No amount of preparation in the world can prepare you for what you might miss or need on your wedding day, except maybe advice from people that just went through what you’re doing right now. Here are important tips and tricks from newlyweds to those who are planning their nuptials: 

• Don’t Feel Rushed – There’s no need to get married right away if you don’t want to or aren’t ready. Feel free to take your time saving money, finishing school, or whatever else you want to do before you tie the knot.

• Start Planning Early – Wedding vendors book up fast. You can never book your photographer, band, DJ baker, florist or venue too early. If you wait too long, the good ones might be snatched up.

• The Planning is Worth it – Never let someone tell you your wedding is “just a party.” It’s OK to care and OK to spend time and energy planning your big day. You’re not just investing in a party; you’re investing in one of the most meaningful and happy days of your life. Take the time to make your wedding personal and special.

• Stick with Your Choices – There are so many options out there when it comes to weddings, making it easy for you to get sucked into “what if.” Once you make a choice, stick with it. Buy a dress? Stop looking at other dresses online. Book a photographer? Good job, you’re done with that step. Don’t stress yourself out by overthinking, but also don’t feel pressured into making choices quickly. Take your time to make the right decision, and then trust that you did just that.

• Make Planning Special – Yes, wedding planning can be stressful. However, it doesn’t have to be. Make a choice to have fun planning your wedding. Celebrate making decisions. Go ahead and pop a bottle of champagne once you send out your invitations. Go out for a special dinner or event after your hair trail. Dance in the living room to try out first dance songs.

• Be Open Minded – You might have a specific vision, but so might your partner. Be open-minded about taking in his or her ideas. Plan and make decisions together because, after all, your wedding is a reflection of who you are as a couple.
