\"Countdown\"

Life in the twenty first century is extremely hectic.\u00a0 By 2050, 80 per cent of us will be living in cities, and that means the over-crowded, noisy and busy lives will be the norm for the majority of us.\u00a0 Our lives are already<\/i> busy enough as it is!\u00a0 Turning to weddings, planning one in the current UK culture of chaos is tiring, stressful and confusing.\u00a0 It\u2019s probably enough to make you throw up your hands and give in.\u00a0 That\u2019s why a lot of people are lowering the scale of their special day to something a little lower-key<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, whatever your type of wedding, you\u2019ll need to make sure you maximise the time that you have to ensure you get the most out of it. \u00a0There are a hundred and one things to do when you\u2019re organising a wedding, so how can you make sure you get the most stuff done in the little time you have available to you.<\/p>\n

Experience it for yourself<\/b><\/p>\n

Go to weddings!\u00a0 You might think you\u2019re too busy to go to other people\u2019s weddings, but the more experience you get seeing how they\u2019re organised and put together the better you\u2019ll be at organising your own.\u00a0 If you\u2019re currently getting married, it\u2019ll be likely that some of your friends or co-workers will be tying the knot too, so you should have plenty of opportunities to see how it works before you get to your big day.\u00a0 Just don\u2019t let your own wedding be the first wedding you\u2019ve ever been to.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ask, ask, ask<\/b><\/p>\n

Seeing weddings first hand is lovely way of discovering how weddings are planned, but you\u2019re not going to have much of a chance to ask questions on the day.\u00a0 If you\u2019re looking for fast tips, you should instead turn to people you know who are already married and quiz them. Perhaps you could take them out to lunch and ask them there, that way it won\u2019t feel like a chore and you\u2019ll find out what you need to know without much waiting around.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Write it down<\/b><\/p>\n

Create a schedule and stick to it.\u00a0 If you write things down you will find it more difficult to not do it because you\u2019ve already acknowledged its existence.\u00a0 A good suggestion is to write a list of all of the things you need to do, and then you can just tick them off.\u00a0 If you want to digitalise this method, you could use a planning site<\/a>, as that will really maximise your efficiency.<\/p>\n
