You've said I do. Now what? Your minds in a whir all
the things you need to do to have that perfect wedding. You begin to
panic everytime you think of the planning ahead of you. Your mind is
going a mile a minute with ideas and plans what to do when to do it,
so many questions, so little time. First don’t get ahead of
yourself. Before doing anything you should grab a pen and paper and
follow these simple steps.
First you need to make a list of the things you need to
discuss with your fiancée. Don’t go any further until you’ve done
this. Although you might be inclined to rush out and start planning.
Remember this is his big day too, and he should have a say in the
planning of it. You’ll need to
discuss:
• the maximum amount your going to spend • How many
people your going to invite • How you are going to finance your
wedding • What type of wedding your going to have – big, small,
formal, informal • How many people will be in your wedding
party
You'll need to make some time to meet with both sets of
parents to further discuss the items above. You need to find out how
much, if any the parents will be able to contribute to your costs.
You’ll need ask them to make a list of who they want to invite - get
them to make the list from most important to least important, that
way if you need to cut guests you know which ones to
cut.
Next set your wedding date. Most wedding facilities
advise booking 6 months to a year in advance. You’ll want to take
into consideration the time of year you plan to get married, any
holidays, vacations, or family events that might not work with your
date. Once you’ve determined a date that works for your bridal party
and family members, as well as yourself, you can move ahead. It
never hurts to have a couple of date
options.
Now you can get those creative juices flowing. Your
wedding should fit both your style and your fiancée’s style. Will it
be a trendy wedding, traditional, beach, park?? Get ideas from
bridal magazines, books, and the internet which has a wealth of free
information available. Start a scrap book. Add items and ideas you
like to the scrap book. Then you can use your scrap book for
reference as you start to fine
tune.
The more organized you are the easier it will be to
plan and the less stressful it will be. Keep a day timer of what
you’ve done and what needs to be done on or before specific dates.
Make to do lists and as you complete tasks scratch them off your
list. Be sure to keep your list up current. You might want to buy a
wedding management software package or print style. There are some
great choices available!
Your wedding is the beginning of a whole new adventure
in life. Make the planning an enjoyable part of that planning by
being prepared.
