Weddings are fun, but anyone who has ever planned a wedding might be happy to tell you about the horror stories of everything that went wrong. Unfortunately, this happens all too often no matter how well you plan or how experienced your resources might be. Planning the wedding doesn’t have to be like that, though.
One of the most important aspects to consider when planning is to try to match the type of wedding to the length of time you have to make the plans.
The dress can be a problem all by itself. Too many women tend to design their wedding dresses in their heads, and then try to find the exact one. Weeks and months of dress shopping frequently end up in tears and utter disappointment. In today’s world not many people have this kind of time and many brides are therefore looking for options. These options include renting a dress, buying a used one, or just foregoing the official wedding dress altogether and choosing cocktail attire. Let the bridesmaids do the same thing.
One of the most time consuming aspects is choosing the dress. Women spend weeks and weeks looking for that perfect dress. If this isn’t something you have time for, and perhaps aren’t even interested in, rent one! This is a fast upcoming business aimed solely at women who realize how cost effective this is. One fitting, one payment, and you can wait till a week before the wedding. Bridesmaids? Have them do the same thing.
Delegation is the key to success, no matter what the size the wedding is. Find friends and family whom you can trust, and have them manage one entire process from the start to finish. Tell them exactly what you want and let them handle it. With smart phones that can handle video, photos, voice notes, web browsing, and text and messages, you can be kept up to date with what’s happening.
If you have happen to not be a fan of those old fashioned and boring and usually inedible sit down dinners, too often interrupted by photos and music and other distractions, save yourself a small fortune and opt for something much more fun and enjoyable. Wines, cheeses, sushi, finger sandwiches and dips can be much easier, and people can eat whenever they want. Cut down on liquor expenses by setting a cappuccino bar with pastries, too.
This is perfect for a late afternoon wedding, especially a less than formal event. Any of these choices can be quite elegant and very memorable.
Don’t forget to check on your transportation a few days ahead. Whether you are using limos or depending on friends, double check addresses, times, routes and even talk about parking availability in larger cities for friends driving in.
Finally, ask everyone to send gifts rather than bringing them to the reception. This way you won’t need to rely on people to gather them and cart them to your home later on.
