Wedding Checklist: Before the Wedding Preparations (Part 1)

Finally found that special someone and the cheesy proposal was a success, now on to the time consuming, stress accumulator before the wedding preparations.

Let's start this checklist by knowing how much time left you to have in your hands. Once that is settled here are more to-dos to accomplish:

1. Choose the theme that best represents the both of you

Be guided that there are a lot of wedding themes to choose from so be sure to choose wisely. It is after all your wedding so focusing on what the both of you want should be prioritized and let your guests get to know you better.

Deciding the wedding theme also include the type of wedding you'll be having, may it be a church type, a garden type or a beach type. It also pays to know the season of your chosen date so weather issues will be expected.

2. Elucidate well the budget

Don't shy away from knowing how much you should be spending. Know your budget and work things out. There's no need to go overboard with the details and stuff because more responsibilities are coming once you tie the knot.

It is good to allow a good amount of money for the wedding but not all. Be sensible on what you should be buying and decide with a clear mind.

3. Best approximation of the number of guests

Once the budget is set, now off to how many guests you should be inviting. Remember to know the best estimation of your attendees. It does not hurt to get in touch and have an RSVP sent out for a much proper estimation of guests to arrive.

Here in the Philippines, Filipinos are known to have a lot of guests once a relative is getting married. You sent a single invitation and that one invite counts for the number of members of that family so be sure to consider that.

4. Canvass and do some research

Since the budget is all set and the estimation of guests is anticipated then off to the hunt. Not hunt like kill and hang on walls more of finding the right suppliers, venue, and services kind of thing. It pays to do some research and canvassing for your wedding to find the best available.

One good note to remember is to select the venue and Church, if it is a Church wedding, ahead of time and reserve it fast for these two are one of the things you should not mess up and are one of the bummers if not reserved earlier.

If you're not into planning and has a bad case of disorganization, then seeking help from a wedding planner is your best bet. A wedding planner is basically your right hand that executes your ideas that magically make your dream wedding turned reality.
