How to take the stress out of wedding planning

Your wedding should be the happiest day of your life, but too many brides and grooms end up so stressed from all the planning and organisation that they can barely enjoy the day! Make sure this doesn't happen to you by following our easy tips for planning your wedding.

If you can afford it, a wedding planner will be a great help on your special day. A good wedding planner will take care of everything from invitations, entertainment and seating arrangements to sorting out any last minute emergencies on the day itself. There are plenty of people in the business and the quality varies widely – so make sure you shop around and look at testimonials before you commit.

Of course, not everyone can afford a wedding planner, but that doesn't mean your big day needs to be a stressful occasion. Why not rope in family and friends to help with the arrangements? Ask a friend who is good at arts and crafts to help with the invitations and decorations, or delegate sorting the evening entertainment to someone else. Once you ask for help for your wedding you'll find that many people will be happy to step forward and be a part of your special day. You can also minise stress by keeping everything informal – have a buffet and a help-yourself bar for example, or have big communal tables that allow people to sit wherever they want.

You can also take the stress out of transport on your big day by contacting a wedding car hire specialist like compareweddingcars.co.uk. These sites will compare the prices of hundreds of wedding cars and limousines to find you the best price, meaning you don't have to spend hours shopping around. Whether you want something modern and exciting or classic and romantic, they'll find the best deals for you and make sure you are taken care of on your big day.
