A little bit of time out together can work wonders, for you too, a break from being the wedding planner can recharge your batteries.
Why not just your and your groom get away from it all?
Like
A romantic dinner for two, budget might be tight, but it's amazing what a few tea lights, perfumed candles, even comfy cushions around the coffee table, soft music in the background, good wine, you in something stunning and the food could be scramble eggs on toast, he wouldn't notice
A walk along the beach in the late afternoon, just as the sun is setting
Send him an e-card, it will brighten his day.
Go dancing
A drive in the country, have lunch at a country pub, away from everything.
I'm sure you can think of many more things you can do, the important thing is that it is just the two of you and no wedding talk.
There will be many other times during the organizing of your wedding where you can get his advice or ask his opinion. So keep these special times for just you and your love.
One of these times will be when you decide on your wedding vows. What will you say to each other, what does this wonderful person, the one you are going to spend the rest of your life with mean to you, how do you put it into words.
There are books that can help you, give you some starters. You may have a special song that you can take some of the lines from, a special poem.
These will be very special words, so need careful choosing. This may best be done away from all the hustle and bustle of the wedding arrangements. Why not get away to a romantic spot, somewhere overlooking the beach or a country hideaway.
Whatever you do, make sure your groom to be is not neglected or feeling neglected during all the preparations. They can be very sensitive you know, even if they wont admit it.
Enjoy your special day, and may your future together be wonderful.
There are so many things to prepare and organise that leading up to the wedding can be rather stressful. This is why preparation is the key, and in particular starting this preparation in plenty of time. Start by doing a few tasks each week to ease the stress and to prevent from the tasks becoming overwhelming.
For many, the wedding day is a financial struggle. It is reported that the average cost of a wedding nowadays can be upwards of $20,000, so if you have a budget make sure that you stick to it, no matter how tempting the over-priced wedding dress is in the shop window!
When you get under way planning your wedding, it can soon become apparent that the budget is being eaten up fast, which is why it is essential to save wherever possible. After all, who wants to pay more for something than they have to, even if it is for one of the biggest days of your life.
There are many money saving opportunities along the way:
Reception:
By the time you've totalled up the number of guests you would like to invite to your wedding, you may realise that this is going to be your biggest expense. If need be, save money by inviting only close friends and family and leave those that are friends of friends or distant family members that you may not have seen for 10 years.
Wedding dress:
Shop around for a dress within your budget and also look out for any discounted sales. Also take a look at second-hand dresses.
Photography:
Although it is important to keep memories of the day, instead of having a photographer for the whole day, consider hiring one just for the ceremony and ask family members or friends to take photos throughout the rest of the day.
Catering and alcohol:
You don't have to have a top three-course meal if it is not within your budget. You may be able to offer a buffet, or to use a small catering company instead of the full-service catering at the reception venue. Similarly do not use the reception services' beverages as you will be charged at retail price. If allowed, purchase your own alcohol.
Invitations:
Create your own wedding invitations and print from home. Furthermore, if your invitation list is long, then send a traditional paper invitation to close family members, and contact others via email.
