1. Prioritize Things

The reason why you end up stressing is that you don’t prioritize things. You do the things that are of the least importance in the beginning and when it is finally the time to do the chores that are important, you run out of time.

That is what causes major stress. And the simple solution to it is prioritizing things. Prioritize the essential stuff that you need to do at all cost to get that perfect dream wedding. Make a list and keep on checking them to make sure you are right on track.

2. Be Decisive

When planning your wedding, you will have to make a lot of decisions. From choosing the dress to selecting the kind of flowers you want. There will be tons of options for you to choose from. You need to be decisive. Make the decision quickly because if you delay that, you will end up running in circles. If you don’t want to make all the decision at once then you can set weekly deadlines and make the decision and move to the next one.

3. Actively Communicate

Lack of communication is one of the main reasons of stress. Many people complain that their parents contribute in giving stress and the same applies to in-laws as well. Wedding planning can be a stressful thing and if your parents or in-laws are paying for your wedding, then you can ask for their opinion.

But if not then it is best to make your own decisions. Try to actively communicate with everyone who is a part in planning the wedding. Active communication also ensures that you are all on the same page.

4. Do not Compare!

Comparison is called the thief of joy for a reason. You should never compare your wedding with anyone else’s wedding. Sure you are free to take inspiration but it should only be limited to it. Everyone life is different. Their way of celebration is different. Some may have a more lavish wedding than yours but don’t force yourself or your partner to have the same if you lack money. Having a simple wedding is good as well. So stop stressing on the things you don’t have and be grateful for what you have.

5. Trick yourself into thinking

This is another useful technique where you think that you are having your wedding a month or a couple of weeks early. This will help you do all your tasks before due date. Many people start feeling overwhelmed as their wedding approaches.

Try to do the major tasks well in advance so that you don’t start stressing. The tasks like venue booking, selecting vendors, and table plans can all be done well in advance. All you have to do is be a little consistent and organized.
