5 Sensible Rules of Wedding Planning

Family can prove difficult when planning a wedding. They never make a fuss when it has to do with normal things. Like picking an apartment or even grocery shopping. This pertains to the choice of life partner too. They wouldn’t make that much fuss.

But when it comes to weddings, they act like kids who can’t make up their mind about literally anything and everything.

That said, here are 5 sensible rules in regard to wedding planning:

Rule 1: Please stop talking about your wedding.

Rule 2: Honestly, if you didn’t get this already: stop talking about your wedding.

Rule 3: Given that most of you will not heed the earlier two rules, here’s another reminder: Stop talking about your wedding.

Rule 4: It’s important that you find your group of yes-men. These are people with whom you can share your wildest ideas and they will respond in the affirmative. In fact, some of them will say they love it too. Of course, if there are concerns, they will mention it. But for the most part, they will tell you how wonderful your ideas are. This doesn’t have to be your parents or relatives. Nor does it have to be your bridesfolk too.

Rule 5: Ensure that your yes-men do not share vital details that you’ve planned with family members or your circle of friends. This way you do not have to justify anything much less the details. Telling people what they have to know is necessary. Apart from that, there is no need to divulge any details.

That said, this criticism comes from a place of wanting your wedding day to be perfect. From a place of love. Sometimes, it’s jealousy and being malicious but not always. That said, their idea of what will make your wedding day beautiful is hardly what you might have in mind. Most people will fail to understand that.
