FUN TIPS

WANT TO RUIN YOUR WEDDING? Just Let Yourself Do Everything.

You’re independent. You’re resourceful. You’ve planned birthdays, office parties, and family reunions. Kaya mo ‘to!

Then the wedding day comes—and everything is falling apart. 😭

🔴 The caterer is asking where to set up.

🔴 The lights aren’t working.

🔴 Your tita wants to change the seating arrangement last minute.

And guess what? Ikaw ang sumasagot sa lahat ng tawag.

"Bakit nga ba ‘di nalang ako kumuha ng planner?"

Kung gusto mong gawing stress fest ang sarili mong kasal, sundin mo lang ito:

💀 Step 1: Micromanage everything.

"Kailangan alam ko lahat ng details!"Sure! Pero instead of enjoying your wedding, ikaw ang pinaka-stressed na tao sa event.

📌 Reality Check: Ayon sa The Knot (2025), 80% ng wedding planning ay ginagawa ng couple mismo, na nagreresulta sa average na anim na oras kada linggo na ginugugol sa pag-aasikaso ng detalye. Ang sobrang paghawak sa lahat ng aspeto ay maaaring magdulot ng labis na stress at pagkaubos ng oras.

💀 Step 2: Assign major tasks to friends and family.

"Si bestie nalang mag-coordinate, she’s super organized!"Pero bestie is also a bridesmaid, fixing her makeup, and trying to enjoy the day.

📌 Reality Check: Ayon kay Bianca Nichole & Co. (2021), ang pagtatalaga ng kaibigan o kapamilya bilang wedding coordinator ay maaaring magresulta sa hindi pagkakaunawaan at stress, dahil maaaring wala silang sapat na karanasan at hindi nila lubos na ma-enjoy ang iyong kasal.

💀 Step 3: Assume things will go smoothly.

"Okay na ‘yan, maiintindihan naman ng suppliers!"

📌 Reality Check: Ayon sa The Knot (2025), ang average na kasal ay mayroong 14 na vendors na kailangang i-coordinate. Kung walang propesyonal na planner o coordinator, maaaring magkaroon ng delays at miscommunication sa pagitan ng mga suppliers.

🔥 THE TRUTH: YOUR WEDDING IS NOT A DIY PROJECT.

Yes, planners and coordinators are an added cost. But peace of mind? Priceless.Your wedding should be a once-in-a-lifetime experience—not a DIY project where you’re the manager, staff, and client all at once.You deserve to be fully present—to soak in every moment, to cry happy tears, to dance without worrying about logistics.
