Focus on being fully present and enjoy every moment of your big day by delegating these wedding day tasks to your family and friends.<\/i><\/p>

B<\/b>etween getting ready, greeting guests, and making it down the aisle, a bride has plenty to do on her wedding day. While it is tempting to try and stay on top of every detail, the truth is, you don’t have to do it all by yourself – even if your over-controlling, OCD self is compelling you to.<\/p>

Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and you should be fully present, worry-free and enjoy every little moment of the day. To be able to do so, you should delegate on-the-day logistics and tasks to your family members and friends who can be trusted to help you ensure your wedding day runs smoothly without your input. From assigning someone to coordinate group photos, to putting together a clean-up crew, these are 10 wedding day tasks you can delegate to your family and friends.<\/p>

<\/ins><\/div>

1. Creating Wedding Day DIY Decorations<\/h3>\"\"Eint and Alvin’s Whimsical Secret Garden Solemnisation at Le Jardin<\/a>by Jeffery Koh Photography<\/a><\/i>

Personalising your wedding with decorations that you’ve made is a great way to include a unique touch to your once-in-a-lifetime celebration, but crafting for an event as grand as your wedding requires a lot of time and hands. Lighten your workload by enlisting the help of your family members, especially the ones who have crafty hands. Turn it into a pre-wedding crafting session where they can bond and enjoy each other’s companionship as they make the items necessary for your wedding.<\/p>

2. Manning the Reception Table<\/h3>

Your family and friends are the perfect groups of people to man your reception table on your wedding day. As the entry point for all your guests, having familiar faces welcoming them to the celebration adds a personal and thoughtful touch to the affair. As your trusted loved ones, they will also handle details such as checking RSVPs and taking care of the ang bao box with care and heart, making sure you don’t have to worry about these as you enjoy every single moment of your big day.<\/p>

3. Ushering Guests to their Seats<\/h3>\"\"Belinda and Sidhesh’s Artfully Botanical Wedding at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay<\/a> by Caline Ng Photography<\/a><\/i>

Your family and friends are also the perfect people to assist your guests in finding their designated seats at your wedding, especially elderly family members who may not be able to make their way to their seats without some help. They are also in a better position to handle last minute seating adjustments without having to check in with you before they make an adjustment, all while making your guests feel welcomed and cared for.<\/p>

4. Watching Over the Flower Girls and Ring Bearers<\/h3>

Weddings can be overwhelming for children and having a familiar adult or trusted friend watch over them can help soothe their nerves, keep them engaged and entertained, and comfortable as they wait for the celebration to start. They can also help with last minute outfit adjustments, guide them on when to walk down the aisle and handle any misbehaviour calmly, especially if they are a family member or friend whom the child is familiar with. This frees you up to immerse yourself fully into the celebration without worrying about the children getting bored or unruly before the ceremony begins.<\/p>

5. Overseeing the day-of coordination and logistics<\/h3>\"\"Chanel and Javin’s Timeless, Picturesque Wedding at The St. Regis Singapore<\/a> by AndroidsinBoots<\/a><\/i>

The behind-the-scenes of a wedding requires plenty of coordination and logistics handling, and as the bride, you should delegate this job to a trusted loved one to manage so you can kick back and enjoy your day without any stress or anxiety holding you back. Family members and friends can help you cross-check the wedding checklist to make sure nothing is overlooked, ensure the wedding schedule is moving on time and according to plan, see to it that the necessary vendors turn up on time and completes their tasks and so on, making sure your wedding day runs smoothly without your intervention.<\/p>

6. Emceeing the Wedding<\/h3>

Entrusting the job of hosting all your family members and friends on one of the most important days of your life to a loved one not only adds a deeply personal and heartfelt touch to your celebration, it is also a wonderful way to involve someone special in your life. <\/p>

While a professional emcee may be better at improvising and managing unforeseen circumstances, having a loved one host your wedding means they are in a better position to share your story and engage and connect on a deeper and more personal level with your guests, creating a naturally relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that makes the celebration enjoyable for everyone in attendance.<\/p>

7. Settling on-the-day payments and distributing tips to the vendors<\/h3>\"\"Gina and Melvin’s Pastel Garden Wedding in Revelry Hall<\/a> by Smittenpixels Co.<\/a><\/i>

To fully enjoy your day as a bride, you should hand over the responsibility of making payments owed to your wedding vendors to a trusted family member or friend. Ideally, this person should be a parent, sibling or close friend who is organised and reliable. Share your payment plans and amounts each vendor is due to receive on the day of the wedding with her, so he or she can distribute the payments on your behalf while you bask in the joy of the day.<\/p>

Together with this person, prepare a checklist of vendors who need to be paid on the day of the wedding and the respective payment envelopes, all clearly labelled with the name of the vendor and the amount to be paid to avoid any confusion. If you would like to gift all or some of your vendors with a small token of appreciation, do prepare them as well and clearly label them with the name of the vendor to ensure that it is handed over to the right person.<\/p>

8. Point of contact (for guests and vendors)<\/h3>

The person assigned as the point of contact for your guests and vendors will be the go-to person of the wedding, answering any last-minute questions, managing logistics and handling unexpected issues. Needless to say, he or she will be kept busy constantly throughout the wedding. <\/p>

By delegating this important job to a trusted family member or friend, you’ll get to enjoy the celebration stress-free and without any interruption. Your guests will also feel more comfortable reaching out to someone familiar while vendors will appreciate having a clear and responsive liaison they can approach.<\/p>

9. Crowd Control for Photo Taking<\/h3>\"\"Rebecca and Kin’s Stunning Colonial-Style Wedding at Ayana Resort Bali<\/a> by Terralogical<\/a><\/i>

Instead of being the person who gathers your guests for photos during the photo taking session, entrust this task to one of your family member or friends, or even your bridesmaids and groomsmen. Since getting everyone ready for a photo takes time and photographers often work on tight timelines, group shots with your guests can quickly become chaotic, which is why you need someone to get guests ready for a photo with you and your groom ahead of their turn to keep your wedding day flowing smoothly.<\/p>

10. Clean up coordination<\/h3>

It is essential that you delegate the task of cleaning up items that belong to you or need to be removed from the venue to family members and friends, so that you can spend time thanking and sending your guests off at the end of the night. You can entrust this job to a few people so the clean-up can be done efficiently and swiftly.<\/p>
