Weddings are extremely special. Planning weddings with plenty of time left will ensure that the wedding proceeds smoothly and is hassle free environment for the happiness of the occasion. You should remember the following aspects that are important in every wedding.
1. Consider including other people in the planning process. If the wedding in question is yours, that means thinking about involving your family members and friends. If you’re planning for someone else, get some feedback from other people – a second pair of eyes is always valuable.
2. Come up with a theme to give the wedding a unique flavor, one that runs from the overall aesthetic right down to the tiny details.
3. Try out the foods that are going to be made available at the wedding reception. The caterer’s advertisement and your own expectations may fall short of the actual thing – you don’t want to find out on the big day!
4. In what ways can you ensure that this wedding will not be a run of the mill one? A few variations on the conventions may help. For example, you could ask the bride and groom to choose a playlist of songs that mean something important to them as a couple, or just favorite tracks. Then on the wedding of the wedding you could burn the songs on to a bunch of blank CDs, put the names of the couple and the date on them, and leave them on the table for guests to collect as souvenirs.
5. No matter how well you plan, remember that you are coordinating the activities of several other people, including those responsible for the transportation, the food, the location, etc. It is entirely possible for something to go wrong, something to get delayed and potentially throw off the whole schedule. So have a backup plan always.
6. Plan the budget for the wedding. If there’s one thing you don’t want to get creative with, this is it. Use a percentage breakdown approach. For example: the most expensive segment of any wedding is the reception party. Allocate about 50 of available finances to that. Photo/video and the wardrobes for the bride and groom will take up 10 each of the total. For flowers and music set aside 8 each. The stationary, rings and the ceremony itself will require 3 each of the total available amount. And then there will be further small expenditures, from transportation to any other element you want included at the wedding.
7. A wedding is usually a social event to be enjoyed by many. But it is the most important for the protagonists themselves – so make sure that neither bride nor groom gets caught up and overwhelming by the planning process. For them, the wedding is only a prelude to the main thing – their new life together.
Planning weddings is a substantial responsibility, but a good step by step plan will help you make this event remarkable and memorable for everyone, including the bride and the groom, their family and friends, and the guests.
Solid planning will ensure the smooth progress of your wedding day. Remember to start making arrangements for it, especially if you’re going for a conventional wedding with many guests, at least 8 12 months before the wedding date. Don’t worry, you don’t have to slog through it alone – enlist the help of family and friends, make it another occasion to bond over. Brainstorm with them and get a second opinion from them. You don’t even have to accept everyone else’s advice, you’ll just be sure of being able to make an informed decision for having assessed many alternatives.
