Planning a wedding can be exciting; it can also be overwhelming and stressful. When the newly engaged hit the 12-month mark panic tends to set in. Did I book enough rooms at the hotel? Is the shuttle I got big enough? Did I give enough options for dinner? Did I include his favorite song on the playlist? And on and on it can go. It’s important to remember that things have a way of working out, and that no matter how much planning and time you invest into the process usually something doesn’t go according to plan. So what’s the best way to make sure you crossed and dotted as many I’s and T’s as possible without going crazy?
Make sure everything that needs to be booked is. The music, the hall, the food, the ceremony, the dress, the tuxedoes, the flowers, the transportation, and the invitations, those are the necessities.
Then focus on the extras, do I need to reserve a hotel for my out of town guests? Do I want to set up a registry? Am I going to send out thank you cards? Does the size and scope of my event require a planner? Things like a photo booth or cigar rolling station fall into this category.
Then it is time to concentrate on the fine details. The playlist for the DJ, extra rides or transportation for guests or extended family, the final touches on the invitations and the thank you cards. The little things that sometimes make a good day great.
Finally you need to sit back and relax. Most people miss something and that’s normal, remember the amount of effort and money that goes into your day and make sure you enjoy it. In the end everything will work out.
