Comments on: What is your best advice for other brides planning a wedding? http://prescottweddingguide.com/what-is-your-best-advice-for-other-brides-planning-a-wedding Sat, 19 May 2012 13:34:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Courtney T http://prescottweddingguide.com/what-is-your-best-advice-for-other-brides-planning-a-wedding#comment-38 Courtney T Thu, 13 Jul 2006 22:36:18 +0000 http://prescottweddingguide.com/what-is-your-best-advice-for-other-brides-planning-a-wedding#comment-38 I just got married on June 3, 2006. I would say that 1) Developing a budget saves a lot of stress 2) Decide what YOU want before you start talking to family members and your bridal party. Otherwise, everyone has some kind of problem with your choices. 3) Take care of everything as soon as you can. Make your favors early, make your programs early, anything that can be done in advance, do it! Don't waste too much time and then spend the week before your wedding scrambling to get things done. 4) Don't choose people for your bridal party who are irresponsible! It will save you so much grief!<br><b>References : </b><br> I just got married on June 3, 2006.
I would say that
1) Developing a budget saves a lot of stress
2) Decide what YOU want before you start talking to family members and your bridal party. Otherwise, everyone has some kind of problem with your choices.
3) Take care of everything as soon as you can. Make your favors early, make your programs early, anything that can be done in advance, do it! Don't waste too much time and then spend the week before your wedding scrambling to get things done.
4) Don't choose people for your bridal party who are irresponsible! It will save you so much grief!

Both brides were devastated! Hope this helps and gives you a few ideas. (1) have more cameras and take additional photos besides your hired photographer and (2) check out the food PRIOR to your wedding. Good luck.<br><b>References : </b><br> Recent wedding experiences included lousy food (many guests were vomiting a few hours after) and a photographer who didn't notice that the cap was on the lens until the wedding reception was nearly over!

May you have a healthy, happy union. After being very happily married for 18+ years, my advise is this: You don't want the wedding to overshadow the marriage. A wedding is just for 1 day, but your marriage should last your lifetime. Rule number 1: Don't sweat the small stuff. Rule number 2: It's all small stuff. Don't get so wrapped up in the knitty gritty of wedding planning that you forget the most important reason which is why you're there in the first place. Good luck and best wishes to you both!<br><b>References : </b><br> First off, congratulations on your upcoming marriage! May you have a healthy, happy union.

Buy some of those disposible cameras to put on the tables at the reception, and ask your guests to take pictures of each other. There is always someone that you wish the photographer had captured, but by the time you see your wedding proofs, it is too late. Most of all, have fun! Congrats!<br><b>References : </b><br> Just two tips, make sure to delegate some things, this will take some of the stress off of you, and will keep some people (especially moms) from feeling left out.

After it is over now I have a lot of things i would have done differantly....Make sure you have a babysitter if you already have kids...and not one who is staying for the reception. Have someone cater and decorate...it was less expensive but more stressful! Dont stress out about everything! Have a honeymoon and ENJOY YOUR DAY! it will be over in an instant make the best of it.....if you stress out about everything youll miss the fun! My wedding ceremony was perfect! The only thing I would have changed is my reception. My family didnt get to enjoy it because they were cleaning up the food and all that. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SOME ONE CATER that will do everything....cleaning up and all!<br><b>References : </b><br> I just got married on May 6th of this year.

No matter what obstacles you face, what trauma comes your way, repeat this phrase and smile, "When this is done, I am going to be Mrs. (insert groom's name here)." The rest is just trimming. (And, ask a friend to have a car waiting, with a full tank of gas, to be the get away driver> This is just in case you change your mind at the last minute. Knowing that you have options is calming.)<br><b>References : </b><br> Remember the mantra.
