You may be able to control a lot of different things in regards to your wedding day, but one thing that can easily spiral out of control, and get out of hand, is the drama that starts to stick on to you and your big day. Whether it’s trying to find a vendor that’s running late or trying to sober up a bridesmaid that’s had too many pre-wedding shots of tequila, you may find yourself face-to-face with a moment of drama wondering what to do.
If you’re looking to keep your wedding drama free, here are 7 ways to stay proactive to make sure that happens.
- Plan Ahead
The more you’re able to plan ahead, the less uncertainty you’ll have on your wedding day. Be sure to plan out an itinerary for the day and pass it along to everyone involved, from bridesmaids to each and every one of your wedding vendors.
- Stay Organized
Keep all your wedding planning documents in one place and have them readily available, with paper copies and digitally, so you can refer to them if you have questions or need to double check anything.
- Delegate Tasks
The less you’re responsible for on your wedding day, the less drama you’ll find yourself having to deal with. Delegate tasks to friends, wedding vendors, and even trusty family members.
- Ditch Your Phone
You may have an urge to cling to your cell phone on your wedding day, but I order to avoid drama that might come your way via text messages and social media, turn your phone off for the day.
- Give Yourself Alone Time
Schedule in some time for yourself on the morning of your wedding. If your bridesmaids are arguing about something, head out for a walk or even go to a different room so you can have some peace and quiet.
- Ignore Drama That Comes Your Way
If people present you with problems on your wedding day or stories about guests not getting along, exit the conversation and remember it’s more important, in that moment, to enjoy your party.
- Think About Your Guest List
Before sending out invitations, review your guest list and consider taking people off who you know will add drama to the wedding day. Surround yourself with people who want to be there to celebrate you and the love that you have found in your life.
