-wedding jitters basket and fill it with relaxing sundries.

A Spa Day
-
Because most pre-wedding jitters rise out of hectic wedding planning, the ticket to calming her nerves might be a day of intensive relaxation. Provide her and her fiancé with entry to a spa so that they can unwind together. Or, if the spas in your area are too pricey, put together a spa-inspired package such as scented candles, incense, bath salts and massage oil. Because stress affects people emotionally and physically, the strain of the wedding has probably put strain on their muscles.
Compilation CDs
-
Purchase a playlist of songs that will remind her of when she met her fiancé, or simply create a compilation that you know she will love. The gift of music is a special one, as it will take her mind off wedding planning and encourage her to be carefree and creative in her spare time. Design your own disc labels for a crafty look and add a photo of the two of you to the jewel case.

Dinner and a Movie
-
Date nights not only get the bride and her fiancé out of the house, but it gives them time spend together in a way that is completely unrelated to their impending nuptials. Dates also help the two of them remember why they were drawn together in the first place - something that is often overlooked during the whirlwind of planning. To encourage them to have a night off, offer to take care of any wedding-related tasks or questions for the evening.
Champagne and Chocolate
-
At this point in the wedding planning, the bride and groom definitely need a little indulgence. Remind them that they have something to celebrate every day in their love for one another, not only because of their upcoming wedding. Finish off their day of wedding-free pampering with a special treat of champagne and chocolates. This will help them relax and wake up refreshed, ready to continue organizing their wedding day with a new energy.
