Wedding Decisions You shouldn't Worry About

We’re sure you don’t need us to tell you that there are a million decisions to make and details to arrange for your wedding day…because you’re probably well aware of that by now! Surprisingly, you can happily defer decision-making in numerous aspects of your wedding! It's entirely up to you if you prefer to take a back seat on these details.

1. Your Bridesmaids’ Accessories

If your girls are all asking you what kind of jewelry or shoes you want them to wear for the wedding and you don't have a strong opinion - let them decide. Give them some generic guidelines to follow (like the color, type of shoe, type of necklace, etc.) and let them do the hunt on their own. This is such a tiny detail, so you shouldn’t have to spend hours (or days or weeks) trying to find the perfect items. Plus, this allows them to find their own accessories at a price they feel comfortable with!

2. Your Bridesmaids’ Dresses (if mismatched)

If you’re going with the mismatched look for your wedding party, let your girls choose their dresses on their own. It can get extremely time-consuming and overwhelming trying to find not one perfect bridesmaid dress but five (or however many bridesmaids you have). Make it easier on yourself by coordinating the color scheme you’re going for and then letting your bridesmaids choose their own color and have them find their own dress. Just like with their accessories, you can give them guidelines around whatever details are important to you (floor length, material, etc.), but feel free to save yourself the hassle of having to choose each individual one.

3. The Rehearsal Dinner

You probably have your hands full already with wedding planning, so feel free to pass off the responsibility for planning the rehearsal dinner. Traditionally, the groom’s parents are responsible for the rehearsal dinner. That means covering the cost and planning the event. If you feel comfortable with your groom’s side of the family planning the rehearsal dinner, by all means, let them. However, if you don’t want to relinquish all control, you can always make suggestions, but let your groom’s parents do the work of comparing prices, booking a place, arranging the menu, and sending out invitations.
