Get organised as early as you can
The main thing you want to do when wedding planning is to get organised as early as you can. The longer you leave it, the more things can build up and it can feel like you’ve got endless lists of things that need to all be done at once. By knowing what needs to be sorted when, you can do things methodically and in a process. It will also mean you won’t have every single payment coming out at once! From finding your venue to sorting your dress, the better planned you are, the easier it will be.
Enlist others to help you out
Don’t be afraid to get other people to help you out – lots of people would love to help! Select your bridesmaids and maid of honour carefully as these can be key in planning things like your hen party and helping you with the smaller aspects of the day such as sorting your wedding favours. You could get a wedding planner on hand to help you organise the day, or if you don’t have a big budget, you can speak to an expert for one-off advice to help you know what you need to be doing when.
Get the bigger things out of the way first
There are a multitude of aspects to get sorted when planning a wedding and you want to get the bigger things out the way first. Once you have things like your venue, your dress, your wedding photographer and your guest list sorted, it makes the rest of the day a lot easier to plan and organise. You will know how many people you’re catering for, what your theme will be and if there are any limitations to your venue that you need to be aware of. Leave things such as the favours and decorations for when the bigger things are done.
These are just a few top tips that can help you make wedding planning stress-free, especially when family life is part of the mix. Whether you’re planning a big celebration or a more intimate gathering with your loved ones, being organised and prepared means you can focus on enjoying this special time together.
