Are you wondering how to plan a wedding yourself? Now-a-days, only ⅓ of couples are hiring a wedding planner. Why is this? Some people are very organized and have the time to organize their wedding so they can include themselves in every step of the process. This is great! On the other side, hiring a wedding planner can help someone who is maybe not the most organized person, or lacks the time in their day to plan an entire wedding. For many, planning a wedding can cause stress and tension in a family.
Planning a wedding yourself can be a lot of work! A lot of work can mean more stress, so we want to give you some tips on how to lessen the stress in planning your wedding.
Pick experienced vendors | How to Plan a Wedding Yourself Tip 1
When picking out vendors, you need to make sure to ask them a series of detailed questions to make sure they are VERY experienced in what they do. Ask for referrals and look at reviews!! Since you are planning your own wedding, paying extra money for vendors who can handle tough situations on their own, will bring much less stress on you if something goes wrong.
Make yourself a timeline | How to Plan a Wedding Yourself Tip 2
Check out our blog, How to Make a Wedding Timeline to help you create a sufficient timeline for your wedding day.
When making a timeline you need to make sure you give plenty of extra time between events. If you have any errors in the day, this will give you plenty of time to figure them out and leave less time stress. Having extra time in between events will give you the time for extra laughs and hugs with family. This will overall leave you feeling happier during the day.
Make sure to share with the vendors your timeline and ask them about their opinion. Especially the catering, photographers and DJ’s will want to make sure they are well aware of the events of the day.
Accept that it is going to be a lot of extra work | How to Plan a Wedding Yourself Tip 3
When you choose to plan your own wedding, it is important to understand that it is going to take extra time and effort. Plan out how you want your wedding timeline and make sure you do plenty of research on your wedding vendors.
Utilize Day-of-Coordinators | How to Plan a Wedding Yourself Tip 4
