Resisting Your Inner Bridezilla

The idea that as a bride-t0-be you must control everything is fodder for your inner bridezilla. To tame your "zilla" from getting out and devouring everything in its path, keep in a mind a few tips while planning your wedding:

  1. Letting go and delegating. You probably think that you have to do it all alone, but this isn't true. If you haven't recruited help, yet feel completely overwhelmed by all the planning, then find someone to lift some responsibility off of your shoulders. It's okay to not like every aspect of the planning process and being honest with yourself about what you least like can actually be your mental list of tasks that you can delegate.
  2. Have a back-up plan. Knowing that you are prepared for worst-case scenarios, will give you greater peace of mind that you've done all you could to ensure a stress-free wedding. Make sure you give yourself enough time to walk-through your wedding day.
  3. Remember the "our" in your day. If you are taking on all the responsibility, then you may not realize that your feelings of stress or anxiety are probably felt and experienced by your significant other. Remember not only why you are getting married, but that you are creating a milestone memory with your partner and will recall the details for years to come.
