• Don’t DIY Everything – You might be spart, capable, creative, and endlessly handy, but that doesn’t mean you can do everything that needs to be done for your wedding all by yourself. Even if planning and executing the wedding is your fulltime job, you would still end up burned out and upset if try to do it all alone. Plus, when you’re burned out, things get missed, mistakes get made, and you might end up with some sad wedding day moments. Instead, ask for help from friends and family and don’t be afraid to rely on your vendors. 

• Don’t Let Your Parents Control the Guest List – If you don’t want to invite your mom’s fourth cousin you’ve never met, then don’t. It’s your wedding. The more people on the guest list you don’t know very well, the less money and time you’ll have to spend on the guests you love and care about. Be firm with your parents if that isn’t what you want – but be prepared to negotiate and compromise if they continue to push for extra guests. Ask for their invite list, in order of preference, so you can cut from the bottom if necessary. 

• Don’t Forget About Your Fiancé – Your partner is the whole reason for the wedding. Spend time with them while planning to recharge, and be sure to set aside a few minutes of alone time on the wedding day so take in the feeling of being newlyweds together. 

• Don’t Forget Its Your Wedding – Everyone will have opinions about the wedding, from what to wear, the music, the food and more, all of the pressure can push you into deciding on something that you’re not even sure about. At the end of the day, most of the decisions should be made by you and your partner. 

• Do Take Care of Yourself – There’s no getting around it, planning a wedding is tough. Take time for self-care and do whatever it is you need to do to unwind, from getting a massage to simply going on a walk around the block.
