Delegating
Responsibilities
Of your many
tasks, the one that matters most is to enjoy being the bride. To allow
yourself this pleasure, you’ll need to master the gentle art of delegating.
Remember: Though some people, such as members of your wedding party, know
they are expected to help you plan, you still want to use tact and grace
when asking for and accepting help.
A natural place
to start delegating is with your groom. But first, know that tradition
already dictates some tasks for him: purchasing the wedding bands, choosing
his groomsmen and their attire, buying gifts for his attendants, making
appointments for the marriage license and blood tests, organizing
transportation to and from the ceremony and reception, arranging for the
officiates payment, and planning the honeymoon.
Like many grooms,
yours may wish to expand his involvement. After all, the wedding is an
expression of you both. Some things you’ll want to do together, such as
setting a budget, drawing up the guest list, organizing your ceremony,
composing your vows, and registering for gifts. Other tasks you’ll want to
tackle separately before making the final decision together. The groom who
is a gourmet cook, for instance, might select the caterer; the bride who is
a gardener might enjoy finding the florist.
Then there will
be responsibilities that may be attended to by others. Consider each
person’s strengths and interests as you decide how to divide the to-dos. If
your father is a musician, for example, ask him to look for a band. You
might ask your mother or future mother-in-law to handle the publishing of
your engagement or wedding announcement in the newspaper. Your bridesmaids
will likely enjoy—and appreciate—helping you choose the dresses they’ll
wear.
Prior to purchasing, read the payment and shipping FAQ sheet.
