Every
couple wants their wedding day to be perfect. Unfortunately,
that's a tall order, and at least a few things
may go wrong. If that happens there is always a way to
keep things flowing smoothly. The key is to stay calm and collected,
and stay with the plan. The day belongs to the bride
and groom, and whatever they want should rule the day. As
you get ready to start planning your wedding, decide exactly
what you want. Once you make certain choices, they will
be hard to change. Sit down with your fiance and discuss
your plans. Most likely you'll have budget constraints,
so you need to know what you absolutely must have
and what you'd be willing to let go. The
first major decision to be taken is on the date of the wedding.
If your plan is to get married in a church or any other
institution then you have to be sure of the availability
of the institution on that particular date, else
you may have to go for an alternate date. Therefore it is
important to have alternate dates so that you do not get overtly
disappointed at non-availability of venue. Next
important planning is to be done on the budget. Plan the
budget carefully and remain within your limits of finances
and time. Where ever possible think of ways where you
can cut costs. For example find out costs for different services
with different vendors to be able to choose the best
and most inexpensive alternative. When
you start buying the things that you need for your wedding
use a list that includes all costs and items that you
need and make sure that you stick to it. Contact merchants
in your area that offer the services that you need and
see if you can negotiate a better price. After all, it never
hurts to try. Hiring
a photographer is one of the biggest decisions in any wedding
plan. Your wedding photos will capture your memories and be with you all
of your lives. Visit several photographers
and look at a number of sample photos. You may have some special
pictures and you'll want to know before the wedding that this
photographer can shoot them. The
next important issue you want to decide on is the number of people you
want to invite to your wedding function. Be realistic and remain within
your budget while counting heads for sending the invite. If your budget
is tight then there is
no point in having a huge guest list, so you will have to cut down on
some names and limit only to those close family members and friends who
are important to you. After
deciding on the head count you have to decide on the caterer
that fits your budget. Do not decide on the caterer just
on the basis of the cost factor, take also into account his
reputation and services he is offering. Caterer cost also depends on the
menu you want for the wedding party- so deciding on a good and
reasonable menu is equally important. With
so many things to think about when it comes to planning your wedding
it's easy to overlook something. Ask
your bridesmaid or a member of your family to help you with the planning
so that nothing is left out. Sometimes
it helps to have
an extra person to help you make some of the more confusing
decisions, such as what type of music to play at the
reception. No
matter what the planning of your wedding brings it's important
to have fun and enjoy the planning of one of the most
special days in your life. Nicola
