A wedding can be intimidating when it comes to the preparation. With all the details that has to be prepared, the cost it entails and the pressure in coming up with a perfect wedding, couples are faced with so many challenges that it may be difficult to handle at times. Some couples become distant, while the worst for some is that they give in to the stress and pressure and they are left with no solution but rather, another problem that they have to face. To help couples go through the entire wedding preparation smoothly, here are some helpful tips:
- Schedule activities – So that you will be organized, get a wedding checklist and agree on the timeline. If there are some things that the two of you have to do together, work on a common schedule so that you both will be available and can juggle both preparation time and work time. You do not want to have to worry about taking a leave from work just because you did not discuss your preparation schedule. Make sure to include time for things like wedding invitations, picking out unique wedding favors, hiring caterers and performers, and securing the venue for the wedding.
- Communicate – This can be the perfect ground to practice good communication. You probably communicate well with each other and this is one of the things that led you to this point of getting married. Be sure to discuss things in detail with each other, especially the things that are important. Discussing each other’s ideas can lead to an even better wedding – you can have a personalized wedding by having a unique theme, great music and even up to personalized wedding favors.
- Make it fun! Remember that you are planning for a celebration, not a military attack. Make it fun, keep it light, and do not be overly serious about everything. While there are decisions and cost that have to be considered, keep the moments light and do not try to stress out or fuss over little details.
- Budget everything – Before you start doing the legwork, sit down and do consider everything and have a contingency amount for unexpected expenses. If you leave out even a single detail, it can affect your schedule and your budget, thus creating the stress together with it.
Wedding preparation involves a lot of work and this can be the best time to have teamwork between the two of you! An event as big and special as this need not be solely dependent on one person, but make this is your pet project and you will both indeed be satisfied with the outcome.
