How To Plan A Wedding
He asked you to marry him and you agreed. Now what do you do? The work is just beginning to plan the wedding day of your dreams. These tips should help keep you calm and organized as you plan the most important day of your life.
Make the Announcement
These days it is easier than ever to spread the word. Unless you really want to, you no longer need to go to the effort of a formal newspaper announcement. You can spread the word as simply as tweeting your message to the world.
Letting people know about your big day is not just about your own vanity and wanting the world to fuss over you. Okay, who doesn't want that? But it also lets your friends and family prepare for the event as well. Everyone has scheduling issues, clothes and presents to buy, skin to tan, and weight to lose.
Get Started on the Planning Straight Away
Although you would like to think you are the only bride on earth and from now until you say I do, the world will not be focused on you. But thousands of other women will also be feeling like they are the only bride-to-be in the world as well. This means that there are potentially thousands of people competing for the same venue, catering companies, dresses and accessories. The only way to ensure that you are in first in line for your favorite items, is to plan ahead.
How to Get and Stay Organized
Most people know that it's a good idea to plan ahead, but it's often easier said than done. The first thing you should do to get organized is go to your local stationery or book store and buy yourself a notebook. This journal or notebook will be something you want to keep after your wedding, so make sure it's something special. It can also be nice to buy a special pen to use.
In this notebook your can keep an easy-to-find record of everything you need for your wedding. Write down phone numbers, websites and email addresses for everyone involved in your wedding, from friends and family through to caterers, hotels and florists. Important information like your future mother-in-law's dress size and the special needs of your bridal party should also be recorded in your notebook. In this electronic age, it can seem more useful to record all of this information on your PDA or cell phone, but in twenty years when your PDA has been lost, replaced or stopped working, your memories will have disappeared along with it.
Although initially you may think this is a lot of extra work, you will reap the rewards closer to your wedding day. Wait until a couple of days before your wedding when your preparations have reach fever-pitch and you are feverishly searching your house for the caterer's card. Then your notebook will be invaluable. More than anything else, your notebook will become your fail-proof bride-zilla prevention tool.
Make Sure You Communicate
Effective communication is not just about what you say, it is also about making sure that other people understand you. To make sure that everyone is on the same page when it comes to your wedding, make sure to get everything in writing. Whenever you get a quote for work or a promise of delivery, make sure your vendor gives you a receipt. Keep all of your receipts and quotes in your faithful notebook. Make sure you contact your vendors as your wedding day approaches to ensure there are no problems or delays likely to cause problems. Make sure to get confirmation in writing. The best way to handle this is to follow up via email.
