Your engagement to your “one and only” has finally happened, and you couldn’t be happier. With a ring on your finger, you can be sure you are destined to spend the rest of your life with the person who you love with all your heart. It is an exciting time for you, and you are indeed looking forward to that big day when you say your “I do’s” and start a brand new life together.
Just the same, there are some things you need to think about before getting your wedding planning on the way. This is the time to enjoy your engagement and work together to ensure you’re both involved in the planning. As a couple, you should agree on every detail that goes into the preparations for the big day. At the end of it all, you can congratulate each other for being a great team and having an unforgettable wedding event. Of course, you want everything to be perfect, from the personalised notecards for your very special guests to your venue, and many more. As this is a once-in-a-lifetime event, nothing but the best will do.
Below are a few things to think about before planning for your big day.
Maintain your communication with each other
You have always felt comfortable talking to your fiancé, and this is even more essential concerning your wedding plans and before you start making official arrangements. Start with openly discussing how you imagine your wedding day to be like, which you may have already mentioned in the past. It would be best if you both spoke out about your personal ideas on how you would want it to turn out. Talk about religious beliefs as this would play a crucial role for your wedding and whether you want a church wedding or would be content with a civil ceremony. Point out some of the essential elements that count from your point of view, such as the venue, entertainment, etc.
Decide on a budget
You may be wondering how much you will need for your wedding day. The answer depends on how much you are willing to spend on it. While you may have married friends who have given you an idea about their budget for their wedding day, it is immaterial as you and your partner will have to decide what you are comfortable with. Determining a budget will ensure no hitches on your big day, and everything goes according to plan. It is also best to keep in mind that you may overshoot what you have allocated for your wedding and have something extra above the amount you come up with.
Create a guest list
Both your partner and yourself should create a guest list, deciding who you would want to share the occasion with you. While doing this, you should be considering your budget as well. If you are both decided on a big wedding, having many guests would not be a problem. Just the same, it would be best to list down everyone on both sides, so you know the number of people and are prepared for the expenses entailed, the seating arrangements, and so on. You may also want to decide on your wedding entourage during this time.
When you carefully plan every detail with your fiancé, you can rest assured that your wedding day will flow smoothly and be the best start for a lifetime together.
