# If one forgot to say [[shehecheyanu]] during [[Kiddush]] on Shavuot, one cannot say it after Shavuot even within the seven days after the holiday. <ref> Chazon Ovadia [[Pesach]] page 134 </ref>  
* Rav Yakov Pollack (cited by Emek Bracha 69c, Yachava Daat 6:30) is quoted as explaining that one shouldn't make kiddush of Shavuot early since we want the temimot of the sefirat haomer to extend to the very end of the 49th day and not end it early. This is cited by Magen Avraham 494:1 and Taz 494:1.
* Netsiv (Meishv Dvar OC 18 cited by Yachava Daat) explains that one shouldn't say kiddush of Shavuot early since regarding Shavuot it says וקראתם בעצם היום הזה (Vayikra 23:21).
* [http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=1770&st=&pgnum=265 Hitorerut Teshuva 3:68:4] writes that one could accept Yom Tov of Shavuot early and it doesn’t impact temimot. He explains the reason not to daven early is because either way we’re going to be up all night so we might as well say [[kriyat shema]] at the right time which is after tzet hakochavim. </ref>Some say one should even wait to say [[Arvit]],<ref> Mishna Brurah 494:1, Taz 494:1</ref> while others argue.<ref> Kaf HaChaim 494:1, Moed Likol Chai 8:23, Sh"t Yechave Daat 6:30 </ref>

# Many have the custom to stay up Shavuot night learning torah in anticipation of accepting the Torah on Shavuot. <ref> Mishna Brurah 494:1 writes based on the Magen Avraham that the practice is to stay up all night to learn. He quotes Arizal who said that one who learns all night on Shavuot will long the next year without being damaged. He also quotes the Magen Avraham who explains that since Bnei Yisrael overslept on the day of Matan Torah we stay up all night in order to rectify that mistake.</ref> Some even stay up the second night of Shavuot in the diaspora. <ref>Kaf Hachaim 494:6</ref>
