The One Rule for Having a Successful Wedding

In her book "The Art of Gathering," author Priya Parker writes that "90% of a gathering's success is set in motion before the actual event."

Whether the gathering is a dinner party or a large wedding, advance planning of every detail is important. That may seem overwhelming but it's really good news! If you plan well, and keep meticulous records of everything you're doing and of the agreements you've made, your potential success is much greater. Of course, things happen because weddings are composed of people, and people don't always do what we want. But having a variable of 10% is reasonable. The book gives numerous examples of how to set gatherings up to succeed before anyone has even left for the event. A lot of it is good, old-fashioned thinking about how others will feel being invited to and experiencing your wedding. You may not believe you have time to think about how each guest will feel, but it's important, so take the time. 

Even with a wedding planner, weddings are challenging because most people plan only one (or hopefully just a few) in their lifetimes. Use a notebook and paper or a computer but do plan every aspect from announcement to the last guest leaving, and your wedding is very likely to fulfill your dreams.

Defy Wedding Day Stress Say Yes to Joyfulness

Defy Wedding Day Stress - Say Yes to Joyfulness!

How do you create a stress-free wedding experience for yourself, your betrothed, and your guests? Is it even possible? Isn't stress part of the excitement of it all? First, understand the difference: stress is an emotional state due to demanding circumstances. Stress is negative. Excitement is a feeling of great enthusiasm and eagerness. Excitement is positive.

So set an intention, yes, decide to be excited on your wedding day, but not stressed. Your bubbling joy is the gift you give to those who love you. Now that you've decided, what actions do you take to ensure that you can carry through with your decision?

Number one: don't experiment. When it comes to your dress, hair, and makeup, go with what makes you feel good. Be who you are! Choose to look special, but don't try to create a new self for this one day. The person marrying you is doing so because of how you have been in the past. Listen to others' ideas if you must, but honor yourself by choosing what pleases you. 

Number two: make a budget and stay within it. Money matters cause more stress and more discord among couples than just about anything else. Just as you learn to say no to ideas that aren't you, say no to being overly showy or grand in your wedding plans. 

Number three: talk with your photographer so that he or she truly understands what you want captured in your photos. Even a simple wedding can look elegant in the photos.
