Planning the perfect wedding can be a source for a lot of stress for many people and sometimes, even leads to a cancellation of the wedding. Using a few tips, you can avoid the stress and hassles of planning your wedding and keep the joyous occasion filled with joy, instead of negativity.
If children will be attending your reception, consider hiring a babysitter. Having a sitter on site to help coordinate activities and look after the little ones means that parents can enjoy the reception. It also means that activities are planned and readily available for the children to enjoy. If you don't know a sitter in the area, ask the hotel. They might be able to provide one for a fee.
When you mail out your wedding invitations, make sure that you mail them out all at the same time. When guests receive their invitation they are bound to talk to others that they believe will be attending the wedding as well. The last thing you want is for someone to feel left out because they were part of the later batch.
Try incorporating some old traditions and tributes into your wedding. These can be simple like "jumping the broom", eating a loved one's favorite foods, hanging some antiques around the venue, wearing a loved one's favorite color, or wearing something similar that a loved one wore on the day of their wedding.
Consider starting a website or blog about your wedding, and provide a link to your friends and family. Use the website to post updates about your wedding planning all the way up to the big day. This is a great way to keep your loved ones involved and build excitement leading up to the wedding day.
Getting away for your honeymoon sounds great if it's going to be exclusive and secluded, but make sure you're somewhat accessible so if any emergencies arise at home you'll be able to at least know about it. Let your family know exactly where you will travel to, what lodgings you'll stay in and their phone number, how you'll be traveling and flight numbers, and a schedule of dates for your arrivals at various locations.
Find a wedding photographer early in the planning process. Wedding photographers get booked quickly, and you don't want to miss out on a good one because you waited too long. Get in contact months ahead of time to find out rates. Stay in contact with them during the months and weeks leading up to your wedding.
The most important tip to making your wedding the event that you will remember forever is to plan the day that you want. Do not let other people tell you what it is that you should be doing. Make the decisions that you want to make. It is your day!
Using these tips, you should be able to plan your wedding with a minimal amount of stress and almost none of the hassles. It is perfectly natural to have a little stress, but to be consumed by stress over wedding plans, is completely unnecessary and not a good way to begin a lifetime with your partner.
