It may seem overwhelming at first, but every wedding moves
according to THE PLAN if you take the time to do it right. No time?
No experience? Scared of where to
start? Follow this list and check them
off when completed.
1. Work out your
budget. Determine how much you've got to
spend and what are the sources of those funds?
(Hint: do not say my Visa or
MasterCard). This will include the guest
list. How many people do you plan to
attend? The reception will likely
represent the single largest wedding
expense.
2. Decide on the type
of wedding you want. Morning, afternoon,
evening? Formal or not?
3. Decide on the date
and book your venues for the ceremony and reception. If they are in separate places, try to
minimize the travel time between them.
4. Book the officiant
for your ceremony.
5. Research, decide on and book photographers, florists,
caterers (if needed) and entertainment (if wanted).
6. Find your dream
gown. Order it and make possible bridesmaid selections.
7. Select members of
your wedding party. Select and order
bridesmaids gowns and order tuxedos.
8. If you will have
out of town guests, book a block of rooms at two or three different sites with
price options available for your guests.
9. Register for gifts.
Sign up at a minimum of three retail locations - again with a variety of
price points.
10. Know that there
are many other decisions you'll need to make but these are key and will provide
a structure for you to follow as you choose options.
