Let your boss know well in advance about when you will or will not be available when you will be taking leave when you will leave early and so on. This allows them to pencil in replacements in time so that work continues smoothly.
Don’t – Discuss your wedding endlessly
We get it. Your wedding is the most important day of your life. But that’s just it! It’s really not that important for anyone else at work. Keep your excitement in check and be the consummate professional at work.
Do – Only take colleagues’ help if you really have no other option
Calling in a favor or two is fine. However, try not to place too many of your own responsibilities on your colleagues just because you are busy with wedding planning. That only leads to annoyance and resentment. Not to mention you will have to return all those favors too.
Don’t – Be scatterbrained
Try and organize your schedule, timings, events, interviews with the vendors, meetings with the wedding planner et al in a spreadsheet. This will allow you to handle multiple responsibilities smoothly and avoid last-minute rescheduling and cancellations.
Do – Invite everyone from work or no one
Your colleagues are people you see and work with every day. If you are extending an invitation to one of them, it goes without saying that you will have to invite everyone else too.
Keep the above tips in mind and you are good to go!
