Nervous Nellie
Feeling fearful? Worried? Nervous? Not to worry…Today we are going to give you a few tips on how to tackle your wedding planning process + not get lost in the maze of Pinterest boards, family drama and the myriad minute details!
Step 1. Hire a planner
Just like you are the expert in your chosen field, these individuals are the experts in the events + wedding planning arena. They know everything from creative design to breaking down the math on your food + beverage minimum. And, the best tend to have a rolodex that connects them with every vendor under the sun.
We promise, if you hire one, your stress levels will be significantly reduced + better yet, you can actually ENJOY your day. Consider it from the start; no one likes walking into something they haven’t been a part of from the onset. Trust me, it will be your best investment.
Step 2. Make a to-do list
List out what is most important to you. If you categorize your thoughts in order of importance ahead of time, you will be able to focus your time + efforts on those items properly.
Step 3. Don’t get carried away on Pinterest
You can’t have all of it. After all, there’s a reason why you have so may “Pins.” Remember to focus on your season, likes and what is feasible. Create a look — not several of them. Trust me, it will lead to a more cohesive night + memories.

Step 4. Remember what you have liked + disliked when attending weddings
Make the night an easy + fun experience for your guests, too. Ask yourself some important questions:
– Am I providing transportation?
– Is there a variety of food offered/a meal selection for my picky friends?
– Does the timeline allow for everyone to get from place to place in a clam and relaxed fashion? No one likes to rush!
Step 5. Include your significant other + family members
If you can, incorporate a little something for each person; quell the drama before it begins. Make sure your partner is a part of the process. The wedding shouldn’t be a surprise to them. Allow them to feel included and “in the know.” Allow both sets of parents to have a role. This way, they can focus their efforts on something other than driving you nuts!
Step 6. HAVE FUN!
Good luck!
