Following these six “Must Do’s” before you say your “I do’s” will ensure you plan your wedding without stress or disappointment. This is an amazing time for you; it is your chance to make your most important day everything you imagine. Enjoy it!
1. Set the Date: After announcing your engagement, your friends and family will want to know the wedding date. Set the wedding date as soon as possible so the rest of your planning can begin.
2. Set a budget: Setting your budget is the most important thing you will do while planning your wedding. No one should go into debt as they embark on marriage, and setting your budget will keep you from doing so.
3. Hire a planner: Wedding consultants are no longer just for the rich and famous. Most modern day brides hire consultants who save them time and money.
4. Choose your locations early: Choose your ceremony and reception sites as early as possible to ensure that you don’t fall in love with a venue that is already booked on your date.
5. Request references: It is important that you request references from all the vendors you do business with. You will be giving deposits, and it is important to know that they follow though with the promises they make.
6. Get it in writing: From the planner to the cake and dress, make sure you get the services you are promised from each vendor in writing. If they don’t put it in writing, don’t use them.
