    As long as you have everything organized and seperated. The wedding party and family members can help by holding onto the rings. Set up the reception area:
    Centerpeices
    Guest favours
    Gift table
    Head table decor

    This way you take care of yourself and get ready.

    I don't have a bridal party to keep me sane during the big day, so I'll be leaning on my FH lol. We are both pretty relaxed people so for us, we should be ok.

    I have an amazing bridal party, along with tons of support from my mom, MIL, aunts and other friends who have already said they can help out in any way on the day! I also have a huge wedding planning binder that I have been using religiously to keep everything organized and clean. I plan to keep that binder with me and my bridesmaids all day up until i walk down the aisle. Our venue also has a coordinator that we will be dealing with for setup with vendors, decor and guiding guests as they arrive, which is great. Checklists and reminders on your phone are great as well to keep things organized! Also, I'm definitely going to just go with the flow, and not get stressed out if anything gets screwed up on the day!

    I don't have a wedding planner either, but with a big enough bridal party, things should flow smoothly... I hope.. I was wondering about having one as well.

    Your bridal party is a big factor in keeping both you and your groom calm. Usually everything is set up the night before.

    We got a wedding planner knowing fair well that I'd be stressed out.. it's just the type of person I am because I like everything to go off without a problem.

    Too much stress for one day! Keep it simple and trust that something will go wrong, but that's life. The important thing is that both you and your FH are there and committed to each other. That is all.

    Bridesmaids that you trust. My best friend has been in many bridal parties and will be my maid of honour said that she will take my phone away from me, and manage whatever arises. Also, consider choosing a location for photos that's a ways away from your reception venue, so you have the travel time to decompress. I think the other key is just remembering that it will all work out. People have problems all the time, and they just work through it.

    Our venue has an event coordinator who does a lot of the organizing at the site and the set up for us. I am going to assign specific duties to people I trust to make sure they get done. I dont'plan on giving anyone too many things to do but if you give a number of people one thing to worry about it will be less that only you are trying to keep in line.

    I don't have a wedding planner either! We plan to set everything up the night before to ensure that we don't have to worry about those things the day of. I will be relying on my bridal party to make sure I stay stress free the day of!

    I am the worrier in my relationship and my FH told me that we can plan everything for the day but the day will roll out as it will and we will be too caught up to even notice if a small thing goes wrong or is out of place. We are having our ceremony and reception all in one place so that saves us a few headaches. I am trying to find myself a mantra or something to keep my mind off all the little details on the big day.

    I'm hiring a friend of mine from high school and her husband to do this... She will help decorate day before, show the dj where to set up, make sure nothing is left at the church, keep an eye on hydration station all night, set up midnight buffet, ect... Cheaper than a planner and she is very detail orientated.
