How lovely we get to celebrate the day of love on a Friday! In the spirit of love and relationships, we wanted to talk about how to maintain balance of both while engaged and planning a wedding.
Maintaining Love & Balance While Engaged
Communication
Seems like a no-brainer, but communication can get tricky while making so many big decisions together. You learn a lot about your partner when planning your wedding. You talk about everything from money, to friends and family, to style choices that may surprise you! Maintain an honest line of communication during this process is key to planning the wedding, but don’t forget about the communication that transcends the wedding topic. Let your partner know when you are feeling overwhelmed about any aspect. Sit down together and talk about the day-to-day while you are working on planning the big picture.
Date Nights
To go off of communication, scheduling regular date nights throughout the engagement is important to keep the romance alive. Having these nights alone together will facilitate the conversations about your day and overall feelings during this time while showing each other the love you are basing your future marriage on. Making time for each other doesn’t have to be expensive either but will strengthen your bond while you count down to the wedding bells.
Take our advice! It doesn’t always take chocolates and flowers to show your significant other how much you care. Embrace the time you have together and plan an evening to talk and share one another’s company without thinking about wedding planning decisions. You don’t have to tap into the wedding budget to talk about your day and share dinner on this special day. Being together while engaged is what is most important!
