First 5 Things to do When Planning a Wedding
So, as you begin to plan your wedding, start with these 5 items. Once you’ve settled on these, planning the other little details will be much easier.
Set A Budget
Everyone is familiar with the phrase, planning a wedding is a lot of money. The truth is that this is the case. But you don’t have to stress about the money if you have a budget. It is always recommended that couples write out the budget that they want to keep for their wedding. This is the best way to ensure that you don’t spend more than you actually want to.
Pick a Date
Next, it’s time to pick the date. Now choosing when you want to have your wedding might not be that simple. You want to be able to work with everyone’s schedule and have all your loved ones there. The reality is that it might take you a little while to choose the date. You’re also probably looking at the season and the weather because the little things matter. So, choose the perfect date for you and your partner, then move on to the next task.
Select a Venue
Now that you have the date, you want to select book your venue quickly. Wedding venues always get taken up quickly; that is because wedding season is a thing. So, keep in mind that you should check your venue options if you already have a month or date and make sure that you have that time available. The faster you secure your venue, the better. And remember that you always have the choice of an indoor or outdoor wedding, so keep this in mind as well.
Make a Guest List
The guest list is one that makes takes you a couple of weeks or even a couple of months. Depending on how large you want your wedding to be, your guest list may or may not be hard to write. Of course, you want to invite all your closest family members and friends, but you can’t always invite everyone. Also, keep in mind your venue and the capacity that it takes, and this makes it a little easier to curate your guest list.
Rent a Party Bus or Limousine
Last but not least is what we consider to be one of the most important parts of planning a wedding. Deciding the vehicle that you’re going to role into your wedding with is more than important. This is a great start to determining the kind of aesthetic that you want to have. In addition, you can use this to determine how you want your decorations to be. Choose from a limousine or a luxury vehicle. And if you want your guests to enjoy their time even more, hire party buses to take them to and from their cars to the venue.
