Juggling Act: The Art of Balancing a Job and Planning a Wedding
| Planning a wedding can become a full time job that can get in the way of the job that sends you a paycheck. How can you balance working with planning? Follow these helpful ideas. |
|
|
 |
Divide & Conquer. Split planning responsibilities with your partner (and family members) so you’re not completely overwhelmed. Arrange a weekly meeting so you can go over details and catch up on what you have to accomplish over the week. |
|

|
|
Use Your Lunchtime Wisely. Instead of chatting with people all during the day, set aside an hour during lunch to make phone calls to vendors. If you have to run out to meet with a vendor or see a party space, schedule it during your lunch hour. |
|
||
|
|
Stay Organized. Maintain clear records of conversations, pricing, and other research to keep your mind clear and relaxed. Organization will make you feel in control of your wedding planning project and less anxious. |
|

|
|
Make Email Your Main Source of Communication. We’re not telling you to spend your working hours on-line, however, if you share an office, communicating with vendors through your fingertips is better than having your personal life on display for all to hear. |
|
||
|
|
Hold Off Family Members. To keep 9-5 wedding conversations at bay, ask family members not to call you during the workday to discuss wedding plans. Suggest that nighttime or weekends are a better time to have conversations. |
|
||
|
|
Hire a Wedding Planner. From keeping your budget on track to arranging meetings with vendors, wedding planners can take a lot of pressure off your shoulders. Hiring a wedding planner doesn’t have to break the bank. You can hire a planner to handle every detail of your affair or just assist you for specific tasks, such as finding a reception location or florist. |
|
||
|
|
Use Your Personal Days. As you get closer to the wedding date, take a day or two off (if you can) for dress fittings and other tasks. After all, that’s what company personal days are for! |
|
||
|
||
| As you can see planning your wedding doesn’t have to take over every aspect of your life. Prioritize and organize so that your wedding planning becomes a part of your day, not your entire day. The above tips should be a great start to the great art of balancing your job and your wedding. |
