Not Taking an active role in the planning process

It’s your wedding day too, and as such, you should be as involved in the planning decisions and process as your spouse. Make sure to be involved in the planning from the beginning and throughout, truly making it a day that both of you can enjoy!

Stick to the guest list

It can be tempting to hand out verbal invites when bumping into old friends in the lead up to the wedding. However, nothing can be more stressful than fitting more people in once the meals have been ordered, and the table plans completed. You will both have narrowed down your guest list early on in the planning timeline, treat it as if it were set in stone.

Be involved in the registry

Be vocal when it comes to the registry, these are the items that you will always look back on with fondness. Have a chat about what you really need as a couple, and tailor the perfect list.

Making Decisions

If you find yourself indifferent to an aspect of the wedding planning, such as the colour of the napkins, or the cake flavouring, try to make an effort to look at the options and land on an opinion.

helping with family members

Wedding planning can often bring out the best intentions of your immediate family, however, even the best intentions can sometimes be an additional stress. Don’t leave the hard conversations for your partner to deal with, instead divert some of the offers of help to areas they can be helpful!

Prepare your vows

Don’t leave your vows until the last minute and just wing it. Spend some time during the wedding lead up to work out what you really want to say, wite it down, and feel confident on your big day.
