Reduce Wedding Planning Stress

Today's post is a controversial one. Not because it is iffy, but because some people have tried today's suggestion with poor results.

The problem, in most cases, is not in the idea - it is in the execution... as is so often the case.


Hire a Wedding Planner: A wedding planner who has been around the block a time or two offers something very few brides have – experience. They know people in the business, they know how to deal with wedding professionals, they have handled the problems that inevitably come up with planning a wedding, they have handled drunk relatives, etc. Most of all they know what to expect and what is a problem and what is not so the bride does not have to waste stress over situations that are not really a problem.

The execution problem, comes as a result of the fact that so many 'wedding planners' are little more than young girls who enjoyed planning their own wedding so they hung a shingle proclaiming themselves as 'wedding planners' (or something like that).

The solution? Look at resumes. Check references. Get permission and attend a wedding that the planner you are considering is mounting and watch. It won't take you long to decide if what you see is what you want coordinating all the elements of your wedding.
