Are you planning a wedding? Congratulations! While it’s such an exciting time in your life and deserves an amazing celebration, it also comes with stress.

Anyone who’s planned a wedding can tell you that it’s no piece of (wedding) cake! There is so much that goes into the process, and it can feel overwhelming at times.

Today we’re going to talk about how you can take steps to reduce that wedding-related anxiety and take care of yourself while planning your wedding.  

Ways to Take Care of Yourself While Planning Your Wedding

Wedding planning can be a magical and exciting time, but let’s be honest, it can also be  stressful. I don’t think I’ve met a bride who didn’t have a moment of panic (or two) during the wedding planning process—myself included.

And, between deciding on decorations, planning the guest list, hiring a photographer, choosing a menu, and more, it’s easy to let any semblance of self-care fall by the wayside. 

That’s why we’re sharing some tips for how to feel at least somewhat less overwhelmed while planning your big day.

Take Care of Yourself While Planning Your Wedding 

Set Realistic Expectations

First things first, let’s talk about setting realistic expectations. It’s easy to get caught up in the fairytale of a perfect wedding, but remember, it’s just one day in a whole lifetime together. Try to keep things in perspective, and remember what’s truly important: the love and commitment you and your partner share.

Make Time for Self-Care

In the midst of all the planning and decision making, it’s important to make time for yourself. Whether it’s a bubble bath, a yoga class, or just curling up with a good book, make sure you’re setting aside time each day to do something that brings you joy.

And, remember to get enough sleep, eat right, and keep up with your exercise routine. Trust me, a little self-care goes a long way in reducing stress and keeping you feeling grounded when things get hectic.

Communicate With Your Partner

Wedding planning can put a strain on any relationship, but open and honest communication can prevent a lot of unnecessary stress.

Make sure to have regular conversations with your partner about your wedding plans and any concerns or issues that come up. Remember, you’re in this together, and it’s important to support each other throughout the planning process.

Maintain a Healthy Balance 

It’s easy to become obsessed with all the details involved in wedding planning, so remember to make time for your hobbies, family, and all of the other things in your life.

Try to strike a healthy balance between preparing for your wedding and living the rest of your life. This will not only help you reduce stress, but also ensure that you don’t neglect the other things that matter to you.

Ask for Help

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, it’s smart! Whether you delegate tasks to family and friends or hire a wedding planner, don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

This will not only ease your workload, it’ll help ensure that everything gets done and things run smoothly.

Focus on the the Big Picture

As caught up as you are in planning for the big day, it’s important to take a step back and remember why you’re doing all of this in the first place. You’re planning this wedding to celebrate your love and commitment to each other.

Take time to reflect on your relationship and the future you’re building together. Remember that this is all that truly matters.

Seek Support

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t hesitate to reach out to friends and family or a therapist or counselor. They can help you navigate the emotional ups and downs of wedding planning and provide strategies for coping with stress. You’ll find various sites that offer this kind of help and support, including the BetterHelp platform. 

Enjoy the Process

Last but not least, try to enjoy the process. While planning a wedding is often stressful, it’s also an exciting and meaningful time in your life. Try to focus on the excitement of the upcoming event and making memories with your partner. In the future, you will look back on these days with fondness.

So, take a deep breath, and remember what’s important—you and your partner are getting married and starting a life together!
