10 Steps to a Stress Free Wedding Day
Written by Patrice Mathews © 2006

1. Hire a Wedding Day Coordinator. No one can successfully be a Bride and Coordinator on the wedding day. It’s ok to plan your wedding yourself, but hand over all the details to an experienced Coordinator, so you can relax and enjoy your wedding day.
   
   
2. Get Organized. Gather items, such as, pictures, swatches, checklists, budget and attendant information, into one place, like a binder.
   
   
3. Stick to your budget. When establishing your budget, plan a little lower than what you can afford so you can have some breathing room for unexpected costs. Remember: a budget is no good if you abandon it when it becomes inconvenient or uncomfortable.
   
   
4. Give yourself time to plan. Make the most of one of your best resources – time. Ideally, allow for at least 9 months to a year to reduce stressful time constraints in planning. Also, having more time to plan will go easier on your budget.
   
   
5. Remember the purpose of your wedding day. Celebrate the love between you and your fiancée and the bond you share with family and friends. Don’t stress if something does not go as planned (and it will). Your wedding will be wonderful as long as you keep the true purpose at heart. Remember: a wedding day is not just about food, favors and flowers, but your love and commitment to each other.
   
   
6. Limit Advice. If you tend to be indecisive with decision-making, call on one or two trusted individuals for advice during planning. Choose individuals who can be objective enough to advise you on what you desire for your wedding and not their own desires.
   
   
7. Stay Balanced. Though it’s not suggested you start a business or build a home while planning your wedding, try to stay balanced with the normal activities of life: family, friends, church, work, physical exercise, social activities; as much as possible.
   
   
8. Cherish ALL relationships. Treasure both old and new relationships that you will want to be there after the wedding day. Don’t become a Bridezilla, which is a Bride who is exceptionally selfish, greedy and obnoxious. Be open and honest about your desires but in a respectful way. Remember: it does not matter how aesthetically beautiful a wedding is, if relationships are strained.
   
   
9. If all else fails, keep it simple. Be realistic, not idealistic. Simple is not necessarily cheap. Simple can be enjoyable, tasteful, but most importantly, hassle-free.
   
   
10. Delegate. Oftentimes, couples (especially Brides) become overwhelmed by trying to do everything themselves in order to maintain control. Delegate duties to your wedding party, family, friends, and yes, even the Groom! Realize that you cannot do or control everything. When you try to do it all, you end up stressed, fatigued and disconnected from others.
