1. Learn to say no
Planning a wedding is exciting and fun but it can also be one of the busiest
times of your life. If you don’t want to end up being a nervous wreck a week
before your big day, learn to prioritize and say no to any new commitments that
would take away from other important wedding-related tasks. It’s really ok to
say no every now and then.
2. Become the queen of organization
The more organized you are, the better your wedding planning experience will
be. Keep a digital copy of all of your important documents, contracts and
information in one file on your computer so that you can easily refer back to
them when you need to. If you want to be able to bring important documents
along to meetings with vendors, you can always create a wedding binder that
contains all of the information you need. Plus it makes for a great backup copy
too.
3. Have a little fun
There’s no need for you to be a frazzled bride. Take out your calendar and
schedule a few fun days in-between all of your planning. Make fun and laughter
a priority in the weeks leading up to your wedding. Sometimes it’s important to
come back down to earth and remember why you’re choosing to marry your
partner and that trying to control every single aspect of your day is only going to
leave you wishing it was over. Go out and enjoy an afternoon with the girls
where you don’t talk about the wedding at all.
4. Move your body
Exercise does wonders when you’ve got a lot on your plate and just need to
take a breather and focus on your health. This doesn’t mean that you need to
schedule in an hour at the gym every day either. If you’re strapped for time, a
simple 15-20 minute walk or yoga session will make all the difference to your
stress and energy levels.
5. Just breath
Take a complete timeout from wedding planning as often as you need to. Every
bride deserves a relaxing soak in the tub or a heavenly hot stone massage to
relieve some of the tension she might be feeling. It can be difficult to make time
to simply relax but do your best to find the time, even if it’s just 30 minutes a
week.
