I love party planning , but let ’ s be honest , wedding planning is a beast of its own . My advice to any future bride would be : z Realize there is no such thing as a “ simple ” wedding . Even if you don ’ t want champagne flutes and bows tied to the chairs , you will still need to tell someone you don ’ t want them . Say “ no ” as often as you need to , and realize millions of people throughout history have successfully planned their wedding , so you can too ! z When it comes to choosing vendors , go with your gut ! If you don ’ t communicate well with someone , keep looking . z Don ’ t be afraid to ask for help , and delegate tasks . You have so many people surrounding you who love and care for you ! z Loosen your grip and give your helpers and vendors creative license . They do what they do best ! Communicate what is important to you , and let them worry about the tiny details . You ’ ll be so much less stressed in the end . z Finally , and most importantly , make specific plans for you , your parents , and your wedding party to EAT that day ! I ’ m not kidding ! Set time aside and choose the cuisine , or when the day comes , you ’ ll be too busy and forget . www . wyoweddings . com 23
