Everyone wants to help and it's more stressful to have them asking all the time than to actually plan the wedding, haha. I am a very chilled bride but this is the one part that I find stressful. Are there any small tasks I could have them do to keep them busy?

HI Bride
You can kindly tell them leading up to the day within the last month that there will be plenty to do so they can help out then but at the moment everything is under control. But if anything does pop up before them you wil be sure to ask them to help.
Hope this helps

Hi Bride to be...I would suggest writing a list of little jobs, duties or chores you think you might need a hand with, either helping set up the church/ceremony or organising food for the bridal party on the wedding morning to greeting your guests at the ceremony/venue. You could then delegate your mum, a close family member, or even a wedding coordinator to be your point of contact. So when family or friends ask if they can help, you can refer them to your point of contact and they can delegate the tasks for your wedding. This way you can have a stress free lead up and day of your wedding.....congratulations and best wishes.
Delegate a family or friend to be responsible on the day to get the family together for photos.
Get a tech savvy friend or family member to look after social media if you are going to be using facebook or instagram.
If giving away favours get a family member to look for options that are in line with your theme and put together pricing for you or even offer to create them for you.
Get family or friends to help with decorating the venue if you are not hiring a decorator
Delegate to a family or friend member to be the guest greeter or MC.

Hi
If there are particular tasks you don't want to deal with then I suggest you get your family to focus on these. If you trust their view and decision on such items then let them roll with the tasks, but the smaller the tasks the better. You don't need anymore unnecessary stress that you will already have with planning a wedding.
However as a suggestion/s maybe helping following up on rsvp's, thank you cards, contacting for follow up on on venue, flowers, etc. There are so many tasks you can give them, but the final decision is up to you.
Have a fabulous day and don't hesitate to contact heels & flats event solutions should you need any further help.
