Today’s tip comes from Rachelle Cain-Wiggins, owner of Cain Event Planning:

Have a Good Cry

“Here are my five tips on how to handle stress in the midst of wedding planning.

1. It’s okay to be sad and cry it out.

2. Seek counsel in wise family members or friends.

3. Focus on just you and your partner for a couple days. No discussion of wedding plans. Just enjoy being together.

4. Treat yourself! Give yourself something you deserve whether it’s a nice bubble bath, your favorite ice cream, a good book or something you have desired online.

5. Know you’re not alone.”

 

 

 

We agree, everyone needs a good cry every once in a while..especially this year! Thanks Rachelle! Check out Cain Event Planning to find out more about their services!
