The process of planning a wedding can be daunting, but with careful thought and organization, it can be a very rewarding experience. There are many things to consider when planning your big day, from the venue and catering to the music and flowers. This article will outline some of the most important factors to consider when organizing your wedding.
Have you got the money?
How much you spend on your wedding day is entirely up to you, but do not go overboard. Remember that you will need to live as a married couple after the wedding as well as during it.
You may want to consider running a joint bank account or having a joint credit card for your expenses, but also think about what you would be spending your money on if you were not planning a wedding. You do not want to miss out on everyday treats and experiences because you have been too busy paying for a party.
Be prepared to compromise – there will almost certainly be things that you would both rather spend money on than a big wedding day.
Have you got the time?
Not just time in which to plan and organize, but also for the cost. Weddings can be expensive things to manage, and you should consider whether you have enough free time to do all of the necessary tasks.
This may include making invitations, catering for a wedding party at home, or simply keeping up with emails asking for alterations to particular elements in the wedding. If you have not got time to plan your own day, you should consider delegating some responsibilities to others.
Have you found the right venue?
You may have your heart set on a certain venue, but if it does not suit the number of people you are inviting, whether because there is no room for all of them or because it is too far away, then this could ruin your day.
For instance, do you want a venue with special reception halls? Or do you want to make use of the gardens for an outdoor ceremony? Think about how many people you are inviting, and whether you want your wedding indoors or outdoors.
The important thing to remember here is that you do not want to risk losing potential guests because they are not able to attend. Try to find a venue that is accessible for all of the people you want to invite or which can easily accommodate any number beyond your original estimate.
Have you found the right suppliers?
There are many people needed to help you plan and organize your wedding, from caterers to photographers. It would help if you considered who you feel most comfortable with, as this will be easier than feeling obliged to work with someone only because they have agreed to take on a certain role.
For instance, if you have always wanted a particular photographer but they are booked up on your wedding date, you will need to find someone else who will be able to take the photos for you. When choosing suppliers, remember that these people will be involved in one of the most important days of your life. There is no point settling for less than what you want because it has more availability.
