Wedding Plang Tips
Wedding Planning
It can be hard work planning a meaningful wedding. Both parties will need to add creative input as well as some of the key family members. Planning a beautiful wedding can become very stressful no matter if it is an intimate gathering or designed to accommodate hundreds of guests. It is very important to get organized in a timely enough fashion to be able to pull it all off with ease. Here are a few important features that must be considered when planning such a momentous occasion as your wedding.
Determine a Budget
It may seem sort of out of order to determine the budget before choosing wedding colors, but it is very important to set the budget before getting started with other planning activities. Once the budget is set in place, all the other wedding features can be set so that they fit inside the predetermined budget. Having a well designed budget can actually help make some decisions. It can also help prevent unnecessary overspending.
Determine a Planning Timeline
Setting a planning timetable can be the most important part of wedding planning. It does not matter if the wedding is an entire year away or if it is in just a few months, setting a timeline can help keep everything working toward the goal. Determine the dates that each wedding item has to be completed. For instance, it’s important to reserve the facility, order and purchase a cake or flowers and selecting colors and purchasing the various decorative or banqueting items. Don’t forget to include everything on the timeline such as when the announcement in local papers should be made, invitations should be ordered and the date by which they should be mailed. This can help keep everything happening on time so that it all comes together on the final day.
Choosing the Size and Colors of the Wedding
Choosing the colors of the wedding is one of the simplest parts about wedding planning as many of the other items will depend largely on this decision. But deciding on the size of the wedding is a much more difficult decision and the couple will need to discuss it extensively. Some couples may choose to have a small, intimate wedding shared with just a few close friends and family members while others choose to invite hundreds of friends and relatives to witness the monumental event. The size of the wedding will affect almost all of the other decisions such as the venue as well as the budget. It’s important early on to determine how large or small of a wedding you want to have.
Select a Venue
The venue should be selected early on since many of the decorations’ styles can depend on the type of facility. There are many questions that need to be asked such as marriage fees, the space for the wedding, where catering for the reception and the rehearsal dinner can be held and what kinds of decorations will be appropriate and allowed in the facility. Make sure if the price will cover everything or if there are extra fees. It is important to remember that even churches and synagogues may charge a fee for the use of the facility.
Determine a Date
There are many factors that may need to be considered when choosing the date of the wedding. It is important to consider how many are likely to be attending the event as well as the dates the venue will be available. It is also a good idea to send out “save the date” info cards to the guests you intend to invite. This allows them to set the date aside in adequate time to attend. Usually, reserving the venue and setting the date will occur at about the same time.
