No More Bickering: A Guide to Hassle-free Wedding Planning

Bickering?! Definitely not something that should be on your wedding planning checklist. So here are a few ideas to help keep you both focused on the things that are important during the tricky planning stage and to prevent squabbles.

Set aside some quality time for wedding talk. This is likely to be more effective than constant snippets throughout the day. Block off a specific time, pour a glass of wine, and snuggle up together on the sofa. Discuss any progress or developments and the options that are available to you. Choose a time that allows you both to be comfortable and express your concerns and expectations.

Don’t sweat the small stuff. While every minor detail of your day is important, right now is the time to concentrate on the big things. There are probably major decisions that need to be made, so focus on those to help maintain your sanity. If some of the smaller details have to be changed or left behind, try not to worry. You will still have a fabulous day.

It’s likely that many couples may have to compromise on dates, venues, suppliers – all sorts of things during this difficult time. But remember, you are in this together. Help each other to compromise and come to terms with necessary changes to plans. Understand when your other half seems disproportionately upset about something that you are less concerned about. This is all good practice for your married life together.

Most importantly, remember that it’s your wedding. Your love is strong this year, as it will be next year and every year after that. The most important thing is that you are safe, well, and have each other.
