Women getting married normally believe that they are visiting have to knuckle down and work very hard in order to create the ideal wedding setting they have always wanted. Actually if you plan things appropriately and keep it basic, you will discover that that entire wedding preparation can be just as enjoyable as the wedding itself.
To make this feasible though you must be willing to do 2 things; you have to be ready to relinquish being a perfectionist and be prepared to accept help from other people. If you want the wedding planning to be something that is going to take care of itself, you need to be prepared to give up a bit of the control.
So if you are willing to allow others to help you, draw up a listing of closest friend and family, invite them for tea or cocktails at your home and say "Everyone, I really want for this wedding to be planned and arranged as a group effort. Who's in?" You will be amazed by the amount of people that are truly happy to be part of the planning process.
Tell your team participants that you do not want wedding presents from them, but for them to just to cover the costs of part of the wedding. Somebody might completely take care of the wedding favors, somebody could get the flowers, somebody might hire the table design and someone could take care of the invites.
Make sure everybody comes out of the conference knowing exactly what their job is. Be very sure that everyone knows the "due date", by which time the proposals have to be in. That way everybody knows exactly what everybody else is doing.
Generally speaking, individuals who choose to assist you will want to have their say. Everybody has an imaginative streak and do not want to be simple administrators. Because individuals might have developed personal choices that they may want to force onto you, you must be firm about exactly what you want. Tell them you truly value all that they have done but that you simply have a "gut feeling" that you have to stay with that specific option.
Here your personal sensitiveness and social skills enter into the equation. You must be able to making everyone feel helpful and appreciated, and at the same time see to it that they do not "take control" of your planning completely. If team members start trying to force their opinions on you, simply joke about it and say "I never ever said the decisions were going to be taken democratically!" Individuals generally understand that in the end it's your wedding and you're entitled to have it the way you want it.
Organizing a wedding in this manner will get individuals included right from the start and will take almost all of the weight off your shoulders. When the day is over you will be asking yourself why everyone doesn't just plan weddings this way!
