How To Minimize Your Stress When Planning Bay Area LGBTQ Weddings

By Scott Hamilton


Planning a wedding can be a lot of fun but the process can also involve a lot of stress and worry. Bay Area LGBTQ weddings are no exception to this rule, and many couples wonder how to get the celebration of their dreams without completely blowing their budget. If you are planning your own celebration here are some tips and tricks you may be able to use.

While some couples jump right into planning without setting a budget this can be a bad move unless you have a lot of money available for you to spend. Deciding how much you can afford to spend can help you avoid a lot of stress and worry as time goes on. While some couples may be tempted to take out a loan in order to afford their dream wedding you need to consider whether or not this could cause problems for you at a later date.

Different couples will likely imagine their celebrations in very different ways. Do you know whether you want to have a more formal event or one that is a lot more organic and lower key. One thing to think about is how to incorporate aspects of your relationship and the things that are significant to you and your partner into your ceremony or your reception. This could include hobbies that you and your partner have or details about certain places that you have visited.

One of the most important things to do is to set the date of your celebration. You may want to consider getting married on a day other than a Saturday. This may give you more options when it comes to picking your ceremony and reception venues and it may be a way for you to get the most out of your budget.

If you want your celebration to last longer than one day you'll be happy to learn that it is becoming increasingly common for people to plan multi-day celebrations. You may want to consider doing the same thing especially if you want to help your out of town guests enjoy the Bay area. You may want to choose outings and activities that tie in with the theme of your wedding as a way of tying the entire experience together.

Of course, you don't need a huge celebration if that isn't what you and your partner had hoped for. An increasing number of couples are also choosing to tie the knot either by eloping or by having a small, intimate ceremony in a location that is meaningful to them. If that is the case with you and your partner, it may be much easier to find a venue that is perfect for your needs.

Working with a wedding planner can be a great idea regardless of whether you want a large celebration or a smaller event. It may not be a bad idea to work with someone whose business has an LGBTQ positive designation. If you have friends who recently tied the knot and they used a planner, it may be a good idea to find out who they used.

Of course, if you don't give yourself enough time to plan, it will definitely feel more stressful. If you give yourself more time to plan things and are organized you can space out your tasks and this will make the planning process much more relaxed and laid back.
