    Proven Strategies to Manage Wedding Stress, Stay Grounded, and Embrace the Romance of Your Big Day - #42

    Proven Strategies to Manage Wedding Stress, Stay Grounded, and Embrace the Romance of Your Big Day - #42

    Managing wedding stress leads to staying grounded, and enables you to embrace the romance of your wedding day.
    Are you feeling overwhelmed with wedding planning tasks? Do you find yourself constantly rushing or feeling like there aren’t enough hours in the day?
    Perhaps family and friends are putting undue pressure on you to make everything perfect. Or maybe you’re experiencing cold feet as the big day draws near.
    This podcast is for engaged couples who are stressed out with wedding planning and family expectations but want a fun wedding day.
    Firstly, it’s important to recognize that wedding planning is a big task. It involves coordinating multiple vendors, selecting a venue, choosing a menu, picking out decor, and so much more. It’s no wonder that it can be overwhelming at times. But how do you manage stress?
    To help manage stress, try breaking down your to-do list into smaller, more manageable tasks. Set deadlines for each task, and prioritize them based on importance. Furthermore, this will help you stay on track and avoid feeling like you’re running out of time.
    However, it’s important to communicate with your partner and other family members involved in the wedding planning process. So, to manage stress, you must be clear about your needs and expectations, and don’t be afraid to delegate tasks if necessary. Remember, you don’t have to do everything yourself.
    Lastly, if you’re experiencing cold feet, it’s important to take some time to reflect on why you’re feeling that way. Additionally, talk to your partner and try to identify any underlying issues. Remember that it’s normal to have doubts and fears, but it’s important to work through them together. This will allow you to manage stress together.

Helpful show!

I’m not the target audience for this show, but I was thrilled to listen to a few episodes. The show is very helpful and the hosts are engaging. I will be sending the show to anyone I know getting married!

Must Listen if you are getting hitched

I wish this had been around when I got hitched. Something for every step of the wedding planning. Watch out wedding planners, there is another way to get it all squared away.

emjay217 ,

Great resource

What a great resource for engaged couples before the big day. There are so many episodes to choose from that there seems to be something for nearly every “random” situation engaged couples face when planning their weddings.
