While both the Ladkiwale and Ladkewale are busy making all the arrangements, what are Ladka and Ladki doing? Let us reveal the truth, you're also going to have your hands full attending to all the responsibilities and wedding planning. You won't even realise when your courtship period will get over amid all this. We'll help you ensure that you don't let your courtship period slip away because it will lay the foundation of your relationship. These will be moments you will recall post-wedding. So, here are some ideas to make the most of it.
1. Plan activities together
If you need to schedule a visit to your wedding vendors, plan together. Go with each other for as many wedding related appointments as possible in order to squeeze in a good amount of time. This will help you kill two birds with one stone. You’ll get to be with each other and be able to make decisions related to the wedding together. You’ll have to consciously work around your schedules to make sure you’re able to make this happen.
2. Find time
Whether it’s during a lunch break or a day when one of us can get off work early, look for every opportunity you get to give yourselves some quiet time together. You can even simply meet for a meal after a long day or even commute together from work. You must make the best of what you have and not allow yourselves to feel too overwhelmed. Not meeting each other enough will only add to the frustration during this stressful period.
3. Accept help
If it feels too daunting to get all the tasks done by yourself and still have enough time left to meet your partner, you can ask your closest friends to chip in. This could be for something as simple as getting a few chores done or finalizing meetings with the wedding photographer while doing enough research on what’s available. Nobody will mind lending a helping hand – it’ll only add to the excitement and give you space to breathe.
4. Take a few days off
It’s a great idea to take leave for a brief period and just go on a short getaway with your significant other. That way, you’ll be away from the madness and stress for a bit and be able to communicate with each other without any distractions. Just being with each other on a short holiday will do you a world of good and make planning your wedding a lot easier and fun! It doesn’t have to be an elaborate holiday at all – just a short getaway to distract yourselves from all that planning and relaxing for some time together away from it all.
5. Planning the honeymoon
One activity that requires the two of you to sit together and plan, it is honeymoon planning. You have to decide on the destination, what time of the year do you visit, the dates, the number of days and so on. Another important question you should ask yourself is whether you want a mini-moon or a honeymoon. You can actually have a mini vacation right after the wedding, depending on how long a leave does your work allow. And then go on a full-fledged real honeymoon sometime later. Well, the task will give an insight into each other's bucket list and wishes which you can later use while on your honeymoon to surprise them. Think about it!
Now that you know how to have enough time with your partner while planning the wedding, put it into action. And while you do, don't completely forget about the wedding prep completely. Keep a wedding checklist handy to get a hold of how much arrangement is covered.
