How to Avoid a Wedding Planning Disaster
Author: Niles  | Posted: 27-11-2007 | Views: 11 | Rating: (50)  (?) 
So, you’re getting married. Marriage can be a great and wonderful experience, but planning for a wedding is always hectic. Flowers, bridesmaids, music, locations. You’re no doubt going to need help figuring things out and getting things ready. Read on for several tips on how to avoid wedding planning disasters.
Letting others help. Let your friends and family help, but don’t give them too much power or things will start to get ugly. One of the biggest problems is letting everyone else take full control. Arguments will not only arise between you and them, but they’ll also arise amongst themselves. Your mom is going to never agree with your best friend’s taste in invitation colors and your best friend is never going to agree with your cousin about choices for decorations.
Letting others NOT help. More problems will arise if you don’t let your friends and family have enough control, too. Make sure you let others help and make sure you don’t become obsessive over every little detail. You’ll need to give in to certain decisions and stand firm on others. Just be tactful and patient and everything should turn out fine.
Focus on the budget. The average wedding costs roughly $20 thousand nowadays. One of the first things you should do is divide up the most important parts and figure out how much you’re willing to spend on each. That way, when Aunt Martha wants extra lavender ribbons, you can tell her that it’s not in the budget. Remember that a wedding only lasts for a day, but marriage is (hopefully) forever.
Take breaks and make sure to laugh. Having a sense of humor is very important in dealing with stress. It will also help to make all the planning seem fun. Take a night out to watch a movie or go to dinner with your fiancée. If you don’t take breaks, everyone will feel exhausted by the time the wedding comes around.
Focus on marriage, not the wedding. The wedding is an important thing for your friends and family, but marriage is more important. Remember, you’re going to start living with a new person (if you aren’t already) as well as go on a honeymoon. You’re going to want extra money after the big day.
Let the day be great no matter what. Don’t let a sudden thunderstorm cause you to frown. Something will undoubtedly go wrong at your wedding, but unless you’re able to look past the little things, you’ll always remember them. If you trip, forget about it. If the cake falls on the floor, try to laugh. Your wedding isn’t ruined, it just turned into a good story you’ll be able to share with your children someday.
The day will come and go no matter what happens. If you aren’t able to enjoy it, you’ll always looks back and have regrets. Learn to just be accepting and your wedding can turn out to be one of the happiest moments of your life.

Do You Want Something Different Than the Same Old Plain Wedding Invitation?
By: Jeff Fain | 10/10/2008
Contemporary wedding invitations are sometimes too stark, but many are just right. They feature rough sketches, computer-generated images, or hand-drawn illustrations of hearts, nondescript flowers, hibiscus flowers, lilies, green leaves, butterflies, or dark silhouettes of the bride and groom against sensual, deep reds, pinks, or sunset oranges.
