10 Things A Bride Should Know Before Her Wedding Night

After all the wedding planning, rituals, and getting married to each other, now it’s only two of you celebrating your first night as a married couple.

The first night of your wedding is something you will remember for the rest of your life. Whether it’s an arranged marriage or love, there are so many things a bride should know before her wedding night.

Here are some tips to keep in mind: 

1. Know Your Customs

Before anything, you need to know your customs as different religions have different customs for the first night. For eg. there’s an old practice by Bengalis in which the newlyweds are not allowed to sleep together or consummate their marriage. They sleep in different rooms and the next morning bride goes to meet her mother and only after this, the couple celebrates their first night together.

2. The First Time Will Be Awkward For Both Of You

Doesn’t matter if it’s a love marriage or an arranged, the first night is going to be little awkward and that’s completely normal. You may feel uncomfortable while he undresses you or kisses your lips. Just take it easy, relax and enjoy this very special moment!

3. Pick Some Comfy Lingerie

Not everything that looks beautiful is comfortable and if it’s not comfortable, you can’t enjoy. So make sure you pick the most comfortable nightwear for this special moment. 

4. The Night Is Not Only About Sex! 

It’s a myth – first night is all about sex, but it’s not true. There’s a lot you can do beyond just having sex on your first night, like you two can talk about the wedding, kiss each other million times, or hug tightly. Make this a night full of beautiful and unforgettable moments.

5. Go Slow 

Start with foreplay and explore each other’s body before directly jumping into sex. Sex should be fun and pleasurable, and not something which is done forcefully. Do it when you are ready and comfortable.

6. The Wetter, The Better

It’s always a good idea to apply a lubrication lotion for the first few times, it makes sex easier, less painful and enjoyable.

7. You Will Learn Every day

Even if you think ‘you-know-it-all’ after reading books or watching movies, there will still be something that you will learn only after you experience it yourself. Keep improving and exploring each other. 

8. Know About The Contraception

If you are not planning for a baby immediately after the wedding, you must know about ways to prevent pregnancy. There are many things for a woman to consider before she starts taking these birth control pills and its pros and cons. Click here to know more about contraception.

9. Communicate With Each Other

If it hurts or makes you happy, you must communicate it to your partner. Sex is a two-way play, it’s important for him to know what you expect from him and he won’t know until you tell.  Sex is wonderful once you are comfortable with the person you are having with.

10. Take Tips From Married People

There’ll always be an elder sister, cousin, sister in law, married friends or your mother who is ready to give you tips and clear your doubts about your wedding night, like what precautions you need, common things to keep in mind, etc.
