Getting engaged is such a happy time. It is the beginning of one of the most stressful but exciting times of your life. You will have lots of people volunteering to help and rendering all types of services. Aunt Mary and your mom, and perhaps your soon to be mother-in-law will have some very good ideas for YOUR wedding.
Whether the length of your engagement is six months or one year, take the advice that is given to you and digest it. Learn what information to keep and what nonsense to ignore. A coordinator can help with that. Most times, your wedding coordinator is not a relative and can be used as a good resource to bounce ideas off of and vent to.
It is okay for your mom to help you with all of your plans, just remember, your mom can't get you down the aisle. She would have already walked down ahead of you. A coordinator can help with that. When selecting a wedding coordinator, find someone that can control the various personalities that will be start swirling closer to the big day. Also, this person should be very resourceful and have a number of vendors readily accessible should you have to go to plan "B".
You don't have to break the bank when hiring a wedding coordinator. It is a cost that you should include in your budget. Just know, the important part of the bride/coordinator relationship is communication.
