| Anyone who is planning a wedding, at some point gets that terrible feeling of being totally overwhelmed – too many things to do – not enough time to do them – not enough money to pay for everything – family relationships causing even more stress – the boss wants you to work extra hours – HELP!!! Here are some great tips to help you cope: |
|
Stay Organized
By staying organized, it will give you the feeling of security that you are not forgetting something!
- Keep a "To Do" list. Keep this list (and a pen) with you ALWAYS - so when you think of something that you should do, a decorating idea or a question to ask a vendor - put it on your list IMMEDIATELY. Don't wait! If you do, you might forget and then you’ll torture yourself with that nagging feeling… "I know I’m forgetting something…"
- Use a "12 Month Countdown Calendar" to keep you on track and help make sure that you don’t forget anything. Also, keep a CALENDAR with all of your appointments with vendors and deadlines of deposits or payments.
- Whether it is a three ring binder, folders or a computer program, find a system of organization that works for you and STICK WITH IT!
- Keep all of your wedding information together! If you need to, grab a big box and force yourself to keep everything in the box (contracts, samples, brochures, information, menus, etc)
Take Care of Yourself
- Take the time to exercise often (3 or more times per week) It will make you feel better, look better, increase your energy level and you’ll be able to handle stress better.
- Do something nice for yourself… Make an appointment for a manicure, facial or massage.
- Take a break from wedding planning. You may think that you don’t have time to – but do it anyway. Take a "night off" with your fiancé and you’ll feel refreshed and ready to start again the next day!
