Everyone wants their wedding to be exciting and special – a wedding that everyone will remember for years to come as a truly special day. For that to happen, you need to get organized right from the start. Work out exactly what it is that you want for your wedding day, and make sure you stay organized and keep on top of all the things that need to be done. Here are some tips that will help you make sure you're well and truly ready by the time your special day arrives.

Decide very early on, who is going to be responsible for planning your wedding. Is it going to be you and your partner? Or do you want to bring in a professional wedding planner to take care of all the details. If you plan to do it yourself, consider buying yourself some wedding planning software, a wedding planning guide and any other tools you can find which will help to make the job easier.

Be organized! This is one thing that you really have to do, otherwise you'll miss things and it will all turn into a big mess. If being organized is not your strong point, get help. Set up checklists, so that you know what needs to be done and when. That way you can be sure you have not missed something. Many wedding planning guides include checklists, as well as suggesting timeframes for certain jobs to be done.

Relax! This is often the hardest thing of all. This is your special day, and you're meant to enjoy it. Do not spend the months leading up to your wedding in a completely stressed out state, because that's not what it's meant to be about. If you're not copying, then you have two options. Get some help, or else simplify your plans. There's no need to have an event that's a logistic nightmare to coordinate – tone things down to a level where you're comfortable, and chances are it will end up even better than you expected.

Be realistic – planning a wedding takes time. So allow yourself plenty of time for each task that needs needs to be completed, otherwise you'll find yourself rushing and things will get missed. If you have a mum handy, get her involved! This is particularly important if you're working full time, because if you have a mum or special friend helping you who does not work full time, they can take care of the things that need to be done during business hours. Plus it will take some of the pressure off you, and they will love being involved.

Finally, every now and then take the time to walk away from all the hustle and bustle, so that you can remember what getting married is really all about. It's nice to have a wonderful wedding, but in the end it's just one day. The real celebration is the love you share with your partner, and the desire to spend the rest of your lives together.
