Take Care of Yourself
A survey by Zola showed that up to 96% of couples experience wedding planning stress. Don’t let the focus of wedding planning damage your health – remember to be kind to your body and mind! Get regular exercise, try a meditation app, and take a social media detox when you need one. Pay attention to your body and take a break if stress catches up with you. With the right care, you’ll be glowing and ready to enjoy your special day!
Communicate
Talk it out. You don’t have to handle the stress alone. Speak to your family, friends, and partner about it. Furthermore, consider seeking professional help or joining online support communities.
Leverage Your Network
Newly engaged couples are vocal and supportive, so don’t be afraid of asking for help. They’re sure to have some helpful hacks and cheap wedding ideas to make the entire process easier.

Take Charge Of Your Life!
Set aside a day or two to take control of your life. You know what organizational strategies have worked best for you in the past, so why not use them? From making a “to-do” list, creating a color-coded calendar, organizing a binder, or building a filing system, you can create order in your life and achieve your goals.
Outline the tasks that need to get done for each category and rank them based on priority. Start working on the highest priority items from each category to get started.
Get Your Wedding Party Involved!
It’s true that planning a wedding can be overwhelming and time-consuming. The best way to make things easier is to get everyone on board. Ask your bridal party, friends, and family to contribute with reasonable tasks – they may want to help! So don’t be afraid to delegate. With everyone on your team, you’ll have your dream wedding planned in no time!
Be Prepared For Anything!
It’s always wise to think ahead and have a backup plan for your wedding, especially if it’s outdoors – you never know what Mother Nature has in store. Have you considered an indoor location as an alternative? Is there a tent or other option you can rent just in case? Have a Plan B handy, so you can be ready for whatever comes your way!
Give Yourself A Break!
Give yourself permission to take some time off. Every now and then, switch off your email and phone notifications. Take a break from your devices and all the screens. Relax your eyes, stretch, or go for a walk. Research shows that 62% of people find walking to be an effective way of reducing stress and anxiety – so why not give it a try?
Schedule More Time Than Necessary For Appointments And Tasks.
Avoid the stress of being rushed by over-blocking your calendar with extra time for wedding appointments. This way, you’ll be prepared for any surprises and have a more relaxed and enjoyable experience. To make sure you have enough time, give yourself an extra hour or two so you don’t feel rushed!
Consult A Wedding Planner.
Are you thinking about consulting a wedding planner? It’s one of the most common questions couples ask themselves when planning their big day. While the decision is ultimately up to you and your budget, we highly recommend investing in a wedding planner. They exist for a reason and can be a tremendous help during the wedding planning process. Don’t be afraid to ask for help and make your wedding planning journey easier.
