How To Plan Your Wedding

Once you have decided on whom to marry, everything else will fall into place, with a little help from you.

• The first step that you need to take towards planning your wedding is to sit with your fiancé and decide on the kind of wedding you want. Discuss all the wants and desires with your fiancé so that there is nothing that becomes a problem at the last minute.
• The next step you should take is to get a checklist in place and assign some of the work to your friends and family. If you try to do everything on your own you are likely to get overwhelmed and something could get overlooked.
• Once you have decided on these details, it would be smart to set a date that gives you ample time to get all the arrangements in place.
• It would also be helpful if you set the date in a way that it manages to give you access to your wedding hall, reception area and your wedding photographer.
• Once the details of how you are getting married are decided upon, it’s time to get the guest list in order. Make sure that your guest list can be accommodated by the venue of the wedding and the reception.
• These day’s people send out separate invitations for the wedding and the receptions so that they can effectively decide on the guests who attend the functions. If you wish to reduce the number of guests at the reception then it would be wise to send out two separate invitations.
• It would also be wise to send out the invitations well in advance so that everyone who has to travel to attend the wedding can make the necessary arrangements.
• Make sure that the smaller details like the dresses for the bride, bridegroom, bride’s maids and the groomsmen are decided on well in advance.
• Make sure that you have decided on a budget for the wedding and ensure that you stick to it at all times.
• Another smart thing would be to book everything in advance. There are times when your favorite venue may not be available for the reception or the photographer won’t be available if you chose to solicit his services just a few days before your wedding.
