New Year’s Resolutions For Brides And Grooms-To-Be
December is coming to an end, which means your wedding year is now in sight. If you’re tying the knot in 2016, you’ll no doubt have lots of planning to do over the next few months, which is why you should read our new year’s resolutions aimed at soon-to-be married couples.
Our helpful tips will ensure next year will run as smoothly as possible right up until the special day itself.
- Get organised
The secret to a stress-free wedding is exceptional organisation. You might be a bit scatty in real life, but it’s time to channel your inner PA and sort everything out. Make a spreadsheet for your budget, write your guest list and keep track of addresses and RSVPs.
Book your suppliers – from your wedding car in Manchester to your florist – and make sure you take note of when and how much you’ve paid them.
As the wedding date approaches, you will need to be on the ball with balances owed, chasing RSVPs and keeping your venue up to date with arrangements, so start the year organised to avoid a headache later on.
- Start a health regime – and stick to it
Many of us use the new year as an excuse to kickstart a health and fitness regime, putting a gluttonous Christmas behind us and slipping on our Lycra to break a sweat in the gym.
But if you want to lose some weight, tone up, make your skin glow or feel fitter and healthier, make sure you stick to your new regime.
While a huge number of people will begin skipping the gym and tucking into biscuits long before the end of January, it’s important you commit yourself to your new lifestyle to achieve your goals by the wedding day.
- Ask for help
You might feel guilty asking for help with your wedding, but you’ll feel even worse if you find out your friends and family think you’ve turned into a Bridezilla. That’s why it’s so crucial you delegate responsibilities and get your loved ones involved when possible.
You can ask a relative to help with your invites, get a friend to set up decorations the day before, or even give a sibling a job to look after, such as sourcing your wedding transport. You’ll probably find close friends and family like feeling involved in your special day and will be even more proud and excited about the wedding as a result.
