The wedding planning journey is one filled with excitement. From cake flavors to reception playlists, every decision made becomes an extension of your relationship and the time seems to fly.

But there is often a misconception that wedding planning can also invite stress into your relationship. Although your schedules may be busier and some decisions will have to be happy compromises, Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts have put together wedding tips and virtual tools to keep couples on track and help love flourish during the wedding planning process.

Communication is key

Before the wedding planning even begins, focus on building a strong foundation for communication. Talk to each other about any non-negotiables, budgets, and your overall wedding vision. When it comes to the big picture, such conversations can help eliminate discrepancies down the road.

Divvying up some of the smaller tasks is also a great pre-planning conversation to have. For example, if you’re hosting a destination wedding, you might split up who finalizes the payments or who follows up with the guests to ensure their travel plans are squared away. Either way, little tasks like these can really add up. By dividing and conquering, you can eliminate planning stress and make more room in your schedule for romance.

Prioritize time with each other outside of the wedding planning

From florist appointments to dress and suit fittings, the entire calendar leading up to your big day can seem booked. While it is easy to get caught up in the excitement, taking a step back to reconnect with one another is so important.

Sure, you might be spending every second of the wedding planning journey together. But setting aside time that doesn’t revolve around wedding talk can strengthen your relationship. Whether date night on the couch or a quick weekend getaway is more your thing, any quality time is time well spent. All you have to do is pencil it in and stick to it!
