Weddings are famously stressful to plan for, but this doesn’t actually mean that they have to be. If you are planning a wedding and you want to try and make sure it goes to plan, but that it is also not so stressful throughout, there are a lot of things you might want to bear in mind here. If you can do the following, you should find that you are going to have a much less stressful wedding, and that it really makes a huge difference to your whole experience, so let’s take a look right now.
Prioritise What Matters
One of the things that gets in the way during a wedding planning process is failing to remember what actually matters. If you are finding yourself in that place, it’s vital that you do whatever you can to try and prioritise what actually matters – which is that you and your partner are going to have the day you want, and that you are forgetting as much as possible about the opinions of everyone else. This is vital, as is letting go of the idea that the day has to be perfect. If you can do that, it’s going to make a huge difference.
Delegate
You will have lots of people around you for a reason, and one of those reasons is that they are going to be able to help you with the planning of the day. It’s important that you make use of them, that you listen to people when they say they are going to be there to help, and that you actually do make use of them in whatever way you need to. If you can do that, you are going to be in a much better place and you will find that it’s so much less stressful on the whole.
Choose A Stress-Free Venue
Venues do differ a lot, and it’s vital that you are going to try and find yourself one that is truly stress-free as soon as possible. This means that you are going to be much better off if you find a venue that has built-in coordinators, catering and so on. All in all, finding the best venue for your needs, and doing it early on, is going to make a huge difference to all of this. You’ll find that you have much less stress when you have managed to do this early on, so remember that.
Limit Your Guest List
If you can keep your guest list small, it makes everything a lot easier, and you are going to find that you are much more likely to be able to really achieve what you want. It makes it more affordable, it means there is less to plan for, and generally it just enables you to really make the most of the day. With all that in mind, you should find that you are going to have a much better time planning it and that it can be a lot less stressful on the whole.

Simple Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp Every Day
The great thing about brain training is that it doesn’t require anything fancy, it’s more about building small habits that challenge your mind in different ways. Reading a book, even for just a few minutes a day, helps your brain stay engaged. Solving puzzles, like crosswords or Sudoku, also gives your brain a workout, pushing it to think critically and solve problems. It’s not about doing these things perfectly. It’s about keeping the brain active and flexible, like any other muscle.
