Wedding! How to plan your Big Day.
Plan it in advance and:
■Establish your wedding budget. Be realistic. You will spend at list 25% more than you planed.
■Chose your wedding day date. Carefully consult with your fiancé and both families the best time for your wedding day. Be aware about special dates, like Valentine’s Day, 11/11/2011 etc. Having wedding in those dates will cost you more and needs long-term planning (some places and wedding professionals are booked for those days in years in advance)
■Go to popular book store and find books, wedding magazines, and wedding planning guides. They will help you to plan wedding theme, and will guide you through entire wedding planning process or if you prefer find good wedding coordinator.
■Prepare wedding guests list. Remember – longer list – more money your wedding will cost you.
■Choose a wedding venue. The right place will help to accommodate your wedding guests and create a unique atmosphere for your special day.
■Choose a caterer and decide type of food you would like during the wedding. Next decide how do you want your wedding dinner (lunch) be served (buffet, regular sitting dinner, hand food, buffet stations). How do you like the alcohol beverages like wine, beer, cocktail, drinks be served (open bar, complimentary bar etc.)
■ Find wedding photographer. From many wedding professionals photographer is the most important vendor. He/she will create first memories of your new family. After the wedding day, for the rest of your life you will have your wedding photographs and wedding album.
■Find wedding videographer. Good video will help to keep your wedding day fresh in your memory for many years.
■Choose invitations style and find place you can order them or to save some money you can explore stores like Michael’s, Jo-Ann, Office Depot, Office Max to find wedding invitations ideas and ready to use sets of invitations.
■Start looking for wedding dress! This is probably the most exciting part of wedding preparations! Go with your friends, Mom, sister, have fun! Try a lot off gowns. Take some pictures to remember dress you tried and take time to decide which dress suit you best.
■Choose your bridesmaid dresses.
■Help your fiancé to find and choose wedding suit/tuxedo. You can decide about renting it or buying. If you decide to buy suit or tuxedo choose rather classic style. He can use it after the wedding. If you prefer something more unique (like white tuxedo or classic wedding suit) it will be cheaper to rent it. He will never use it again.
■Help with tuxedo purchase / rental for your Dad and the groom party. They will need your help (trust me!)
■With your perfect wedding dress and wedding theme and color find a florist and choose perfect wedding bucket and flower decorations for wedding.
■Find wedding rental service and make arrangement about renting wedding linens.
■Find wedding cake vendors and order wedding cake. Schedule cake tasting session. Describe your dream cake. Bring some magazine photos to better explain your cake idea.
■Find DJ or band for your wedding party (if you plan to have one). Good DJ will not only play the music you like, but will organize all your party flow.
■Remember about involve your fiancé in wedding planning and organization. You will be happy to share this experience with him. You can do all planning and preparations together. You will be more relaxed with extra help and emotional support. And it is His day too!
Remember this is your time! Have some fun. Use this special occasion to be close with your fiance, families and friends. They love you and they will be happy to help – just ask. Don’t stress out and have a wonderful wedding!
