To keep your wedding from turning into a crazy free for all with no organization or plan is an excellent recipe for disaster. Granted, there can always be something that crops up at the last minute, causing a scramble, but your whole day shouldn’t run that way. It makes things extra stressful for you, things can easily be forgotten, and those wanting to help can be left out to dry while you try and handle everything by yourself. Not a good combination for a joyful and happiest day of your life wedding day. The best way to keep the craziness at bay is to work before your wedding day takes place to create a wedding day schedule for you, your wedding party, and any other relatives and guests who are there to help make your day easier. Having trouble coming up with a wedding day schedule? Here are some important necessities to remember to include.
Mapping out your Wedding Day Time line
Perhaps the best way to start creating your wedding day schedule is to create a time line of events. On a sheet of paper, list the time the wedding starts down, along with any other firm times, such as hair appointments, delivery times, photography sessions, availability times for decorating the church or reception hall, and as many more as you can think of.
For example, our wedding time was at 3:30, and I had a hairstylist at the location to start doing hair and make-up for myself and all of my bridesmaids at 8. My wedding cake, flowers, and other decorations were to be delivered or picked up around the 1:00 time frame, and my photographer was showing up at 11. Plus we had to decorate the church and the reception hall the morning before the wedding, and I had to know the times that they were available beforehand.
Don’t Buckle Under the Stress
Just remembering the list of things I had on our wedding day schedule is enough to make me exhausted again. If making that list stresses you out instead of helping you, then remember that you have a whole host of people to help you get these things done on your wedding day. You don’t need to stress out over it all. Your bridesmaids and groomsmen need to do more than just look pretty, so if they’re standing around, ask them politely if they would mind helping you finish a task. I couldn’t have handled my tight wedding day schedule without a host of aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends and bridesmaids who came early and worked hard to help make everything perfect for our big day. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, whether it be running an errand, helping you pack, making a phone call, or asking your bridesmaids to show up at a particular time to help, or take pictures.
It’s Your Wedding Day
I know it seems pointless to say, but try not to stress out too much. Your wedding day is going to be one of the best days of your life, and if you’re running around and going crazy, it may be really hard for you to enjoy your day. Creating a wedding day schedule and then asking people to help you get through those things that must be done on your wedding day is a great way to help you keep your sanity and keep you from forgetting something really important.
