Make no mistake. Planning a wedding is a battle, if not a war. If you don’t take a planned, disciplined approach to it, you are going to lose to stress, mistakes, and the desire to smash the wedding cake in someone’s face. To avoid that inglorious defeat, you need to set down some battle plans.
Know what you need to know
There are a few factors that are going to influence certain choices about the wedding. For instance, when choosing the location, you need to know where some of the more important members of both invitees are able to travel to. When considering costs, you have to be aware of just how many are invited to both the ceremony and the celebrations. If either of you has some more traditional close family members, then you might want to be conscious of their sensibilities and be respectful to them in some of your choices. It’s your party, so it’s your choice, but it’s a good idea to get the factors out in the open so you can discuss them rather than being blindsided.
Time is a fickle mistress
Once you’ve set the date, you are going to feel the ticking of the countdown in every fiber of your being. Without a wedding planning timeline to schedule different aspects of the wedding, it can feel like you’re barely making a scratch in the plans, no matter how much you do. Make sure you give yourself the appropriate amount of time and plan it out by the month, so you don’t worry about how much progress you’re making.
It costs how much?
Besides having the timeline figured out in advance, you should have the finances figured out. In fact, it’s a good idea to not set the date until you have the budget for the wedding and the funds are all decided. If you are racing against the clock, instead of saving, taking no credit check installment loans can be a great help. Don’t be afraid to ask for money if you want to recoup some of the costs, either. It’s becoming a lot more common and some of your guests will be genuinely relieved they don’t have to think of a present.
Don’t go it alone
No matter how much time you give yourself, you’re going to suffering from a lot of stress if you’re left to organize the wedding by yourself. Make sure that you’ve enlisted your bridesmaids, your husband, and the rest of the wedding party, delegating what they can reasonably be expected to handle. If you have room in the budget, you can save yourself a huge amount of work by looking for a wedding planner, instead. Just make sure they’re reputable by looking at online reviews before handing the reins of your wedding to a complete stranger.
Without some real organization behind the wedding plan, it’s all too easy for the lead-up to be much more stressful than it needs to be. You have enough to be nervous about, you don’t need stress taking the place that should rightfully belong to the excitement.
