Are wedding to-dos piling up, and the excitement starting to fade? Don’t worry, wedding burnout happens to the best of us. Whether you’re navigating dress alterations, managing family opinions, or choosing between roses and ranunculus, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. But there are ways to hit reset, refocus, and fall back in love with the planning process. Here’s how to get back on track.
1. Check Things Off in Order of Importance
Instead of trying to do everything at once, choose your top three priorities and stick to them. Let the little things go to prevent burnout.
Wed&Done Tip: Our Magical Planning Path helps you focus on the most important tasks first, ensuring that you’re never overwhelmed by too many details at once.
2. Set Realistic Deadlines
Your wedding isn’t happening tomorrow—so don’t try to plan it in a week! Spread out your to-dos, set deadlines, and give yourself grace when unexpected delays pop up.
Wed&Done Tip: With our magical path feature, you can easily map out your tasks and track your progress, keeping everything under control without the panic.
3. Step Away From the Pinterest Board
It’s time for a wedding detox. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, step away from your Pinterest board, binder, or emails for a few days to recharge.
Wed&Done Tip: Wed&Done streamlines all your choices, so when you come back, you’ll have clear options waiting for you—no endless scrolling required.
4. Get Your Adrenaline Pumping
Sometimes relaxing isn’t enough. Try getting your blood flowing with a workout, a hike, or a dance class to clear your mind and boost your energy.
5. Outsource Some of Your Responsibilities
If you’re feeling stretched too thin, delegate! Ask your partner, family, or friends to take on tasks, or… just become a Wed&Doner already! 🙂
Wed&Done Tip: You don’t have to do it all! With Wed&Done, we help manage the details, from vendors to timelines, so you can focus on what really matters.
6. Reconnect With Your Spouse-To-Be
Wedding stress can make you forget why you’re getting married in the first place. Take some time to reconnect with your partner—without any wedding talk.
7. Ease Back Into the Wedding Prep
Break down big projects into smaller tasks. Tackle your seating chart one step at a time—first, the layout, then guest categories, and so on.
Wed&Done Tip: Our Magical Planning Path makes it easy to divide big tasks into smaller, bite-sized pieces so you never feel overwhelmed.
8. Focus on the Fun Parts
Wedding planning should be fun! Set aside time for the parts you enjoy, like cake tasting or dress shopping, and make it a social event with friends.
9. Call in Professional Reinforcements
If you’re still feeling overwhelmed, consider hiring a wedding planner to take over some of the more tedious tasks.
Wed&Done Tip: Think of Wed&Done as your virtual wedding planner. We handle the details, so you can focus on enjoying the process.
10. Remind Yourself Why You’re Getting Married
When things get stressful, take a moment to remember why you’re doing all this in the first place. It’s not about the flowers or the cake—it’s about marrying the love of your life.
