The Wedding Lens Blog – Wedding Planning Tips & Advice

You’re getting married and you have your list of things to do — and you are totally, ridiculously, without a doubt, overwhelmed!!! How do you ask for help?

First, talk with your partner. You know, your future spouse? Usually you’re marrying that person because you work well as a team. And, my guess, is one of you is probably calmer than the other during this process.

Second, figure out what tasks you can delegate. That’s right, give up some control! Example: you know you want yellow flowers, but you haven’t figured out where to get them, what to get, how much it costs, where to put them, etc. Delegate.

Third, delegate for informational purposes. What do I mean? Well, it’s easy for one of your friends to take on calling a couple florists and finding out prices, how delivery works, what they recommend in yellow during that time of the year. And they can even research where to put the flowers once you get them.

I actually think that this is the easiest to do. It’s hard to let go of the entire task, but it’s easy to let someone else do some background work. For one friend, I looked up local hotels that were close to the venue and I figured out how much they cost, if the hotel allowed room blocks (and how many), and that was that. The bride made the final decision, but at least she didn’t have to spend the time doing the dirty work!

Finally, take deep breaths. Be zen. This is a day where you & your significant other share your love for one another with your family and friends. If it’s not perfect, it’s okay. You and your significant other will still be married, smiling, and happy at the end of the day.

Good luck!
