Sh*t Happens

With the days winding down, getting closer and closer to the big day, it is very easy to great stressed out. Even when you said you would NEVER be that type of bride taming the Bridezilla beast can become more difficult. Just take a moment and breathe. Remembering that stuff happens  and realizing this ahead of time can prepare you.


1. Your Bridal Party.

It is such a great honor to be a part of someone's special day, but that doesn't mean it's easy. There's a lot that you ask of your friends with you pop the question to them. With that being said, feel free to give them a nudge if you feel like you're not getting the help you need. Maybe someone hasn't ordered their tux yet. Maybe your bridesmaids aren't getting along. Don't let this stress you out. Handle it with ease and class, as you always do. Or delegate someone else to handle it ;)




2. People will come that didn't RSVP or Won't that did. 

Yes you planned and organized, not to mention paid, did the exact count that RSVP'd but let's face it,it happens. This is up to you on how to handle. Open seating makes this setting easier. But it is OK to tell people there isn't space for you at your seating arranged wedding. Especially at venues with limited space. 

3. Invitations.

You are getting all your invitations in order  but there are always family friends and friends of friends, or even new friends that you want to invite. I mean I would love to invite EVERYONE. But the reality is there are budgets and space capacities. Just do your best and know that people have been there, they understand. 



4. Your Vendor, Photographer, Minister, Venue CANCELS! (or shows up)

Worst ever! The fact is this happens! Just take a moment, and a glass of wine, and breath. The great thing is as brides we receive emails daily on all things bridal. Just take a look at deals you may have received at one of those bridal showers and go with it. Just know it's not the end of the world and no one will know that this wasn't your first choice caterer.  The could actually show up and the quality really isn't up to par again. The party will go on.




5. EVERYTHING WILL STRESS YOU OUT!
 Lets face it, anything can set you off! Just remember what this day is really about. Marrying the love of your life and sharing this beautiful moment with your friends and family. The best advice I've received from married women is to enjoy every moment. Because in a blink of an eye it will be over.
