Last Minute Brides

August 29th, 2008

If you are a procrastinator, you know it. You are the type of person who sends out your Christmas cards on January 2nd, and is waiting in line at the post office on April 15th to mail in your taxes. You probably have every intention of getting things done in advance, and yet you always seem to end up scrambling at the last minute.

If this sounds like you, it will be important that you find a way to go against your usual ways and plan your wedding efficiently from the start. Perhaps you have an organized friend who would be happy to help you. Brides who know that the wedding planning is going to end up a mess in their own hands should consider hiring a wedding planner to get them through the process.

Another thing that will help a last minute type of gal is to get as many things done early as possible. That way, whatever is left to do in the end will be more manageable. What this means is that if your planning workbook says to purchase bridesmaid jewelry for gifts two or three months before the wedding, mark it on your calendar to complete by four months out. That way, if you do take a little longer than planned to find just the right bridesmaid jewelry gifts, you will still have it done by two or three months out. It is almost like playing a little trick on yourself, building in extra time to compensate for procrastination.

One other good way to stay on top of your planning is with a reward system. If you find yourself putting off wedding planning because you find it to be a real chore, promise yourself a treat for every major thing that you complete on time. It might be all that you need to keep yourself going through the wedding planning process.

Wedding planning will be a much easier process if you allow yourself plenty of time to complete it. Brides who tend to procrastinate will only make the process more difficult and stressful for themselves. Find the way the you can motivate yourself to stay on task and on time, and you will sail into your wedding day feeling happy and relaxed.
