When surveyed, 96% of newlyweds described the process of planning a wedding as stressful.

This makes sense as planning a wedding is no easy feat. The fact you have to do everything while working makes things even harder – who has the time to see a wedding venue at 1 PM on a Tuesday?

But, no matter how complicated your wedding is, there are some things you can do to make the planning process more bearable.

Below you’ll discover some tips that’ll help take the stress out of planning a wedding. Act on this knowledge, and you’ll be able to plan the best wedding ever.

Let’s begin!

1. Sort out the Wedding Venue First

One of the most important things you need to do when planning a wedding is to find a good venue.

Now, what counts as a good venue is often subjective, and it will depend on the kind of wedding you want to have.

If you’re having a wedding in the Carribean, then you’ll probably want something that’s on the beach. If you’re looking to keep things local, then you’re probably after a more ‘traditional’ option.

That being said, if you like traditional wedding venues, it’s vital that you act quickly. This is because there’s often a waiting list for such venues and if you don’t book the venue soon, it could mess up your plans.

To provide some perspective here, many people find that they have to book the wedding venue at least a year in advance. This is especially the case if you’re looking to have the wedding during the summer.

2. Send out Timely Invitations

Once you know where your wedding is going to take place, it can often be a good idea to send out your invitations as soon as possible.

In doing so, you give everyone the chance to book time off from work. You also make it easy for them to save money on travel arrangements, as they may secure discounts by booking ahead of time.

On your wedding invitations, you might also want to ask people if they have any special dietary requirements. This then allows you to account for such people when arranging catering for your wedding.

You might also include a note on your invitation, that asks people to confirm their attendance. Again, this can help on the catering side of things as you’ll be able to grasp how much food and drink you need to order.

3. Get Help Wherever You Can

At the most basic level, this might mean that you get a few family members to help you.

So, you might ask someone to help you out with decorating things on the day. Or you could even ask someone to act as an emcee, during the wedding.

However, if you want to splurge, then you may want to consider the option of hiring a wedding planner. This might sound like a big indulgence, but it may be worth it if you lead a generally busy life.
