Google the word “wedding.” What do you find? Words like dresses, venues, cakes, centerpieces, tuxedos, rings, vows, reception and decorations pop up, not to mention advice outside the online world such as books, magazines, parents, cousins and random people in the grocery store who want to tell you how to plan your wedding. The resources are endless.
While these are useful resources for someone who is planning a wedding, it can be extremely overwhelming to the beginner.
As with most anything in life, the best way to keep from being bogged down by the wedding information overload is to stay organized. There are many websites that provide interactive checklists or allow you to create your own including The Knot, Wedding Wire and Martha Stewart Weddings. These lists enable you to keep up with dates, appointments
and deadlines, which lessen stress and lead to a more enjoyable engagement.A second tip on how to keep from drowning in a sea of wedding trivia is to keep all of your information in one place, according to the Bridal Association of America. Once you begin acquiring photographs, receipts, cards and brochures, it is best to file them by category so they are not lost and are easily retrieved when needed.
Finally, the planning of the wedding is often left up to the bride and her friends and family, while the groom sits back and waits for the big day. According to The Knot, “the best way to get things done” is for both the bride and groom to share the work load. This can be done by simply dividing the to-do list in half – each taking what he or she is interested in doing. By doing this, the work load is not only lightened, but the groom becomes involved in the planning experience.
These tips can help you stay afloat in the world of wedding information. Happy Planning!
