When you're dealing with guest list drama, having trouble sticking to your budget, or trying to diffuse bridesmaid blowups, it can be hard to keep the big picture in mind.

But planning a wedding isn't always a major pain in the neck — some parts are just downright fun. Here, our five favorite parts of the planning process.
Telling everyone you're engaged
Sure, some people ask annoying questions. But there's nothing quite like hearing the excited shrieks, seeing the happy tears, popping champagne with your loved ones, and getting 100+ "likes" on your Facebook status update.

Budget-Friendly Wines for the Wedding
Searching for a little “something blue” to add to your festivities? Consider the new La Marca Prosecco mini-bottle, affordably priced at about $5. With its chic blue label and silver accents, it’s not only a perfect fit for bridal showers, bachelorette parties and rehearsal dinners but also as a fun wedding guest favor. You can also dress up your tables with the larger, traditional-size bottles (visit the Store Locator at lamarcaprosecco.com for product availability).
Another popular sparkling wine, Mumm Napa Cuvée M ($22), has an elegant blue and gold label. With its touch of sweetness, it pairs perfectly with the wedding cake, cupcakes or any other desserts at your reception.
If you’d rather match your bottles to a pinkish-rose décor, you’ll love the rich coral color of the Mumm Napa Brut Rosé. Its red fruit favors make it the ideal choice to serve with foods ranging from grilled salmon to country ham to spicy Italian and Asian dishes.
