A Very Happy (Stress-Free) Ever After
Your wedding day is meant to be the happiest day of your life but with all of the pressure and anticipation comes a certain amount of stress.
Will all of your guests have a good time? Will you find "the dress"? Will your invitations get to everyone on time? Will it rain? The list of things to worry about is, potentially, endless.
However, there are a few things you can do to lessen the stress.
After all, this day is about committing yourself to spending your life with the one you love...
All of the decisions you make and mini-stresses you face in advance should melt away on your wedding day.
These handy hints and tips should help you remain calm and organized in the run-up to your wedding and on the day itself: Confirm your suppliers - A month before your wedding, make calls to all of your suppliers in order to ensure that they are on track to deliver the service you have requested, be it your flower arrangements, catering or the venue where you're having the reception.
This will help prevent any last-minute panics or let-downs.
Delegate responsibilities - Make sure that those in the wedding party - the bridesmaids and the ushers - are aware of their responsibilities before the big day.
From seating people in the church, to making sure everyone knows how to get from the venue to the reception, these are things that YOU should not have to worry about on the day.
Send electronic 'Save the Date' ecards- In an age where most people access their computers and mobile phones throughout the day, sending an ecard that can reach your guests via email will guarantee that they see your 'save the date' note as soon as you send it.
They can also add it to their diary (also likely to be on their phone) right away.
Our lives are becoming increasingly international and, accordingly, many of us have friends and family living and traveling all over the world.
Sending your 'save the date' cards electronically means you can easily reach all of these people.
Try to keep everything in perspective - With a million and one decisions needing to be made in the lead up to your wedding, try not to become all-consumed by matters will make very little difference to the success of your day.
The shade of cream that you choose for your napkins, the font used on the order of service, the cutlery set you choose for the reception, though important on some level, will not define your day.
So, try not to worry if one of small details ends up slightly different from how you planned it.
And finally, remember that no matter what happens on the day, you will be married to the one you love at the end of it and THAT is what it's really all about.
