Stress Free Weddings
Whose Day Is It?
Remember this is your wedding so the day should be about
what you and your partner want. It is impossible to
please everyone when organizing a wedding so don't try.
Please the two most important people, yourself and your
partner. If you really want to avoid upsetting people
try compromising with them over some details of the
wedding.
Planning
Start planning right away. Use a folder/exercise book/index
cards or a computer program to list everything you can
think of relative to your wedding -and don't forget
the honeymoon. List dates when jobs need to be completed
by and check them off once done. Keep a record of everything
-deposits, receipts, phone calls and written confirmation
of any bookings.
Budget
Work out a budget for your wedding and once set try
not to exceed it by more than the smallest of margins.
Wedding costs have a habit of blowing out of proportion.
If you find it hard to keep under budget look for areas
where you can economize. Could you borrow a friend's
car instead of hiring one? A wedding doesn't need to
expensive to be wonderful.
Share the Workload
Once you have a list of everything that needs to be
done before the wedding day, enlist all the help and
support you can. Ask your attendants, family and close
friends to help with various tasks. People love a wedding
and love to be involved so let them.
Problems
Keep problems in proportion. It is not worth upsetting
yourself, and everyone else, over minor details. If
the bridesmaids' shoes are one shade lighter in color
than you wanted it isn't the end of the world. Learn
some relaxation techniques or have a soothing massage
if it all gets too much.
Enjoy the lead up
The time leading up to your wedding is a very special
time but it will go very quickly. Don't spend it going
crazy over wedding preparations or arguing with everyone
within your radius. Don't say things you may later regret.
If you feel yourself losing your cool walk away for
a while and calm down.
Take Time Out
Each week take time out with your partner and agree
not to mention the word 'wedding' or anything related
to weddings. Chill out with a good bottle of wine, a
tasty meal and each other's company.
The Big Day
Finally enjoy every moment of your wedding day. It may
come along but once in your lifetime so savor every
moment of it.
