Many married couples or those who are getting married shortly; all know planning a wedding can be extremely painful and stressful especially when you do not have a whole lot of time to plan it. In order to plan a successful wedding and a fast one, you need to practice patience and become more flexible to actually pull it off. Below I have listed ten key points that I have found to be successful. When you have so little time, it can be extremely hard to come up with extra money so be sure to make a game plan and stick to it.
Lay out your budget and stick to it! At this time you cannot really count on extra money coming in so make a wedding budget checklist, decide what you want to spend and actually stick to it.
Start planning. As soon as you have chosen your wedding date, buy a wedding planner book or calendar and begin putting a time line in tact with the items from your budget checklist. Next you can schedule a wedding officiant Oshawa,vendor, florist, venues, photographers, etc. The above items should be schedules as soon as possible, so remember that time is extremely important.
Make a guest list. Once you have found your venue you wish to get married in, make a guest list that will fit. For example, do not invite 50 guests to a 30 seat hall – consider having your reception and ceremony in the same location. It will save you time and will help keep costs dramatically down.
Who will be at the wedding party? You need to think who is going to your wedding party and ask them so you can get the fittings out of the way. Sometimes alterations can take several months and this is one part that needs to be taken care of.
Pick and choose. Now you need to pick the photographer, florist and stationary. You need to get these things scheduled – flowers can be seasonal, photographers are busy and stationary takes weeks.
Register gifts. Many stores in today’s society have the option for wedding registry and you can also go online and make yourself a wedding gift list, make a blog site, website so that things can be shared with your family and friends.
Food. You need to contact caterers or discuss food options with the reception. Make sure to decide up front what is to happen with all the leftover’s and beverages. Also make sure to pick out your wedding cake so you can accommodate it for weather conditions.
Hiring. Now it is time to schedule your DJ/Music, servers/bartender, restrooms, parking, who is going to clean and who returns the grooms tux and shoes?
Preparing honeymoon. Make sure you prepare for your honeymoon – make arrangements for baggage, travel, hotels, time, as well as every single aspect that needs to be done right away. Make sure to double check your checklist to make sure everything is schedules so you can enjoy your special day.
Have fun. Now the most easiest and best is to kick back and have fun – make sure that there are sober drivers and make your wedding day something you will never forget.
