11 Things to Remember in Planning a Wedding
Every woman dreams of her own wedding. May it be a small gathering in a picturesque orchard, a grand ball
in a gigantic castle or a funky wedding along the coastline, she wants it planned and tailored to her wishes.
Planning your wedding would take time, effort and energy but it's worth it. For brides out there, here are some
things you can't forget to look into.
1. Payments Of course, planning your wedding will need sufficient amount
of cash. Establish who pays for what. This is usually worked out between the couple and their families.
2. Marriage License Requirements There are different requirements for
each state, so be sure to look into yours. Remember that you can't even start planning your wedding without a
license so make it high priority.
3. Booking the ceremony and
the reception Choose a place to hold your wedding. It'd be great if both parties talk about it.
Also, planning your wedding means planning the reception well so that there won't be wrinkles in your
wonderful day.
4. Reception Ideas Planning your wedding by yourself might become
tiring, so set up a brainstorming session with your friends and relatives to work out the details. List the
ideas in a piece of paper and deliberate on them carefully. Properly laid out plans are wonderful to work
with.
5. Invitations The invitation should be simple yet elegant. An overly
decorated invitation just turns people off. Remember to include all the people involved in the wedding itself
and address them properly. Be sure to indicate if you're inviting the children of the family too because most
parents don't take them to weddings if their presence is not specifically requested.
6. Catering Oohh... the success of every party more often than not
relies on its food. Make sure that what you serve is of good quality and that they taste good. Go over the menu
with the head chef and ask him for suggestions. Not only that this will give you great ideas, it will form a
bond between you and the chef. Keep in mind that when planning your wedding, it pays to be in good terms with
most of the staff.
7. Photos and Videos Talk to the personnel and clarify what you want
done. Sometimes, they just do things their own way and the couple ends up with really crappy results.
Professionals are your best bet and they understand the need of planning your wedding to perfection.
8. Attendants
List all the people you want to have as your attendants and notify them as soon as possible. Just because
you're marrying doesn't mean that the world will stop spinning and watch you in all your splendor. Take
into consideration that people may have to rearrange their schedules to make it to your big day. Yes,
planning your wedding take tremendous effort not only on you but on your attendants too.
9. Showers No wedding is complete without showers. Since the bride is
busy planning her wedding, this duty might fall into the hands of the mothers or the maid of honor.
10. Wedding speeches In the midst of planning your wedding, take time to
stop and list all you want to say on the day of your wedding. An impromptu speech is sincere, yes, but you
might feel put out that you neglected to put emphasis on some people that really helped you a lot.
11. Maps If your venue is in an area that is not so widely known, a map
will be very useful. It will lessen the guests' aggravation on not finding the place and asking for
directions.
12. Nitty Gritty Details These are often overlooked in the
chaos that is called "Planning your wedding". These are the little things that you might forget like having
your gown cleaned and pressed ( if it's an heirloom), wobbling in your high heeled wedding shoes, delivery of
gifts, your honeymoon itinerary, gifts and thank you cards. Try listing all of them and have someone look into
them for you.
