1) Rely on a good planner. Finding a good wedding planner can keep the stress limited on your big day. A seasoned planner will shoulder all the responsibiity for your impending day. While your planner is not your personal slave, he/she will do whatever it takes to take stress off you and pull off a great wedding. Be sure to keep in contact with your planner and keep a friendly demeanor.
2) Make to do and or check lists. Keeping a list of what you need to get done and check on will keep you organized and prepared. You can find check lists for brides online. This will give you a good idea of what your list should look like, and it will give you a head start.
3) Keep your bridal party informed of their duties and obligations. Rely on your friends, that's what they're there for. Delegating jobs to your bridesmaids will help you get things done. Make sure your maid of honor knows how involved she will need to be when you ask her to be your MOH.
4) Get an early start. Don't wait until the last minute to get anything done. Organizing and hiring vendors early will insure that things on on the right track before your big day, and it will help keep stress down. Make sure to hire a planner early so they can get started and you can form a good relationship. If you bring a planner on board in the beginning they will get things done for you. Waiting to hire a planner to take over later will only create more work for you and make it harder for them to jump in last minute. We always like to come on board early so we can form a good familiar relationship with the bride and know exactly what expectations are.
5) Remember this is supposed to be a fun process. This day is about the bride and groom, not the guests. The day should be happy and fun not stressful and stiff, so relax. Try to take time for you, to relax.
Happy Wedding-
