Christmas is only a few days away. Girls: your Christmas present may be a beautiful engagement ring and with your answer of “yes” comes the challenge. First, take a few hours or days to bask in the glow of being engaged to avoid the frenzy (of planning your wedding).
When you are ready to start your wedding planning, here are a few tips to help you create your dream wedding.
- Set aside a time to talk with all of the “key” money players. Be realistic about how much money you have available for a full ceremony and reception.
- Consider the time between the ceremony and reception. A ceremony at 11:30am and a reception at 7pm would be too much time between these events (unless you have alternate activities planned for out of town guests). Your ceremony should be no more than a couple of hours before your reception unless you have a completely different guestlist for both events.
- Research (internet, bridal shows, and referrals) and interview (private meetings or consultations) your wedding professionals before signing contracts (and yes, written contracts ARE important).
- Use a wedding planning guide (download or wedding planning book or binder) so you have written notes and ideas when you need them.
