Wedding Checklists : The Basics Explained
29 Jun 2010
An upcoming wedding is, of course, an exciting prospect, but the amount of things that have to be taken care of for your big day to be as special as you want it to be can also lead to a sense of being overwhelmed. Whilst taking all of the stress out of the planning process is not possible, you can significantly reduce it by creating a wedding checklist. What is a wedding checklist? Quite simply, it is a list of everything that you need to do before your wedding day. The more detailed it is, the better. So, what should be the first item on your wedding checklist? It absolutely has to be your wedding budget, as the size of that will have a bearing on everything else on your list. You need to come up with an accurate figure because if you optimistically overestimate then you will only be setting yourself up for major disappointment later on. After the budget, the next two items on your list should be deciding how big or small (in terms of guest numbers) you want your wedding to be and choosing the best man and the maid of honor. Finding and booking venues for your wedding and wedding reception should be high up on your wedding checklist. Arrangements for these need to be confirmed as early as possible as popular venues tend to be booked well in advance. There are also decorations, food and entertainment to think about. Next up should be wedding attire. Rentals and fittings need to be sorted out for the bride’s dress, the groom’s suit and also decisions need to made on the attire for the rest of the wedding party. Items that can be easily forgotten until late on if left off of the wedding checklist are things such as the rings, the invitations, the flowers, the guest book, the thank you cards, a photographer, the honeymoon reservations and the attire for the honeymoon. Overlooking even one of these items can be real pain and will take the gloss off of your big day. To ensure that you do not miss anything off of your wedding checklist, it is advisable to start off with a sample wedding checklist from a wedding website and then to customize it. You can download sample wedding checklists for free, so it makes sense to at least browse one or two before creating your own.
