We always tell you to delegate, but we haven't told you what to delegate and to whom.  Today we are going to do just that. We've found a few things that you can delegate to your friends and family. 

Wedding Day Delegating: 

  • Hotel Reservations 
  • Breaking down tables

  • Give someone your phone/camera and ask them to get some snapshots during the reception 
  • Décor
