So you just got engaged and youve been living in la la land staring at your ring finger, getting a manicure every week and talking a lot more with your left hand. Its fun isnt it!? But now that a couple of weeks have passed by people are starting to ask you questions about your wedding… a lot of questions. But you dont have the answers! Uh oh!
Dont look so confused. Use these tips and get started on your wedding planning:
1. Find a venue before you set a date – Setting a date before securing a venue? Thats a big wedding planning mistake. Just because its your wedding, does not mean you pick a date of your choice, dont secure a venue and announce the date to the world. Venues are scarce and weddings are many. So, find out the dates when a venue is available, pick a date, secure a contract with the venue for that date, and then call up everyone and let them know your wedding date.
2. Discuss the money issue with your parents – Your parents are so happy that their pretty little girl is getting married! But now its time to sit them down and discuss the money issue. Wedding planning needs money. And you need to ask your parents for it. It may make you feel like a little girl running to her parents for help, but believe me there are not many people who can do a wedding without the help of their parents. So sit down with them and discuss the wedding budget. Dont go out buying expensive stuff just because you assumed that your parents can afford it!
3. Get the groom involved – Wedding planning without the groom? Not a great idea. You dont want to leave the poor fellow out. Its his wedding too! I know you want everything your way, but your fianc might actually have some awesome ideas which you never ever would have thought about! So, ask your fianc to write down what he wants his wedding to be like. You also do the same on a separate piece of paper. Then just switch the two pieces of paper and be amazed. Not only will you be surprised how similar your ideas are, but some great ideas might just be revealed. So go on, let the wedding planning begin!
