SAVE YOUR RELATIONSHIP! Ten Wedding Planning Tips You'll WISH You Had Known!
Planning a wedding is a huge undertaking as a couple - and although it is by and large a fantastic experience in growing and learning together, if you don't watch out, it can put undue stress on your relationship. Follow these 10 great tips to ensure your wedding planning draws you CLOSER together!
1. MONEY MANAGEMENT Money is one of the biggest challenges you'll ever face as a couple. Start your marriage off on a strong foot. Plan only for the type of wedding you can afford. Accept what you've got to spend and always shop with this in mind.
2. WEDDING FREE ZONES Have wedding free zones in your home(s) and wedding free evenings with your intended. Then you'll remember why you are doing this…

3. PRIORITIZE Don't waste time getting carried away with the detail of your day until you have put in place the key elements: where and when you'll be married and how much you can spend.
4. BE ORGANIZED It's the key to successful and stress free wedding planning.
5. PRESENT A UNITED FRONT Create your day together and present a united front to your families. Leave some room for family input - especially if they are contributing financially. But be sensitive to the desires and expectations of your families, respect their point of view and listen - even if you eventually reject their ideas (as people sometimes just like to be heard!).
6. DELEGATE Behind every blooming bride and gorgeous groom is a fabulous and efficient team, so delegate what you can to friends and family who have skills in areas you need help with.
7. BRIDESMAIDS & BEST MAN Have a reliable best man and chief bridesmaid. If your closest friends are not competent, confident, reliable individuals, give them something else to do!
8. HIRING & FIRING Do not hire anyone or anything until you have seen or sampled their wares. Get every detail in writing. Before signing a contract ask: "is this your best price?" And read the small print: are taxes and service charges included - if not, you need to budget for them.
9. KEEP COOL, CALM & COLLECTED - especially with your nearest and dearest. Don't alienate anyone you'll need later on (I'm thinking mother-in-law!).
and finally - the most important part of planning any wedding:
10. BE TRUE TO WHO YOU ARE Create your perfect wedding, not an international footballers dream day. Ensure your celebration truly reflects you, your values and your shared sense of style.
