Top Tips
• Make sure you and your partner have a clear
idea of what you want and that you iron out any
differences fairly, before involving other people.
• Start planning early so that you have plenty of
time.
• Write it down – prices, websites and ideas. They
start off easy to remember, but then the list gets
longer!
• Agree on how much you plan to spend and how it
will be paid for.
• Make a list of things that could go wrong on the
day and how you will fix or avoid them.
Even with our top tips, we understand that planning
a wedding is one of the most stressful times of your
life. We also know that stress can be a trigger that
creates a violent or abusive environment.
If you or your partner are seeing abuse or violence
coming into your relationship, whether physical,
sexual, psychological, emotional or financial,
remember that you can always call us on our

Gifts
Sometimes wedding gifts are perfect for helping you
set up your new life together, but if you already have
everything you need, then why not spread the joy of
your union by helping those having difficulty in their
relationship, by asking your guests to make a
donation to Broken Rainbow UK instead of buying
gifts you don’t need?

Whenever conversation turns to weddings we are
very used to hearing how it’s your special day, and
that it will be the happiest day of your life. But once
the guest list grows and family and friends start to
add their input, it can begin to feel like it’s
everyone’s special day but yours!
Combine this with the growing budget and any
difference of opinion between you and your
partner, such as the guest list, and it is easy to see
how planning your wedding can become as
stressful as moving house or starting a new job.
But fear not, use our five top
tips to take the stress out of
planning your Big day!
