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.
