When it comes to planning your wedding, things can get very hectic quickly. That's why you need a "plan for your wedding planning" as odd as this may sound. You should determine early on what tasks will have to be completed to successfully plan the wedding on time and within budget.
Things to Do Very Early On
There are some things that just can't wait when it comes to wedding planning. First, secure your photographer of choice with a money deposit. Once you have a wedding date set, you can talk with a photographer and schedule the photo session for your bridal portraits and secure their services for your wedding day. The reason you'll want to book this very early is because photographers (really good ones) are usually booked months in advance, and many weddings are on weekend days.
Find a wedding dress early on as well so you'll have time for fitting, ordering, and alterations (if needed). The bridesmaids will need plenty of time for their dresses so keep them informed also. Choose wedding colors and possibly a wedding theme before you start planning. Once you know the colors, you can start shopping for wedding favors and decorations early and possibly find some great bargains when you're not in a rush.
Choose a Location for Your Wedding
Probably one of the most important things you'll do is choose a location for your wedding. If having the wedding in a church, consider the types of decorations you will need and where you might hold the reception. If planning a wedding outdoors, you'll have to take possible weather conditions into consideration - and do have a backup plan! Pick a location with great lighting, or plan to illuminate with additional lighting. The location is important to know how many decorations you will need, depending on the size of the building or area, and how many guests you can invite.
Hire a Wedding Director
A wedding director should be booked early on as well so you can be sure to have one when the day arrives. The director can help with last minute planning and the formalities of the ceremony. You'll likely consider the director to be a lifesaver when the day finally arrives!
Order Decorations, Flowers, Invitations, and Wedding Party Gifts
The little details can cause big headaches if you don't do these early on. You'll need invitations early enough to address them and mail them at least a month ahead of the wedding date. Flowers and corsages should be ordered well in advance along with small appreciation gifts for the wedding party including bridesmaids, groomsmen, etc.
To save time and possibly money, you might be able to order many of the small wedding items online. There are thousands of wedding websites that carry almost every decoration, gift, or invitation you can think of at reasonable prices. The wedding websites also usually offer great tips on wedding planning for your benefit.
Don't forget about the wedding rings, catering, wedding songs, reception decorations, punch, food, and of course, the wedding cake. These are all crucial parts of wedding planning and have to be taken care of early on to minimize stress. If you take care of the wedding planning far in advance, you'll see things fall into place and be able to enjoy your wedding as it was meant to be!
