Many people just like you want their wedding day to be absolutely perfect. You may have the goal of getting into shape or ramping up your skincare routine to achieve that flawless, glass-like skin. You’ll also be doing this around your routine and while planning your wedding down to a T. It’s a lot to manage, which is why the habits that you build up early on are going to make all the difference when it comes to how much you enjoy your big day.

These habits, tips, and tricks will make the lead-up to your wedding that much easier, less stressful, and overall far more enjoyable. It takes time to build up a habit, though, so start today!
Be Realistic About Your Planning Capabilities
If you’re juggling a high-stress job and at-home responsibilities, such as caring for children, then you likely won’t have the headspace or time to plan a wedding without feeling stressed. It’s simply not possible, and not needed, as you can offload the planning in one of two ways:
The first option is to hire a planner. Planners take the bulk of the work off your hands, leaving you only to make the decisions you need.
The second option is to choose high-class wedding venues that include everything, from the location to a personal wedding attendant, to the tables you need to rent and catering. Venues like this are easier to book because they’re inclusive, meaning you can have your venue, décor, catering, cake, and waitstaff hired in one package. All that is left after that are additional decorations and entertainment, which takes a significant load off your back.
Top Habits to Build for a Successful Big Day
The exact habits you build up are going to be personal to you. Here’s a short list of ideas to get you started, based on what will help you feel the best by the time you say “I do”:
- Workout routines
- Skincare routines
- Dental care routines
- Mental health check-ins
- Emotional check-ins with your partner
- De-stressor days
- Sleep routines
Outline The Habits You Want to Build By Priority
Chances are you won’t build up every habit you want right from the gate. A better way to stay motivated and build good habits that will help you look your best throughout the day is to start small.
You do this by listing down all the habits you want to build. This could involve a multi-step skincare routine, an hour-long workout every day, and even emotional check-ins with your partner to ensure you two are rock-solid throughout the stressful planning process. Break down each of those habits into its base components, and order them in a list of priority.
Start Small and Build Your Habits Up
You can put down those emotional check-ins first and start by setting aside a no-planning date night that you can add to your calendar. Instead of trying to jump right into an hour-long workout routine every day, break down each area (core, arms, back, legs) and start with 10-minute workouts every day. Then, the following week, bump them up to 15-minute workouts. Use this principle for all your habit goals.
Keep Getting Back Up
You will break your new habits, and that’s okay. You simply need to keep trying, trying, trying again. If you and your partner are both trying to accomplish your own goals before the wedding, you can be each other’s cheerleader or partner up for activities like your workouts or even your skincare routine to stay motivated.
