• How many people will be in your wedding party
Once you’ve got some of the basics covered you’ll want to meet with both sets of parents to further discuss the items above. You need to find out how much, if any, finances parents will be contributing. You’ll need to know who is important to them to place on the invite list, and you’ll need to fill them in on the type of wedding your planning.
Third, you’ll need to set your wedding date. These days it’s advisable to book facilities such as churches and reception halls 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.
Get yourself organized. The more organized you are the easier it will be to plan, and you’ll be under a lot less stress. Keep a day timer of what you’ve done and what needs to be done on or before specific days. Use to do lists – scratch completed tasks and add new tasks. It’s important to keep your list up to date. There’s also some very good wedding management software packages available on the market.
Your wedding is one of the most important events in your life. Be prepared and enjoy planning for this very special day!
