Are you recently engaged? If so, congratulations! The most exciting time of your life is here — planning the dream wedding you have always wanted since you were little! However, it can be very easy to feel overwhelmed during the planning process, as there are so many things to do! Between choosing your wedding decor, asking your bridal party, and choosing who to invite, there is so much to do!
So, to really enjoy this time in your life, here are some tips and tricks on how not to get overwhelmed when planning a wedding!
Involve the least amount of people as possible
While it can be easy to ask for other people’s advice, it can be exceptionally overwhelming dealing with other people’s opinions. You may feel torn and even that you have to change your plans to make someone else content with what is happening, and that should not be the case. Take a step back and remember, this is you and your partner’s day, not anyone else’s.
Stay organized
Keeping a separate binder of all your wedding information is a surefire way to keep the stress at bay. Simply section off the binder for different parts of the day — such as getting ready, transportation, the ceremony, the reception, and the honeymoon — and file everything in their own category. It is also a good idea to have your own email for the wedding so all correspondence will go to one place.
Choose wedding rentals
Wedding rentals take the stress out of buying everything for your wedding that you will not use again. All you have to do is contact the rental supplier, and they will show up with everything you need on the day of, and usually clean up so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
Enjoy yourself and take breaks
Planning a wedding is supposed to be fun, not overwhelming! If you are not enjoying your process, take a break and relax. Don’t worry, the wedding will go on without a hitch no matter what, so take a step back and breathe once in a while!
