Congratulations! He (or she) finally put a ring on it, and you’re well on your way to saying “I Do;” however, convincing yourself that you don’t need a wedding planner can turn what’s supposed to be one of the best days of your life easily into the most miserable.
You’ve dreamed of this day since you were a little girl. We get it. Now is the time to put those premeditated plans into place, but what you thought was a piece of cake may overwhelm you. Though we know you have his hand to have and to hold, we also know that getting a wedding planner at this time will come in handy as well.
It’s your wedding, and having a wedding planner is not want but a need. You’ve sought out a professional to bake your cake and design your dress; why not let a planner do what she does best? Ease your stress. Here are six solid reasons why you should get a wedding planner:
1. Take Strides, Not Steps
Whether your engagement is 6 weeks or 6 months, Murphy’s Law states that your cookie will crumble on you, and you’ll need someone to sweep the crumbs up off of you. With the numerous wedding details to look over in a given period of time, you take leaps with your wedding plans when you have a planner alongside you.
The bottom line: you won’t have a nervous breakdown if you have a planner who can assure you that everything is on track.
2. More For Your Money
As a bride, you’ll probably want a lot of things to take home and try, and the excitement to shop may get the best of you. You might have ideas on where to go and what to get, but having a planner to consult and guide you will help you avoid breaking the bank. Planners have a list of suppliers that offer them special rates for their products and services. Your hired help can hook you up with these suppliers at low costs. See it as getting more bang for your buck.
3. Make Quick Decisions
As previously mentioned, there are countless wedding day details to look over. Given that you’re pressured by an approaching date and hundreds of guests who’ll be attending, you’ll need to make decisions quick and in a hurry. The flowers, venue, seating arrangements, and more! Experienced planners will have recommendations on what to get. They’ll have sound suggestions on what goes well with what. They’ve been into this so many times that they’re experts when it comes to making decisions in the midst of wedding worries and woes. The bottom line: you won’t have a nervous breakdown if you have a planner who can assure you that everything is on track.
4. Cater to You
Hiring a planner gives way to the easy management of your tasks both personally and professionally. You’ll definitely find yourself in moments sitting next to your husband-to-be with your planner, discussing details about your wedding, exploring venues, going to tastings, and more. But a perk of investing in a planner is that time to look after yourself and not get consumed with marital madness. Having a planned means having a moment to indulge in the 3 m’s: massages, manicures, and mimosas. Doing so keeps you relaxed and the stress at a distance.
5. Personal Assistant
Having a planner is as good as having a personal assistant and will save you from a lot of trouble as your not-so-little helper also functions as a middleman. Should a crisis arise, your planner steps in to make certain that you, your family, and all those you love will continue to have fun on your wedding day. The worry of attending to another person’s needs shouldn’t be any of your concern.
6. The Day After
The wedding tasks are not complete even after you exchange I Do’s. There are still things to attend to like returning supplies, sending Thank You notes, and settling bills. Basically, your planner will be supervising the clean-up after your perfect day. These things may not seem so important anymore now that the wedding is over but they still need to get accomplished. Leave the to-do list to your planner and fly away to your dream destination with your husband. The two of you are now newlyweds, and it’s time to act like it!
There you have it. Getting a wedding planner will surely get a lot of things done without taking a toll on you. Although paying for one is an extra expense, having one ensures the start of your marital bliss and an experience that you’ll always look back on with relief rather than regret.
Hiring a wedding planner is like having your very own PA in the world of weddings.
Surprisingly a big part of their job is negotiation and mediation between family members and friends. A wedding brings out the best and sadly the worst in people. Jealousy, trust issues, estranged family members, crazy mother in law they have seen it all. Which is a good thing as they know how to defuse the troublesome situation and help the engaged couple deal with the emotional crap that is sometimes thrown at them. No, it’s not fair but emotion will be running high and sometimes it’s great to have a professional come in and make everyone take a step back and get a different perspective.
Wedding planners are all about perfection. It takes a long time and a lot of hard work to organize the perfect wedding and they think of all the extra little details that usually get overlooked. They bring couples ideas to life, they make the impossible possible and they don’t even break a sweat.Go find your planner now and then chill.
