Yes, planing can take hours out of your day if you are disorganized. GET ORGANIZED TO SAVE TIME! Don't procrastinate, just get 'er done.
Cut out tasks that are unnecessary or seem silly. Why waste weeks making a seating chart at the reception? Most adults can figure out where they want to sit. Reserve enough tables near the head table for your and his immediate family, grandparents, aunts and uncles etc. What if you cave and make a seating chart and you learn some of the people you've seated together stop speaking to each other? It happens all the time! Save stress and time, just don't do it.
Work within your budget. You'll save so much stress and worry about money if you decide to cut money sucking items like a full bar for the entire reception. How about putting a few bottles of wine on each table instead?
Or host a buffet instead of a 5 course sit down dinner, You and your maids can DIY centerpieces or use pots of seasonal plants with pretty pot covers instead of expensive floral centerpieces. You can cut your guest list, buy your wedding gown from the sale rack, there are so many ways to cut expenses and have a fabulous and fun wedding.
Planning involves a lot of decision making. Just make a decision, a bad decision is better than no decision. (That's my personal mantra. As an independent businesswoman, I've had to learn to make decisions on a dime.)
Brides who can't decide on anything paralyze themselves. Agonizing over things that just don't matter drive you and everyone around you crazy. Your fiance is involved, make joint decisions and don't second guess it.
*MAKE A DECISION * GO ON TO THE NEXT DECISION * DON'T LOOK BACK * DON'T SECOND GUESS YOURSELF*
Arguments, disagreements and compromise. If your parents are involved helping to pay for wedding, there are bound to be disagreements. You and your fiance may argue. The key is COMPROMISE and COMMUNICATION.
Sit down and talk about it. Listen to their reasons. Communicate without screaming, yelling and crying.
Take one or two days a week to step away from wedding planning and wedding talk. Just chill and have fun with your fiance. No one around you wants to hear about your wedding in every conversation you have with them. While your wedding is important to you, its not the focus of the lives of your bridesmaids and friends. In the end, its not the wedding, its the marriage.
The wedding is one day out of your life, the marriage is your life.
