Now, you are probably thinking it’s the best day of your life, so how could you not enjoy it? However, wedding days can also be fraught with worry and tension. After all, there are so many variables that we are not always in control of. The good news is there are some strategies you can use to make sure no matter what happens on your big day you have the best time. Read on to find out what they are.
Do design a wedding day that works for you
For some people, the thought of putting on a beautiful outfit and being the center of attention all day is a dream come true. They relish walking down the aisle, performing the first dance, and making a speech. However, for others, having to do this in front of just about everyone they know is nothing short of a nightmare!
What that means is, is very important that you design a wedding that works for you and your personality. After all, it really is up to you what you include and leave out. With that in mind, you can skip the first dance if you like, or forget the speeches. You can even build some time into the day when you have a break from all your guests for 10 minutes or so, something that can be very centering and help you enjoy the day much more if you are of an introverted persuasion.
Don’t worry about what others think
So many weddings come with a side of panicking about what others think. Indeed, our taste, success, organization skills, and even our family relationships can all seem as if they are under the spotlight when we tie the knot.
However, it is important to remind yourself that the reason you are having this celebration is to mark the union of two lives. It’s not to impress your long-lost auntie or your mum’s neighbor from down the street. Yes, of course, you want everyone to have a good time, but the only people that truly matter on your big day are you and your spouse to be. Just try and let the judgment of others go.
Do choose vendors and services that take all the hassle out of the day
Another way to ensure that you make sure that you truly enjoy your wedding day is to pick vendors that deal with everything for you, leaving you to focus on the important stuff like having fun.
In particular, be sure to choose caterers that serve the food as well as prepare it and a wedding planning that will handle the decoration of your reception space for you. Also, be sure that you pick a wedding band that will learn your first song, and that will interact with your guests, making sure they have a good time. Then you can focus on what matters, having a great time!
Don’t forget to make time for some relaxation the day before
Last of all, if you know you have a tendency to be nervous or stressed, be sure to block off some time the day before the wedding for a relaxing activity. Choose meditation, exercise, or even a relaxing spa treatment like a massage, as long as it helps you to get in the right frame of mind for your big day ahead.
