Are you making progress on your wedding preparations?
To all the brides-to-be, how are your wedding preparations going?
There’s so much to do when it comes to wedding preparations! Some brides might feel overwhelmed, thinking, “I have to do this, and I have to do that...!”
Even though planning your wedding should be fun, are you getting too busy and accidentally snapping at him, saying, “I asked you to do this!” or feeling down because “I thought I would do it today, but I couldn’t”?
For those facing these challenges, here are some bride hacks recommended for smoothly progressing your wedding preparations together with your partner!
[Share with Him] Let’s make a to-do list♩
For brides who are saying, “I’m so busy with wedding preparations! I don’t know where to start!” it’s highly recommended to create a to-do list.*
Writing down your tasks on a big board or calendar makes everything crystal clear◎
If you keep all your thoughts in your head or jot them down in your phone notes, you can’t share them with him. But if you stick the to-do list up in your new home, you can share it with him and easily see your progress whenever you check it, making it super convenient!*
This time, I will introduce some “tips” for creating your to-do list♩
Since I can’t cover all the tips, please try to find a method that works for you and discuss it with him!*
Tips to boost your wedding preparations! Tip 1: Use sticky notes
The top tip for creating a to-do list is to utilize sticky notes◎
While it’s okay to write directly on the calendar or board, wedding preparations often involve sudden increases or changes in tasks.
To be able to respond to unexpected changes, it's recommended to write your to-do list on sticky notes for easy peeling and sticking as needed!*
Tips to boost your wedding preparations! Tip 2: Color code
Color coding your sticky notes for the to-do list is another clear and understandable method◎
There are generally two main ways to color code:*
① By who will do the tasks (bride in pink, groom in blue, and joint tasks in yellow, etc.)
② By category (venue-related in pink, handmade items in blue, honeymoon-related in yellow, etc.)
There are no strict rules for colors or categories, so let’s decide on colors in a way that’s easy for you!♩
Tips to boost your wedding preparations! Tip 3: Stick them on the calendar
When creating a to-do list, it’s recommended to stick them on the calendar!
Just placing the sticky notes on the scheduled days helps with proper schedule management and prevents forgetting tasks◎
Tips to boost your wedding preparations! Tip 4: Stick them in order of tasks
For brides who are busy with work and cannot commit to a specific day for tasks on the calendar... it’s okay to have a rough list!◎
You can divide tasks into categories like “Urgent,” “Early,” “Before the ceremony,” and “Miscellaneous,” allowing you to tackle urgent ones first!*
Tips to boost your wedding preparations! Tip 5: Stick by items
Some brides have stuck to-do lists by categories like “Date,” “Ceremony and reception,” “After-party,” etc.◎
This allows you to see the overall status of preparations for each scene, which is great!
It helps prevent situations like “Wedding preparations are going smoothly, but the after-party is untouched!”
Tips to boost your wedding preparations! Tip 6: Move completed tasks to a completed list
The last tip I’ll introduce is to move tasks from the to-do list to a completed tasks list once they’re achieved◎
While it’s fine to toss the sticky notes once the task is done, moving them to a completed tasks list gives you a sense of accomplishment and prevents you from forgetting what you’ve done!*
Once all the tasks on the to-do list have been moved to the completed list, celebrate with him together!♩
