Thinking of taking over aspects of your wedding? This can be a good or bad decision depending on what kind of person you are. If you're a very organized person with time to spare, who can handle making your own party favors or baking treats for all of your guests, do it to it. But if you're not organized, and you're relying heavily on friends and family to help you, it can be disastrous. The worst wedding nightmares I've seen happen were because the bride decided to do everything herself(with her family and friends, of course), and then the friends and family either forgot to do stuff or they thought someone else was doing everything. Then, a week before the wedding, it dawns on the bride that nothing has been done. If this happens to you, it will be like a stress bomb of craziness that's being detonated on your face over and over again.
Organization is the key to preventing that situation. Rely mostly on yourself to get things done. If people are going to help you, give them schedules. If they don't do something, fire them. Organizing a wedding is not easy. If you're going to be coordinating and baking and doing crafts, you are now the party director. If you realize this, the stress level will actually be lower because stuff will be getting done, which allows you to have more fun.
Here's an article about a bride who decided to do all of her own baking, check it out. Just click here.
