Planning a wedding with ease is not as easy as it sounds, although there are some ways in which one can make it more manageable. In this piece, we explore lots of ways in which one can make life a little easier and how anyone can plan a wedding with ease – and enjoy it!
The first thing you need to be aware of is getting the big jobs out of the way first. This is vital to reducing stress and keeping your planning under control. So, if you do nothing else today, get that wedding venue booked. Did you know that wedding venues get booked up as much as 3 years in advance so to get your desired location and venue, you do need to book early? Your choice of venue, location and time of year will then help you decide on a wedding theme. Once this is all booked and a deposit paid, you can congratulate yourself on taking the first big step.
Secondly, you need to give some thought to your wedding stationery and your guest list. Depending on how you wish to invite your guests, you may choose to send out ‘Save the Date’ cards in addition to invitations so that your guests keep your special day free. This is especially important if you are planning to get married during the summer when many families book holidays some years in advance.
Rule number three – this is all about planning your wedding and enjoying yourself at the same time! And yes, that is really possible. Start by getting yourself a book or folder – this can go with you everywhere and will be the best place to store phone numbers, bridal inspirations. Then, you must consider which items are immediate [e.g. things that need to be prepared in advance, such as booking the evening entertainment]. Next, you must draw up a 12-month schedule and insert each job into a month. Of course, the more immediate actions will need to be addressed in the first few months, whereas ordering wedding favours may wait until later on. Some people find organising such a big event too difficult and if this sounds like you, why don’t you ask for a bit of help? There are loads of reasonably priced wedding planners out there who can help you with aspects of your wedding or arrange the complete day for you. You need to weigh up the cost between spending out on a planner and how much you can physically cope with by yourself. Alternatively, family and friends may be able to offer you help in some areas.
Hopefully by now you have booked a venue, got a planning book or folder, and enlisted some help, drawn up a 12 month action plan. And, if you have managed to enjoy yourself along the way, that’s even better! Now you can have a well earned rest until next month when your next job needs doing as you continue in your journey of planning your wedding with ease.
