It's only a few weeks until the big day, and we can't wait to celebrate with you! This week, we would like to share some important information and tips for planning your wedding. Whether you’re ready or not, it is time to start planning for your special day. Here are some key tips:
1. Choose a date that works for you – don't be afraid to take the plunge if the one you love isn't available on your desired date. Don't forget to book an officiant and caterer!
2. Book a venue – this is where you'll hold your ceremony and reception. It’s essential to choose a place that reflects your style and preferences. Be sure to have all paperwork in order beforehand, including insurance coverage.
3. Determine your budget – this will help determine the scope of your wedding. Consider everything from venue rental fees to catering, florist, photographer, hair/makeup, and other services. It’s important not to go into the wedding without having a solid idea of what it will cost.
4. Create an invitation suite – this is where you’ll send out your wedding invitations. Consider using a variety of envelope inserts, postcards, and save-the-dates to appeal to your guests. Make sure to get the word out to family, friends, and acquaintances via email or social media.
5. Choose a color scheme – this will help you visually present your wedding day. Be sure to choose complementary colors that work together while still being unique.
6. Create your wedding website – this is a great way to provide your guests with everything they need for the big day. Have a look at our website, www.myweddingguy.com, and create your profile today!
7. Choose a florist and caterer – we recommend working with local businesses that will help keep prices reasonable while still providing high-quality service. Don't forget to book them early as many venues require contracts be signed in advance of the wedding date.
8. Book your DJ/band – this is a crucial step to ensure your guests have a great time on the dance floor. You’ll want a professional who has experience with weddings and can provide a suitable playlist for all ages.
9. Create your guest list – you'll need to create an accurate guest list to help ensure everyone has received their invitations. Keep track of your guests as they arrive, and make sure to have all necessary information (such as contact info and wedding date) ready beforehand.
10. Confirm the details with vendors – once you’ve finalized everything, it's time to call and confirm all details with vendors. Be sure to have all payment instructions on hand and any insurance or liability waivers filled out ahead of time.
Remember, planning a wedding is not a one-size-fits-all event. Take the time needed to create a beautiful day that reflects your personalities and values. With our professional team by your side, you'll be on your way to a truly unforgettable celebration!
