Brides-to-be receive a ton of advice, from how to manage the guest list to how to address that little envelope that goes inside the big envelope. But when it comes to, uh, "consummating" (seriously, do people still say that?) their marriage, the popular let-me-tell-you-a-secret nugget of wisdom is too often that a lot of newlyweds simply don't have sex on their wedding night. They say you'll be too exhausted, too drunk, too something. That insight can be empowering — the pressure is off! — but it's also kind of a downer when you haven't even walked down the aisle. So, in the spirit of helping you go get yours, here are some ideas to make sure you and your groom have the after after-party that you two deserve. Have a pact with your new husband to leave the after party at a specific time. The goal here is to walk into your wedding night suite with a few ounces of energy still in you. For example, if your reception ends at 11 P.M., say goodnight to everyone at the bar at 1 A.M. You'll get to squeeze in a few more laughs with your friends without sacrificing your alone time
