An appointment here, a tasting there, make decision after decision, pay balance after balance. Pretty much your life right now? Well there needs to be a little fun and relaxation in there for you! Here are some simple suggestions to give you the peace of mind you’re looking for when it just isn’t going as it should. If you just had a rough day and need some fresh ideas for relaxing, you have stumbled in the right place.

Budget stress savers

Ubid.com & ePier.com are auction sites that are compared to ebay. The advantage of these two sites is that most consumers are already familiar and loyal to ebay, which leaves you a greater chance of winning a cheaper bid on Ubid and ePier. Also before you make an online purchase google “coupon codes” or the retailer and free shipping together. Retailmenot.com should appear in the results and is a reference for coupons and deals submitted by consumers for consumers. You can find really great savings. Also a rule of thumb about online shopping, don’t buy it if you don’t get free shipping. Google the item number and free shipping and you might find another online retailer that offers free shipping.

Decision de-stressers

The details of a wedding can start get to you while planning. The things you didn’t even think you had to have can cause headaches to arise. To avoid getting overwhelmed, make a list of all the elements of your wedding (i.e: dress, flowers, invitations, pictures, etc.) and rank them from the highest to lowest level of importance to you. Allow yourself to stress about the top two and that is it. Make it known to your fiancée and helpers with the wedding planning that those are the only two stressers allowed.

Yoga/walking

Yoga and walking are beneficial during the planning stage because it gives you a chance to work on your fitness for getting into the dress and are both great ways to de-stress. After a yoga session, the feeling can be comparable to a full body massage as well as make you feel strong and empowered and ready to make any wedding decisions thrown your way. During the session the only thing you have to concentrate on is yourself to get a peace of mind and wellness. Going for walk isn’t just a great way to clear your mind, but research shows that a walking helps centering on the brain where stress is stored. Make it a time to rationalize thoughts, release bridesmaid drama, and forget planning mishaps.

End the day with a laugh

Make sure to keep a dvd close to you of the thing that makes you laugh the most. Rent your favorite tv show season, or your favorite comfort movies you liked as a child. Curl up with a glass or wine or hot cup of tea and take a little me time. Laughing is guaranteed to put you in a better mood

Center on your passion

Hobbies and passions are something you enjoy and can ease your mind and become great de-stressers.
If you are a scrap booker or journal writer keep one of the wedding planning and it can make a great heirloom for your kids and/or grandkids as well as creates a piece of history. Or if cooking is your thing, experiment with some new recipes that you can make for your new hubby to be.

Do whatever makes you happy. Write if you have to write, clean if you have to clean, cook, run etc. Just make sure to keep you happy and healthy. Succeeding in those two things will make you even more beautiful on your wedding day!

Until next time….Happy wedding planning!
