10 tips for Handling Stress during Wedding Planning

10 tips for managing Wedding Stress

1.     Expect Stress: Try to plan and then respond to issues as they come up. If you have planned, you will be less likely to react instead of respond.

2.     Set realistic expectations: You cannot please everyone!

3.     Don’t expect perfection! Expect a “terrific” day…

4.     Try meditation or visualization if you are feeling particular pressure or stress about an event or element of your wedding

5.     Take a walk! Exercise is the best way to combat stress.

6.     You know those people who are really good at pushing your buttons? Limit your time with them, or stay away from them during extremely stressful times.

7.     Take a break and do something fun together if you and your fiancé reach your stress threshold.

8.     Be aware that if your parents are acting a little strange it could be “separation anxiety”. It can be hard to let go.

9.     Do not try to do everything yourself. Delegate to people you can trust.

    10. Don’t forget to spend extra time on your relationship during  

the planning process. Planning the wedding is important, of course, but it is a minute compared to the lifetime you will be together

I totally agree with your list to de-stress, except that I would add, eat plenty of chocolate.

As a bride-to-be on a tight budget, I recently discovered an online bridal jewelry store called GlamForLess.com.
Though their website is plain and simple, I found some great deals on jewelry sets for me and my bridesmaids.

I think other readers on a tight budget may also find GlamForLess.com to be helpful.
You may want to check them out at http://www.glamforless.com/ and inform other readers about it.

Keep up the good work.
