Planning A Wedding In A Month
Who is to say that we need at least 12 months to plan a perfect wedding? With the right resources, guidance and tips, we can definitely whip up a good cocktail of organizational elements for the wedding of your dreams.
- Hire A Wedding Planner
Although this sounds counter-intuitive, hiring an experienced wedding planner will not only save you money but more importantly allow you to get straight to the essential part of organizing your wedding. A seasoned wedding planner will also lead you to many other experienced vendors who will eventually save you from a lot of unexpected headaches and obstacles. - Decide On The Venue
Everything starts falling into places when your venue is set. Once you’ve confirmed your wedding venue, that is also when you can confirm the details of your invitation card, logistic arrangement for your guests as well as the decorative theme for the wedding. Your wedding planner will be more autonomous in getting things done for you. - Run Through Your Guest List
You have a month to plan, hence you will have less than a month of lead time for your guests to respond, plan and eventually attend your wedding, this is especially so for out-of-town guests. Once you have decided on the venue, the next crucial task would be to finalize your guest list and have your invitation cards sent out. With the technology we have today, setting up an online RSVP page would also help a great deal in managing your guest’s responses. - Photography Package
In many Asian countries, wedding couples have the tradition to engage a bridal house for their pre-wedding photoshoot and actual-day photoshoot. They often include multiple wedding gowns and suits into their packages, often with options to rent, to buy or to customize, so you can easily hit 2 birds with 1 stone. - Set A Team of Bridesmaids and Groomsmen
Now the big picture is set, you will have a lot of details to look after. Gather your best friends and have them help you with the small tasks, especially errands to run on the actual day, such as picking up your out-of-town relatives from the airport, preparing the guest book, arranging corsages for family members and more. - Keep Yourselves Stress-Free
Having only a month’s time to organize the event of your life is definitely not an easy feat. Apart from the emotional roller coaster you will ride through, it takes a rational head to get everything in order. Therefore, it is important to keep your mind focused and enjoy the process of stepping towards your own happily-ever-after.
