Making Wedding Planning Less Stressful
Be sure to plan at least one "wedding
free" weekend during the months before - to relax, forget
the planning and remember why you're doing it all in the first
place! -

"Pack 'Shout' wipes and club soda
for the day of . . . if you don't you will surely wish you
had!" -

Grooms are less busy
the “morning of” – and so can handle last-minute jobs (and
keeping busy fights the nerves!). -

Book a b&b for a relaxing night after the
wedding - don't leave until at least the next day! And while
honeymoon locations of course are totally up to personal taste,
my advice is be sure you're going somewhere where you can
REST.

Take 30 minutes
of quiet, alone time to write down everything you want
for your wedding -- prioritizing everything. Ask your fiancé
to do the same. Then compare lists. You´ll be surprised
at some of the differences - and by knowing in advance what's
really important to both of you, you'll be able to avoid
conflicts and ensure that you both have the meaningful,
joyful wedding of your dreams.

"Write out your
checks before the start of 'the day,' and be sure to have
cash for tips." -

"Bring one paper grocery bag
for each of your bridesmaids to the room where you'll be changing.
Have each bridesmaid write her name on her own bag —
and use it to store her clothing after she changes into her
gown. That way everything will be stored compactly and neatly,
and everyone will be able to find all of their own things
quickly after the reception."(From Great
