On March 1, newly engaged couples are encouraged to take advantage of National Wedding Planning Day to move closer to the big day. In 2017, this holiday was created by the bridal company The Knot. It ends proposal season and eases newly engaged couples into wedding planning season. It can take days, weeks, or — most commonly — years to save for and plan a wedding, so it’s time to start making decisions and getting excited for the big day. Remember that your wedding is all about you, and don’t let stress get in the way of your love for your future spouse.
The background of National Wedding Planning Day
Weddings are one of the most joyous celebrations in human history, and cultural traditions vary. Nevertheless, it is one of the most stressful events to organise. Usually, the planning takes a toll on the bride and groom, bringing them down from the euphoria of the proposal, especially if there is no one to assist with the process.
National Wedding Planning Day was created to inspire and motivate engaged couples to begin the wedding planning process. It is celebrated annually on March 1 and was created by The Knot, a wedding planning company. The Knot created the day to follow what they refer to as “engagement season.”
According to their studies, between November and February, nearly 40 percent of all proposals occur. National Wedding Planning Day serves as motivation for newly engaged couples to begin wedding preparations. The Knot simplifies the entire wedding planning process, and this was their motivation for creating the occasion.
The Knot connects with users on this day each year to offer advice and answer wedding-related FAQs in real time. In the past, this day has featured fun events such as live Facebook sessions with The Knot and giveaways, as well as additional perks for those who sign up for The Knot membership. This is the ideal opportunity to obtain answers to all of your wedding planning questions and gain inspiration. The Knot endeavours to make each event larger and more impressive than the previous year’s.
On National Wedding Planning Day, you have much to gain and learn, whether you’re already halfway through your checklist or just getting started.
