Wedding planning can be stressful; between looking for a wedding venue, managing expectations, time, and money, most engaged couples are all set to argue at one point or another. You can deal with the stress if you know what’s causing it. Listed below are five people who will give you stress and how you can take care of them.
Wedding Vendors
These people want to earn and some of them want to earn more by pressuring you to take the more expensive option. Make sure that you have a budget and follow it. In case you are tempted to take what they’re offering that’s more expensive, you should be able to say quickly that, “That’s not in my budget, I need to return home and check if I could move a few things around and I’ll get back to you.” Once you are home, it will be much easier for you to determine if you need the extra option or if it is merely an expensive addition.
Bickering or Divorced Friends or Family Members
There are two reasons why these people would stress you out when planning your wedding. First, you are thinking how they would act during your big day. Second, you’re afraid that you might end up like one of them ten years after you tie the knot.
Talk to them and say that you are glad that they’re attending your wedding. Ask them if they can do you a favour by not fighting because you want your wedding day to focus on love. Ask them if they can be civil for just one day.
In case they still bicker during your wedding, you will most likely be busy with something else and that means you won’t notice them doing such a thing. Additionally, spend some time now to make perfectly sure that you won’t end up like them. Sit down and have a serious talk with your partner. Ask him or her if she’s open to the idea of attending a prewedding counseling.
