Take a Break!

As we all know, wedding planning can be stressful! No matter how much fun you are truly having, you can’t avoid vendors and family needing to change plans last second, unexpected changes in the schedule, and that pesky little blemish on the right side of your nose right before your hair and makeup test run. And of course, there is the relationship with your soon-to-be. Little things can turn into big issues as the days and weeks and months of wedding planning pass by. So how do you spend a little time with your honey and keep the wedding stress to a minimum!? Here are a few fun ideas (just remember, no wedding talk during the activities)!
Catch a flick. And no, it CAN’T be about weddings or have any weddings in it. If you have trouble NOT talking about the wedding, this is a great little date as there shouldn’t be much talking involved. If your man has been super great thus far in the planning process, let him pick the flick.
Get some exercise together. Nothing beats releasing endorphins! So run to the gym and hit the treadmill and weights. Working out together will help inspire you to look fabulous for the big day, without actually talking about it.
Cook dinner. Make it a big event by getting dressed up and lighting a few candles. Who knows, maybe you’ll create a fabulous dish you’ll make for years and years to come.
Get creative. Excited about moving into a new apartment or house, but dread all the little projects you need and want to do to make it “just right”? Get as much finished as you can pre-wedding so you don’t have to worry about it when you come back from your honeymoon. Get together and sew those new drapes or restain your kitchen table.
Write thank you notes. Okay, okay. So this one has WEDDING written all over it. But! Those thank you notes wont write themselves. If you’ve been holding off on writing them, take a few hours out of your week, order a pizza, and get to writing. (And don’t forget about the gifts you receive on your actual wedding day once you return from your honeymoon!)

Wedding planning takes time, thought and effort. However, sometimes taking a little break can refresh the entire creative process and make it a little easier. Everything truly memorable takes time.

Yes! We agree! And taking a step back is also a good way to give your PRIORITIES for the wedding celebration a chance to come into a clearer focus.

Hi there!
Check out this new blog these three 20-something girls are doing - one of them is getting married and the other 2 are bridesmaids. They all blog about their experiences and about the upcoming wedding. It’s pretty funny. Anyway, here’s an ad linking to http://thatswhatshewed.wordpress.com to post if you want. Thanks so much! Keep up the good work, we love your blog!
