Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue-hopefully planning your wedding does not make you blue. Planning a wedding can be an exciting time for all family members involved. However, it can also be a stressful time as so many decisions have to be made. You may be asking yourself questions, such as how can I include my step father in the wedding, or how do I get my guests to RSVP? The following are tips to make planning your big day less stressful.
Avoid broadcasting the news of your engagement to social networks before sharing with your family. Parents and children from a previous marriage should be told first before the news is public knowledge. Determine your budget. Decide how much you can afford and are willing to spend. This will help you prioritize major decisions, such as the number of guests and the venue. Create a detailed list of everything you want included in the wedding. It does not matter how small or inconsequential the detail may seem, make sure to write it down on your list. This is helpful as you can check tasks off your list as they are completed. Collect ideas. Make a private Pinterest Board or clip photos of cakes, flowers, gowns, etc. from magazines and put in a folder. This makes it easier to show vendors exactly what you want. Do your research in order to find the best price and source for various vendors and services. Don’t mention the w-word when first checking prices, as ‘wedding service’ prices may be higher. Ask for wedding help instead of wedding gifts from family members and close friends. Maybe your uncle is a great photographer or your aunt is a wonderful hairdresser and they would love to share their talents with you to help on your special day. Hopefully your guest will take note of the deadline to RSVP, but if they do not it is acceptable to follow up with a phone call or message. After all, you do not want to pay for guest that will not be attending. An agenda is important for all family members, bridal party and vendors on your wedding day. Clear and transparent communication is important to ensure that everyone knows what is expected. You do not want anyone to miss the bridal party photos! When it comes to weddings almost anything goes these days. Make your wedding fit your personal style and taste. Don’t feel the need to follow tradition or please everyone. Remember common courtesy. If someone thinks enough of you to give you a wedding gift a personal handwritten thank you note is still in order.As we welcome wedding season here, it is of great significance to focus on what is most important on your wedding day, committing to a lifelong relationship. May your marriage be as beautiful as your wedding!
