You are as excited as ever to be marrying your sweetheart,
but there comes a point in planning most weddings when you start to feel more
than a little overwhelmed. We have some tips to help you get through the stress
and re-energize yourself!
Organize. Use a wedding binder or an app to keep yourself on
track, and make good lists. That way, you won’t get too sidetracked as the
planning progresses.
Take a break. Really! Take an evening and go out with
friends, or have dinner with your sweetheart. Make a promise to yourself that
you won’t talk about the wedding. Just enjoy a dinner, music or movie without
letting wedding planning enter the conversation. Your seating arrangement chart
will still be there in the morning, but you’ll be more refreshed and ready to
attack it!
Stop looking at Pinterest. Once you’ve made your decisions,
give Pinterest a break too. Every idea looks fantastic and you can only do so
many different things. At some point, you have to tell yourself it’s okay to
stop looking. The themes, colors and favors you choose will be perfect for your
wedding, so don’t let yourself get caught up in “Pinterest regret.”
Delegate. Let your future mother-in-law pick up the flowers,
if she wants to. Or give the task of alphabetizing the escort cards to a member
of your wedding party. People will want to help – let them!
Enjoy. Yes, the two of you are planning a very important
event. And yes, you have a lot to balance. But take time to remember why it’s
such an important day and step back and enjoy the process.
