Avoid Stressful Wedding Planning
While completely stress-free wedding planning may be impossible
, your experience can be almost stress-free by following these simple guidelines:
Take Time Off - If you're like most women who are trying to plan around working a fulltime job, you'll probably be spending most of your weekends making decisions and meeting with your coordinator. However, to keep your sanity, take at least one weekend a month and do the stuff you enjoy - bowling with your girlfriends, exploring new hiking trails, baking your favorite cookies, watching your favorite movies, or other activities you enjoyed before planning became your life!
Stick to Your Checklist - Creating a planning checklist will be a lifesaver in the end! Give yourself reasonable deadlines and stick with them. Not only is it a great feeling to cross off a finished task, but it will also feel very good to have everything done in plenty of time for the big day.
Workout Regularly and Eat Healthfully - Getting into a regular workout routine will not only help you stay fit and toned for your big day, but it'll also give you a chance to get rid of pent-up nervous energy created by all your planning. When you begin to worry, run to the gym and workout your frustrations! Eating healthy foods will help you feel great and keep energized.
Delegate, Delegate, Delegate - You should not be the one planning your engagement party, your bachelorette outing, or your own bridal showers. Let your mother, your friends, and other close relatives work on those activities! They'll love being involved, and you can always provide a list of preferences for them to follow.
Don't Second Guess your Choices - Once you've made a decision, there's no looking back. You loved the item you originally picked, so think about how beautiful it will be on your wedding day! Don't let yourself keep looking after you've already made your decision.
When Overwhelmed by the Big, Work on the Small - When a big decision is overwhelming you, concentrate on the smaller items on your to-do list for a couple days. You'll get a break from the stress without dropping the planning altogether. At the end of those couple days you'll have some small items checked off, and you'll be ready for the big ones again!
Get Together with Your Bridesmaids - They're your close friends and you enjoy their company, so don't allow your planning to make you a recluse! Get together with your bridesmaids over coffee or a meal. Don't allow any talk about the wedding, just fun girlfriend chit-chat.
Visualize your Perfect Wedding - Allow yourself to visualize your perfect wedding day. Leave out any thoughts of disasters or mishaps. Instead focus on your gorgeous dress, the lovely weather, your handsome groom, the beautiful decorations, and the delicious cake. Imagine the day from your first preparations to the last dance of the evening and make sure it's perfect. When you get stressed, revisit your vision for the perfect day!
Wedding planning involves a lot of details which are definitely overwhelming at times. But keep things in perspective as you plan. Take time for fun and enjoy the planning as much as you can!
