Now, we engaged girls know how stressful this planning is! You want everything to be perfect but sometimes it seems like everything is going wrong! That can be very frustrating. You want to remember your "planning days" as a happy time, not a time where you lost half of your life. Here are some tips and tricks to keep your cool while planning your big day.
Tip 1:
You know how sometimes you want to include your future hubby in the whole process of planning? DONT DO IT! His opinion will overwhelm you. Remember, no matter how many times he says that he doesn't mind being involved in this whole process, its not his thing! Know that involving him will cause you more stress than usual! He will have his own opinions and you will need to compromise your dream wedding for his dream party! If you are prepared to do that, be my guest!

Tip 2:
Be reasonable. Remember, the wedding is just one day. You are aiming for a happy long marriage. The wedding day is important, no doubt, but don't go overboard because remember, your guy loves you the way you normally are, not the crazed bride-bitch ALL of us become when we plan. You want to be aware of how crazy you become when you don't get what you want. Please, please, please remember, the wedding is just one day, a party!

Tip 3:
If you made the decision to include your guy in the process of planning, don't push it. No guy likes to make his life about this one day. Most of them don't find the wedding day necessary, and see it as a party for everyone. If you constantly nag him about his opinion of this and that he will become annoyed very quickly. I catch myself doing this once in a while, "Baby, what do you think about the menu?", "Baby, we need to look at the invitations!", "Baby, blah blah blah." He gets tired of it. DON'T DO IT!

Tip 4:
If your dude is involved in the whole process, don't expect a solid answer from him. You ask his opinion? Be prepared for an "I don't know babe," or a "You know best babe, you decide," or a "Can we do this later babe?" Don't expect too much from him. He can be clueless! It can be annoying but remember, he is a guy.

Tip 5:
Have fun with this whole thing. Don't make it a stressful process. And remember, the sooner you lay down the ground rules of who is boss in this planning process, the better it is for you.

Love you all, and hope you will find all these tips and tricks helpful!
