Discover the most challenging aspects of wedding planning according to real couples and find proactive solutions to make your journey stress-free.

While every individual's experience is unique, there are some common themes when it comes to wedding day regrets. No one wants to look back and wish their big day had gone differently. Consider these common regrets and address them BEFORE your wedding day.

Why is wedding planning so stressful? You’re only planning one of the most momentous days of your lives. You likely have no experience and are overwhelmed by all the tasks ahead of you. All of this taken together can be a recipe for stress when it comes to wedding planning. Here are some of the other reasons why wedding planning can be so stressful.

One of the most important things to you in your wedding planning process is choosing which details are worth spending time on. The right photographer and the perfect menu for your reception dinner should be enough to keep you busy, but as time goes on there are other wedding details that just don’t deserve a spot in your planner. You can let go of some small, less-important decisions like what typeface should be used for invitations or when the cake will need to be delivered and focus more energy instead on larger choices such as who's going to officiate at your ceremony or deciding how many guests each table should seat. Letting go of these things is not only relieving, it will give you more space for those bigger decisions without making life any harder or stressing yourself out.

Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion. Once it's over, you can't go back. Don't fall victim to these common wedding day regrets.
