Weddings and the preparations involved bring lots of tension and panic. Therefore we have certain tips that will help you with wedding panic on and before your wedding day.

• Tell everyone providing you services, exactly what your requirements are. Put everything in writing and make sure your vendors understand exactly want you want and what you don’t want.
• Two or three days before the wedding, call all your vendors and verify your bookings. Have them read back to you the time, date, and location of the wedding as they have it noted as well as the services or items they’ll be providing. Keep everyone’s contact numbers with you so that they can be contacted if they don’t show up. 

• Avoid asking friends or family to provide food, flowers, or official photography. It will create an awkward situation if you’re not pleased with the results. It’s easier to expect perfection from someone being paid rather than a favourite uncle whose feelings may be hurt if you complain about his photography. 

• Have someone assigned to take care of the last minute details and ensure the bridal party is dressed and ready to go. She can answer the phone, go on errands, and make sure everyone has something to eat before the wedding. 

• Practice driving the route to the venue at the time of the day and day of week to check out traffic patterns. That way you’ll know how much time you’ll need to get to the venue and avoid unnecessary delay and wedding panic. 

• Bring along an emergency bag. Include a needle and thread, safety pins, nail polish, hairpins, and other small things. Also tuck in a couple of cookies and some hard candy in case someone needs a quick pickup. 

• Try not to stay up late the night before the wedding. Avoid drinking too much alcohol or caffeine so you’ll be at your best all day. 

• If something goes wrong, don’t panic. Just be cool. Don’t let little things ruin your day. Accept the idea that your wedding may not (and in fact, probably will not) go as planned. Always keep your sense of humour!
• For more serious wedding panic issues you need to pick up your own copy of our  book:
• Anxiety Ended- Regain Your Freedom And Overcome Your Fears
• There may be other underlying factors that are causing you to suffer from panic and many people have discovered that it was not the wedding that was the cause of their panic at all. The wedding was the trigger that was bringing back a memory you had from the past and even though that event, or feeling is from the past, your mind does not know this. You will learn about refocusing your thoughts and much more with The Regain Your Freedom Technique.
