Planning a wedding is probably the scariest mountain to climb in a newbie life of the bride-to-be. That is not to say that the next few years or months are all going to be an uphill struggle, but the reality is that wedding planning is hard work. This article seeks to provide you with some tangible inspiration on how you can achieve perfect wedding planning!
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.
The next BIG job to get arranged is the wedding stationery and the 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.
Thirdly, you need to ensure you are enjoying yourself; that's right, enjoy yourself! Being organised is a great way to keep stress manageable and allows you to enjoy the process you are going through. You can start by investing in 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. If you feel that some of your planning is too time consuming, why don't you shop around for a wedding planner or enlist the help of family and friends? You may be surprised at how reasonable planners are these days and also how accommodating your friends and family may be. In fact, they may be really flattered that you have asked them!
Well, there it is, you have made a good start to planning your wedding. And, if you have managed to enjoy yourself along the way, that's even better! Now you can chill out for a bit, whilst you bask in the glory of perfect wedding planning.
