Delegating Tasks for a Smooth Wedding Day

Planning a wedding is very time consuming and it can be stressful at times! You don't have to plan every single detail all by yourself, it is perfectly fine to ask for help! Delegating tasks for a smooth wedding day is crucial so you can enjoy your wedding day in its full capacity.

As a wedding venue, we've watched several weddings unfold, and the most relaxed, present couples are the ones who let people help them on their day! Here’s how you can delegate tasks to have a smooth wedding day!

1. Accept That You Can't Do It All On Your Own

First and foremost, you need to change your mindset that you do not have to do it all. Your wedding day is the biggest day of your life and it is all about celebrating your love not managing vendors and ensuring your florals are in the exact spaces you want them. You can have people in place to assist with these things so you don't have to think twice about them. After all it is important that you soak every moment of your wedding day in.

2. Hire a Wedding Coordinator

Hiring a professional to coordinate your wedding day is always a great idea. They already know all the ropes and can really take charge on your wedding day so you don't have to worry about a thing. They can take care of your timeline, cutting your cake, communicating with vendors and so much more.

3. Who Do You Trust the Most

Take a look around at the people who are going to be there on your wedding day, who of those people are reliable and organzied and totally willing to help. Once you gather that list you can find specific tasks for them to do on your wedding day.

4. Be Specific With What You Want Others To Do

Ensure you are specific with what you want done and help with. Don't just tell your best friend that you want help setting the tables, tell her you want the plates, silverware and napkins at each place setting and in this specific order so the task does not follow with questions or end up needing redone.

5. What Can You Delegate

There are lots of things you can delegate for your wedding day like coordination and oversight. You can delegate vendor management, emergency kit manager, seating chart, transportation oversight and timeline oversight.

6. Communicate, Communicate, Communicate!

Plan ahead with your delegations - do not wait until the morning of to assign tasks!

7. Let Go and Let Them

Now it is time to let go and let them handle the rest! You chose these people and you trust them - now go enjoy your wedding day to the fullest!
