Congratulations on your engagement!
Planning your wedding can be a very exciting time in your life,
but it can also be a very stressful time. You've probably heard
people say, "If you can survive planning a wedding, you can
definitely survive the marriage." There are so many options
to choose from 
and
so many decisions to make while you plan your wedding. Maybe you’ve
been planning your wedding since
you were little or maybe you've never gave it a thought until
now. Either way, this wedding planner will help
you start off right, and will guide you through the planning stages
to your wedding day. Allowing you to discover the wedding
planning options that are best for you as a couple. This
wedding planner takes current wedding
planning information, breaks it down and simplifies the
wedding planning process for you, taking away a lot of
the overwhelming chaos that can take over your life and sanity
while planning a wedding.
How Your Personalities
Affect Your Wedding Planning
Before we start talking cakes and
flowers, I want you to take a moment and assess some of your personality
traits. Surprisingly, many of the stress factors related to planning
a wedding are actually related to the personality traits of the
couple. Many people jump right in to planning their wedding, but
I promise you that understanding each other a little more and
how it relates to planning your wedding can be extremely helpful
in understanding how some of the potential bumps that may come
along the process of planning the wedding happen and how best
to handle them.
Stress is far
too common in wedding planning, and in many cases has a negative
impact on the wedding day. Stress doesn't have to take over your
wedding plans or even your life. Very often stress consumes couples
before their wedding, especially in the last few days before the
wedding as all the plans come together. Then their to wound up
to make their wedding day the joyful and memorable event it should
be. When things get tense, it can affect your relationship and
in most cases it will at least have an impact on how much you
enjoy your wedding day. I know if you're just starting off with
planning your wedding it's hard to imagine trouble in paradise,
trust me, it happens far to often with couples planning their
wedding.
Stress is also
very contagious, so if either of you is stressed, the other will
be most likely be influenced in a negative way and this is not
where we want to go. Stress can also spread throughout the wedding
party and close family members. It can really pay off to see where
the potential problems can happen, and this might give you an
idea on how to avoid potential stress builders. Being aware of
possible stress triggers can help you take action to avoid stressful
situations. Stress doesn't have to have an affect on your wedding
day, so take a moment and have each of you answer these questions,
be as honest as possible and compare notes. Remember, the person
answering the questions has the say about themselves, this is
not the time to say how you think the other person should answer.
Potential Stress Builders
Are you the kind of person that gets projects done early, on time
or late?
Do you find you keep your matters and surroundings very organized,
disorganized or somewhere in between?
If you had an extra $50.00 would you put it away for a rainy day
or would you go out and spend it right away?
Do you worry about small things that go wrong or not as planned,
or are you relaxed most of the time?
When you make a purchase do you generally buy high quality or
bargains?
Are the kind of person that can't relax until task are completed
or are you able to push tasks out of your mind until deadlines?
Do you like to make most of the decisions or do you like it when
other's take on the decision responsibility?
Do yo consider yourself, cheep, a big spender or somewhere in
between?
Do you like to do things yourself to ensure the task are done
correctly or do you step back and let others take the helm?
I’m asking you these questions because if you both answer
differently it can cause some conflict when planning your wedding.
If one of you is extremely organized, likes things done on time
and worries when it’s not done and the other person isn’t
completing tasks on time, is loosing things or doesn't know where
everything is and really isn’t concerned about it, there's
likely cause for stress and maybe even conflict if you don't prepare
for it. Understanding each other's personalities is vital. No
personality trait is right or wrong, just different. Understanding
these differences in each other from the start and planning for
them can make a huge difference in how this story ends. Respecting
each other’s personality traits will help you be more understanding
when issues come up and you can plan tasks better under the circumstances.
Maybe the person that is organized can do the planning and scheduling
and offer help to the other to stay on task. The person that is
laid back would be wise to listen to their partner and proceed
with errands as they are scheduled and make an effort to be on
time. If the budget is tight, the person with the expensive taste
may want to let their tight-fisted partner have more say in how
things are spent. The most important thing is that you respect
each other and work together. If you’re both disorganized
and usually late doing tasks, you may want to consider recruiting
a professional wedding planner to help you stay
on task throughout the wedding plans. Understanding
yourselves and each other can help you see potential problems
that can had unnecessary stress into the wedding planning process
and avoid them.
