Tips for planning your wedding

Getting excited about your wedding? Have you started the research and gathering of the information, you’ll need to plan it properly? It is better to start early instead of ending up in a stressful situation. Here are some wedding planning tips:

Who is doing what?
Sit down with your future spouse and discuss openly and honestly the "planning" responsibilities. Who will plan the entertainment? Who will plan the menu? Who will decide on the baker and see it through? The many, many details are important.

Visit a couple of wedding shows
There are lots of wedding shows going on all the time and you can attend a wedding show or two in your area. See what vendors offer, asking detailed questions about their services and gathering information about pricing.

The wedding sites of your dream
Write a list of sites that you have always dreamed of having your wedding. Narrow the sites to three of your favorites, then check to see if your wedding date is available at the site before making the visit.

How many wedding guests?
The size of the guest list is one of the most important issues to discuss. When planning the guest list, consider two components: number of guests invited or the wedding budget. Usually, a small wedding consist of 100 guests or less. These are normally a smaller budget because the reception (food and refreshments) consist of 40% of the cost of the event. So, what is a large wedding? A large wedding can consist of 300-500 guests. This is mostly an extravagant affair, and the budget isn't as important as the celebration itself. Providing a wonderful reception for a large number of guests can really add up! so plan accordingly.
