Things to Prepare for Wedding Planning
When it comes to wedding planning there are many things that you
need to think about and prepare for. Most weddings end up being
anywhere from fifty people or more and this means that the
preplanning of the wedding is crucial to make sure that
everything goes off without a hitch.
If you're getting married and planning your wedding you'll want
to start months in advance so that you have time to have
everything exactly as you want it. Wedding planning starts with
picking a date so that you can make sure that all other planning
centers around it. Once you have the date picked you'll have to
see if the church is available.
If you're having your wedding in a place other than a church
you'll want to make sure that the minister or priest is
available on that date. After the date of the wedding has been
confirmed you're ready to plan the rest of it. You'll need to
have an exact guest count so that you know how big a space you
need to rent for your reception. You'll also need to have an
approximate head count so that you can get your invitations
ready to send out. It's polite to send your wedding invitations
out at least six weeks in advance and even sooner for those
guests that you have arriving from out of town.
After you have a head count and know exactly how many people are
coming to your wedding you'll need to hire a caterer. Weddings
usually have a more elaborate menu than other celebrations but
if you're on a limited budget you might have to choose
carefully. Many caterers will give you a discount for the more
people that you have attending so if you're having a large
wedding you might be able to find some special rates.
There are many other details that need to be taken care of when
planning weddings but the date, the location, invitations, and
caterer are the main focus points.
