Make a To Do list
At the beginning and throughout, it can be helpful to put together a ‘To Do’ list. The list will contain the most important things that need doing before the wedding. It might not seem like much, but it can help you stay calm and keep on top of everything.Budgeting
Any wedding comes with a lot of expenses! But you do need to consider what are the most important costs and budget for your wedding accordingly. It is a must to make a proper budget of the necessary items to avoid spending far more money than you could ever afford. You might also consider consulting with an expert to help you prepare the budget.
To Buy List
Shopping for a wedding can be the most exciting and the most difficult aspect of wedding preparation. Ask any bride, shopping for the dress in particular makes you both anxious and incredibly excited at the same time!
Prepare separate lists of items to be bought according to priority and your budget. You need to think about wedding attire for the groom, bride, bridesmaids and groomsmen, bridal jewellery, any decorations, the cake just to name a few.
Invitation List
A wedding is an event of joy and happiness. It is a special day for the couples and their near and dear ones. People in the lives of the bride and groom are invited to the wedding, but determining who is invited can also take a lot of thought and can be quite stressful.You need to allocate time to deciding who you want, even if it means you might end up offending some people.
Venue and Photographer
The wedding venue is another key factor. Try to find a suitable venue considering the season and the climate. Obviously, you need to make sure the venue can accommodate the invited guests comfortably. Your wedding photos will be viewed for years to come, and a professional photographer can catch the moments perfectly. A good photographer knows how to take wonderful photos without being noticed, so be sure you find someone that comes highly recommended.
Entertainment and Food
The appropriate food items can vary depending on the weather and the guest list. There are some common items like cake and beverages and ensure those suit your guests. There are a variety of cakes and drinks. Contract a baker or caterer to supply the food items in time. Playing a soft music or having a band/DJ during the event is an excellent idea. It will help create the proper environment and put everyone in a great mood.
Plan for Honeymoon
After planing a wedding, organising the honeymoon will feel like a breeze! It's important for a newly wed couple to get away for some quality time together. Many couples prefer isolated, relaxing destinations while others prefer happening places where they can really get out and have a good time. Whatever your preference, make sure your trip is well planned!
