Keeping on top of everything is a must so we’re here to provide you with some handy tips to hekp you reach the big day with ease!

Lists, Lists, Lists

Lists will be your saviour throughout the wedding planning process. The first thing you should be doing is making a list of everything that needs to be done.

As you complete them simply tick them off your list so you can see how much progress you’ve made and how much more you’ve got to do!

Maid of Honour

Utilise your maid of honour, she’s there to help you out throughout the wedding process so make sure you’re making the most out of it.

Organising the Hen Party should be her domain but if there’s something you’d rather her do instead such as take care of invitations then don’t be afraid to ask.

Wedding Planner

If you can afford it then having a wedding planner could be a life saver. You tell her what you want and she does most of the leg work.

If you can’t afford a wedding planner then buy a wedding planner diary. They’re amazing little wedding diaries that tell you when you should be doing what and help you keep up to date on everything from invites to ordering the food and booking the venue.

Apps

You may think it sounds stupid but there are plenty of great wedding apps that can help you organise your wedding.

There are ones that will help you with invites, ones that give you timetables and reminders and ones that can let you plan the entire thing from your phone – really handy if you’re always on the move.

Friends and Family

These are probably the most essential part of planning and organising a wedding. Your mum will be more than willing to help you and if you’ve got a big family then you can spread it across them all.

Even if you’re asking people to give you and your bridesmaids lifts to and from dress fittings, your family and friends will be more than willing to help in any way they can, so take advantage!
