If you can believe it, WeddingDates was founded on the idea of girls getting engaged who could think about nothing else but weddings during office hours. And, planning a wedding can be a little like having a full time job, but the chances are you probably already have a full time job. And even if you have hired a great wedding planner, the chances are that you still need to figure out a few things on your own. Here are a few tips on how to plan your wedding and work!
Your Commute
Are you taking a tube/train/bus to work? Here is a good opportunity to check out and send enquires online, leave emails or speak to someone in person. Driving? Why not use this time to figure out what your first dance will be or listen to a wedding podcast?
Your Lunch Hour
The best time to have a working lunch and follow up on your wedding venders or planner. Plan out what you will be saying in your head before you make the call. Lunch hour is another good time to devote to Pinterest and inspiration. Mindlessly looking through photos may end up being the best way to relax at work too.
Making Dinner
Probably the best time to catch up with your fiancé on wedding plan progress. Give them the full report of the day and ask him any questions you need to know about.
Evening time
Time to do those mindless tasks that don’t require much effort/thought. Sealing the envelopes of 200 invites, putting together favours or other DIY projects is perfect fodder for this time. If you’re planning on doing a lot of DIY for your day, remember that you may need some Netflix marathon sessions and a bottle of wine!
And whatever you do…
Don’t get caught looking up weddings at your desk. Remember to look up your company’s policy on personal computer use. Remember that your activity online may also be monitored too!
Invite co workers who’ve been a huge help to you in the office. Whether that has been recommending a vendor or maybe even covering for you when you left that Pinterest tab open (totally innocent work related material by the way!), it’s always nice to show appreciation!
