9 THINGS EVERY BRIDE SHOULD KNOW



9 THINGS A BRIDE SHOULD KNOW WHILE PLANNING FOR THE DAY

Planning for a wedding is inevitable and it can be a beautiful yet stressful period for both the bride and groom as well as other people involved. However one thing that should keep the bride going admits the stress is why she is getting married. Weddings whether the bride and groom accept it or not is for the family and loved ones while the marriage is for the couple. 

Many Wedding Day Coordinators have written on things brides should note before the day however, a good glance at this tips by Olabusola's Review would be of additional help.


1. NEVER BORROW TO WED


Weddings are only for a day or two and borrowing for a day event at the expense of many days (the marriage) might become a regrettable action. You do not need all the paparazzi that comes with elaborate weddings, instead make your own paparazzi in your own unique way. Once you know you are not doing a society wedding start your planning early enough. Go for affordable but unique materials and items. Be creative and prudent in your spending.


 
2. NOT ALL YOUR PRETTY FRIENDS ARE SUITABLE FOR THE ROLE OF BRIDE'S MAID.


It is often said that "the more the merrier" but this does not always work in the the case of a moderate wedding. The more maids you have, the more trouble.

 Do an audition in your mind or with your chief bride's maid and choose a selected few whom you know would be able to corporate with you in every respect, thereby saving yourself from unnecessary stress.  If you do not have friends you can borrow wisely or manage a few. Especially when you do not have an event planner. 





3. PLAN YOUR PICTURES AND POSTURES AHEAD OF THE DAY.


 If music be the food of love then pictures are the memory or brain of every wedding. 
You may need to plan how and where your pictures would be taken. The best of wedding pictures are taken before the church service, especially the ones for the Photo Album. With this the Bride, Groom , the maids , Grooms's men and Little Prince and Princess would look as fresh as a new born. This method gives peace and confidence to the couple. It also keeps the day special.


4. NEVER UNDER UTILIZE YOUR INDUSTRIOUS FRIENDS.


Do not out of sentiment or beauty make a friend who can help you manage the event, your chief Bride's maid. If you make a lady who can help you supervise the vendors or one who can help you run smart errands or manage the day your chief, then you will incapacitate her and render her less functional. However, your chief must equally be a smart helper and not a Queen who needs to be served. About all learn to delegate responsibilities to trustworthy persons.


5. HAVE A PLANNING BOOK 

With or without the help of an event planner, every Bride must have a small booklet where she writes her to do list. This booklet must always be with you. With the planning book, a Bride can also keep a tab on the event planner. Content of the book:
  • who to call and when to call them
  • all wedding plans
  • vendors details
  • ideas needed for the day
  • venues and relevant address for the event
  • time and dates for meeting with vendors.
  • daily activities
  • items needed to be purchased or rented
  • estimates of items needed for the day
  • daily achievement in the wedding plans`

6. ENSURE YOU TRY YOUR WEDDING DRESS BEFORE TAKEN IT FOR CHURCH CHECK


 In a situation where you are renting your wedding dress. You must ensure you crosscheck your dress even after the Bridal rentals have dry cleaned it. It is possible they mistakenly put the wrong dress in your dress bag and you may be too much in a hurry to check.


7. NOTIFY YOUR GROOM OF YOUR WEDDING PLANS


Some men only want to understand when and why they should spend their money or be present at the wedding planning meetings. While for some others they wont mind attending such meetings or be involved in all the planning process. We therefore advise that it is essential to carry the groom alone in the planning or on the modalities of things to avoid misinformation. Understand how many special guest he is expecting and what are his ideas or suggestions towards the event.

8. BE READY TO FORGIVE UNFORESEEN ANOMALIES

There would always be some little mistakes that if not properly handled can make you angry or over react. Handle every challenge with patience. Have at the back of your mind that the wedding day will come to pass, so try not to loose yourself to any circumstance. Be ready to take a deep breath and tell your self it wont last forever.


9. NEVER PLAN ALONE


Marriage is an institution created by God and only God is able to plan any event successfully. You need to involve God in your wedding plans. Put the wedding day and marriage proper into in his hands. Discuss each planning stage with him and seek for his direction. We have seen scenario where something went wrong on the wedding day. The place of prayer in planning a wedding can never be over emphasized. The bible says commit your ways to God and he will direct your part. The best wedding planner is Christ Jesus.

Thank you for reading.

HOW TO TEACH A TODDLER HOW PARENTS EARN MONEY

Image
Children often feel bad when they approach us, as parents for something they want to buy and we tell them there is no money or we can't buy it now. To some of them: " Daddy don't just want to buy it " or " mummy is just being difficult ".  It forms a bad pattern when children get used to the culture of " there is no money", "No you can not have it", "We can not buy it now", "Stop wasting my money", "Monies are not plucked on trees", "do you think I steal money" and much more. Many children make a request because they know and believe it is Daddy and mummy's responsibility to provide everything and whenever this fails to happen, they feel less loved. It might be just best to enlighten them about how people earn money or income and how money circulates. When children are made to understand how salaries are being paid then they would be more considerate rather than being wasteful or un
