Controlling the Stress that Comes with Planning a WeddingSubmitted by nyoung Sun, 23 Mar 2008
Wedding planning can be a truly exciting and stressful time for a couple. Balancing your regular daily rituals with new and upcoming prospects can overwhelm the strongest of people. Not only will you be getting the proverbial butterflies in your tummy, you'll be fighting exhaustingly to find enough time in each day to complete the unending list of to-dos. It makes sense that to combat this stress you first need to pinpoint where it's coming from. The most obvious will be people. It stands to reason that others who have gone through what you're stressing from would be most helpful and kind. However, that's certainly not the case. Whilst probably not attempting to stress you out, wedding vendors, friends/family members, parents, even your spouse-to-be will do so. Let's break this list down a bit to provide some sort of counter-attack to the stress they provide.
* Wedding Vendors - At first glance, a vendors job is to help you decide what the best possible option is for you on your wedding day. Wrong. A vendors job is to make money. It's not monstrous that they'd like to squeeze something extra from you. But, you're not there to give them charity. Stay firm with your budget. If a vendor is subtle in attempting to up-sell you on something that you can't afford, it's not unkind to respond with, "That's not in my budget." Likewise, if a vendor is being uncommonly forceful with you, it's not unreasonable that you return said behavior. * Friends/Family Members - There's an uncountable amount of reasons for friends and family bringing stress to the table. Half of which won't be on purpose. It may surprise you how well a small chat can help relieve you of this. Before your wedding day, simply take your loved ones aside however you see fit. Explain to them in your own words that you would like nothing more than to make your once in a lifetime celebration of that love go as perfectly as possible. This approach will certainly vary between people but the idea is the same. These things wont cross a person's mind unless you put them to words. Give the special people in your life special tasks. Those tasks can be to do something specific, or simply to not do something you hate. * Parents - Just the idea of your in-laws at your wedding reception can be stressful. There's no fixing that. But to help, remember that it's your day and the start of your new life. * Spouse - It's true. The love of your life is going to feel like a pain at times. But, that's for you two to discuss. Most of these things are going to vary from person to person or couple to couple. One thing will remain constant. If you take some of your focus off of pleasing everyone around you and place it on making it your and your spouse's day, you'll be taking a giant weight off. About the Author
