The wedding is one of the most important days not only for the bride and groom but their families. From the decorations to the clothes and the pictures, we want everything to be perfect and families leave no stone unturned in ensuring the same. While it is an exhilarating time, planning an Indian wedding is not easy.
There is the task of hosting hundreds of guests along with multiple other things such as designing a wedding card, finalising the menu, or deciding on return gifts. Along with this, weddings can be emotionally volatile as you are set to embrace a new journey. This can often result in stress and anxiety for the parties involved.

Organise: Make Lists
There are a hundred things to be taken care of during a wedding. While you are trying your best to ensure all is well planned, it is natural that something or the other can slip your mind. This can result in guilt later and added stress. Here, it is best to plan your day with lists. Make sure to note down your ideas and prepare guest lists, and shopping planners before beginning.
Start Preparing Early
You can avoid last-minute confusion and chaos if you start your wedding preparations well in advance. This includes shopping, booking a venue and finalising gifts among others. By doing this, you can relax and spend more time with your family in the final days. Moreover, waking up early and beginning the preparations can help you avoid traffic and market rush.
Morning Mindfulness
Start each day with intention. Engage in a revitalising morning ritual such as yoga, a quiet walk, or a few minutes to yourself with your favourite drink. This can help you clear your mind, and prepare you for the tasks of the day. Moreover, make sure to take deep breaths throughout the day to manage stress.
