Planning Tips :: 7 Signs You Might Need A Wedding Planner

Engagement season is in full swing, and there are a lot of newly engaged brides-to-be who are beginning that wonderful journey of planning a wedding. Some of you will soon find out - - it's a big task and it's just not for everyone! It's one of the largest events you'll organize and host in your life, there are a ton of details that can't be overlooked and take a lot of time to manage, and things cost more than you had imagined so a lot of research is involved. Things can stack up and stress you out quicker than you realize!

If you feel that stress monster coming on, look for a planner! Hire a professional that you mesh well with, one who gets your vision, and one who can carry out the details to ensure you won't worry or stress about your big day! Here are a few clues that you may need to look into hiring a planner:

1. You and your fiancé work full time jobs and you don't have the time or the resources to devote to planning the wedding.

2. Obviously you know what you like in general, but it takes time to research, read blogs, find inspiration, email vendors with questions, look for samples, and find what you want. Doing this for twelve different vendors may take time that you don't have.

3. You're planning a destination wedding or a wedding away from your home and family and need the assistance.

4. You're relying on other vendors to handle planning details and recommendations. They are not a planner and this is not in their list of duties!

5. You've found the perfect place and you've picked your date, but your planning has come to a halt after that.

6. You realize you need to set a budget but have no idea how to go about establishing it, sticking to it, or what you should be paying for things.

7. You need to devote as much time as possible to your fiancé and enjoy the engagement process. If you feel yourself stressing out and not enjoying the process, it's time for a planner!
