To avoid some embarrassing pitfalls
along the way, it is important that you plan ahead, and assign every task that
needs to be accomplished on your wedding day to someone reliable.
Planning your wedding can be both exciting and hectic, therefore,
you need to be fully prepared before getting into it.
To avoid some embarrassing pitfalls along the way, it is important
that you plan ahead, and assign every task that needs to be accomplished on
your wedding day to someone reliable.
With this, things would run more smoothly than if you had to DIY
all way. Here are 10 important things you need to know before you start
planning your wedding:
1. Plan to have everything you
need to create completed at least a month before the wedding, because that's
when all the chaos will hit and you won't be able to handle the time-sucking
crafting projects.
2. Don't plan to do anything
yourself on your wedding day. You'll be busy getting beautiful. Make sure
you've assigned everything to your friends and family (or hired staff) who are
assisting you. And confirm it again a week ahead and the day before the
wedding.
3. Have a bossy friend
assigned to handle everything on your wedding day. You can't be the one sending
the bridesmaids down the aisle.
4. Don't take on the
responsibility of picking up out-of-town guests at the airport, or else you'll
end up spending the days before your wedding playing chauffer.
5. Write your wedding schedule
and confirm it with your vendors a month before your wedding so you have plenty
of time to iron out the bugs before the big day.
6. Find out ahead of time what
you need to do to fulfill the marriage license requirements where you're
getting married so you're not in a panic to track down divorce decrees at the
last minute. That just puts a damper on the whole experience.
7. Make your own
transportation arrangements for the wedding day. Don't count on anybody else to
get you to your hair appointments - and the church - on time. If a friend is
driving, make sure it's someone incredibly reliable.
8. If you're doing your own
centerpieces, finish them as far ahead as possible. Flowers can be done up to
two days ahead if they're fresh and kept in a refrigerated environment. You
don't need to pull an all-nighter making bouquets after your rehearsal dinner.
9. Order lunch to be delivered
for your bridal party in advance - you won't think about it on your wedding day
because you'll likely be too nervous to be hungry. But bridesmaids get grumpy
(and intoxicated) if you forget to provide food for them when you're together
all day getting ready.
10.
Make
sure you have a cleanup/tear-down crew pre-assigned to handle whatever your
venue requires. You'll also need help taking the gifts home - possibly the
space of several cars. Don't wait til the last minute to deal with this or the
bride and groom may end up spending their wedding night dealing with trash
rather than romance.
