Super Size
Maybe your friends are having extravagant weddings or have over 300 guests, but that doesn’t mean you have to. Your wedding should be what you want and your guest list should be based on who you want there. Remember, just because a wedding is bigger, doesn’t mean it’s better. Don’t feel guilty about the numbers or your guest list decisions. That is for you and your partner to decide!

Who To Choose
This is one element of planning a wedding where there can be a lot of guilt…the bridal party. Who will be your maid of honour? How do you pick only three bridesmaids? What if someone feels left out? Of course you want to avoid hurting peoples feelings but you have every right to choose the wedding party that suits your day. The trick is to kindly explain the situation to those involved. Chances are they will be very kind and understanding if you simply explain. If you still wish to involve someone in another way, ask them to play a role in your ceremony or reception instead.

Truly Perfect
Maybe the flowers haven’t turned out to be exactly what you imagined or the cake wasn’t quite the colour you wanted. Everyone will tell you that it doesn’t matter and while these little things won’t make or break the day, they may still upset you. There is nothing wrong with wanting your day to be perfect but just remember to be flexible and accept that there are some things that you can’t change.
