20x how to plan your wedding stress-free
What you should NOT do after your love has gone down on his knees . After you have set your date and chosen the location, the whole party begins. And there is quite a bit of stress involved. But how do you keep that stresslevel as low as possible? By following these twenty tips. I'll give them to you, very simply listed. Here you go, girlfriend...
Do what YOU want
Traditions are traditions, but you really don't have to stick to everything if it doesn't feel right. Don't like cream cake? Then why would you buy a wedding cake? Think flowers are too expensive? No one will bat an eye if there aren't huge bouquets on the table. Break the mold and do something that your guests will talk about for a long time.
Skip the word ‘wedding’ or ‘marriage’ when you go online
Avoid these words to keep the cost picture pleasant. Prices often go up when you stamp it with the wedding label. Do you have a special theme in mind? Then Google ‘decor pastel colors’ instead of ‘wedding decor pastel colors’. Trust me, it will save you a fortune.
Invitations
Only invite people you have seen or spoken to in the last two years. After all, your wedding is not a reunion.
Hire a professional makeup artist
A good makeup artist saves you a lot of stress. You will be photographed all day, and a professional makeup artist knows how to make you look your best in the right light. Plus, you have a long day ahead, and the last thing you want is eaten foundation or smudged eyes.
Vitamins
Don't forget to take plenty of vitamins in the weeks leading up to your wedding. Stress affects your immune system, and the last thing you want is to be sniffling on your big day.
Eating
Don't forget: nerves eat energy, and you don't want to faint during your walk down the aisle.
Hire a good photographer
Your big day will fly by in a flash. So make sure beautiful photos or videos are taken of your special day. You can enjoy the memories of the most beautiful day of your life for a long time.
Create a special email address for your wedding. This way, you can be sure you never miss an important message.
Your own fault
Of course, your wedding is an important moment for you, but make sure you don't get into debt. A wedding costs a lot of money, but if you don't have it, keep it modest.
Don't skimp on food
Make sure you serve enough food on your big day. Hungry guests are unhappy guests. And it can be something very simple. A fries stand around midnight or a stack of pizza boxes is a huge success.
Get help
Let other people help you; you can't do everything alone. Letting go is hard, but believe me: you as a stressed bride make life even harder for you and your partner.
Focus
Think of other weddings you have attended and what stuck with you. That transport in that cool American school bus from the ceremony to the reception? That huge cupcake tower for the little ones? That photobooth at your brother and sister-in-law's wedding? Focus on that instead of things you don't really find that important.
Sell
If you had to buy a lot for your wedding (which cost a fortune), try to sell some things after your wedding. It saves costs for a future bride and groom, and you earn something from it.
Sleep
Make sure you sleep well in the nights leading up to your wedding so that you are well-rested on your big day.
Fancy food
Not a fan of long and stiff dining? Don't do it and go for finger food. This way, you give guests the opportunity to enjoy themselves and the atmosphere remains nice and informal.
Hand over your phone
Give your phone away on your big day. The last thing you want is to be busy with what is happening on social media.
Look at those walls. Hang some
You can keep track of everything online for your big day. RSVPs, to-dos, etc.; make use of it. Your memory will become a sieve, believe me.
Master of ceremonies
Hire someone who is not family and who is slightly removed from you. Delegate tasks and let the person handle everything on the day itself so you can enjoy it to the fullest.
Your opinion matters
It's your day, so what you want happens.
Doubts?
Don't do it.
