What To Do Before You Start Planning Your Wedding
It may or may not be your first time getting married. However, there a few things you need to do before you start planning your wedding. Â This will make it a lot easier and less stressful.
1. Figure Who Is Paying For The Wedding
If your family is helping a little or paying for the entire wedding, make sure you have an indepth conversation about the boundaries of input and control. Sometimes it can get stressful on the couple if they donât have control over their own wedding. Â
2. Come Up With A Budget
Everything begins and ends with the bottom line. The budget will dictate the entire wedding and how flexible you need to be. Â You have to be realistic in this area. Â Things add up pretty quickly. TRUST ME!
3. Create A Guest List
Take the time to write down all the friends and family you want to invite to your wedding. Â This has a direct effect on your budget and put things into perspective. Â Sometime is good to have an A and B list. The A list is for immediate family and friends. Those who have to get an invite! Â The B list is for those who will love to attend. But if push come to shove, the B list guests are the ones to cut.Â
4. Hire A Planner
The best decision you will ever make. Â A planner will help you put all the pieces together while keeping you SANE. Â If youâre working with a tight budget, opt for a Day/Month of Coordinator. Â This way you can at least enjoy your wedding day.Â
XOXOXO,
Your Dream Planner
