While there are some brides out there who aren’t afraid to embrace the full bridezilla strategy when it comes to getting things done for the wedding, other brides may not be so aggressive, especially when it comes to enlisting the help of others. It is natural for a bride to feel like she has to do everything herself in order to make her dream wedding happen. However, being stressed out all the time from a huge to-do list can cause you to miss special moments leading up to your wedding. If no one is stepping forward to help with the wedding responsibilities, it is more than okay to delineate tasks to members of the wedding party.
When assigning more critical wedding tasks, here are a few things you will want to consider:
- Give details of what you want. By not specifying the nitty-gritty, things may turn out to be more of what they wanted instead of what you had envisioned.
- Let them know it is more than okay to contact you when needed, instead making an unsure decision.
- Give a deadline. Not having a deadline can put you more at risk of having people forget or procrastinating until the last minute.
- Consider who has time and who may not. If you think someone might have a lot on his or her plate already, choosing a different wedding party member would be wise.
- Don’t be afraid to check in. If you haven’t been getting the updates you were hoping for, it’s okay to contact them and ask.
Asking for help with the wedding and following these five tips will have you on the path to a stress-free wedding!
