How can recently engaged couples overcome wedding planning anxiety?
You need to make some general decisions about the invite list to determine the size of the wedding. Ask yourself: “Will the guest list be 250 people or 50?” “How many do you get to invite and how many people do your parents get to invite?” Also, pick your bridal party, because then you’ll know who’s in your inner circle and who you can talk to about the planning and your feelings. You should also find a home base resource, such as TheKnot.com, another wedding web site or a book. This will help you do your research and get planning tools, such as checklists and budget trackers. Web sites provide a community of people to talk to; as much as your bridal party loves you, they don’t really want to talk about your wedding constantly for the next 12 months.
