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 before your wedding day, learn to prioritize and say no to any new commitments that would take away from other important wedding-related tasks.

BECOME THE QUEEN OF ORGANIZATION

The more organized you are, the better your wedding planning experience will be. Keep a digital copy of all your important documents, contracts and information in one file on your computer so you can easily refer back to them when you need to.

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 between all your wedding 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. Or perhaps go out and enjoy an afternoon with the girls where you don’t talk about the wedding at all.

MOVE YOUR BODY

Exercise does wonders when you’ve got a lot on your plate. Sometimes you 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 can make all the difference to your stress and energy levels.

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.
