Laura thoughtfully says, “You usually don’t have enough time to do everything yourself so DELEGATE! And determine what’s most important to you, and focus and care about those things. The rest you can care about but don’t let it stress you.”
Recent newlywed Estie had this great piece of advice: “I wish someone would have told me how little time you really have between the chuppah and dinner for pictures. I would have designated more time for pictures of just Avner (her new husband) and I and not focused as much on the hundreds of pictures we took with our full extended families. Also no one told me this before but I have started telling brides now; your wedding day isn’t going to go as smoothly or as perfectly as you may want it to be or have planned it to be but it will still be amazing and beautiful!”
Maya has gone digital when planning her wedding. “I’ve really been using Pinterest a lot when planning my wedding. There are such great posts with advice in all kinds of ways! I even created a board for my friends to check out for things we’d like as gifts from stores that don’t have registries like Anthropology!”
Rachel says, “It may be your wedding but it ain’t your party.” What she means by this is; there’s a lot of stress caused from the fight for control between a bride, or groom, and their parents and in laws. It’s important to pick the things that are important to you and stick to those and realize that maybe other things don’t matter as much. “And remember – communication is key!”
