Planning a wedding can be a stressful event. However, if you have a good plan, itdoesn’t have to be! From the flowers to the cake to the guests; everything requires adecision and that decision should have been made two days ago. If you are having aserious case of the wedding disaster jitters, take a deep breath and check out the tipsthat have been included below. They are sure to save you some time and perhaps yoursanity.

Get your guest list in order

It’s your day, but your guests are important too. The first thing that you need todetermine is how many guests you will be inviting. Knowing this information can makemany other decisions so much easier, such as what venue you will choose, what foodyou will serve, even the style of cake that you will be choosing. Pin this number downquickly so that everything else will begin to fall into place as well. Even though you maynot be planning to send your invitations out for some time, you will still want to gatherup a list of those who you will be sending a ‘save the date’ to. Whether you are havinga close, intimate gathering or a large free for all, you will want to plan for the number ofpeople that you expect to make an appearance. You can usually expect about 70% ofthose who are invited to show up for the big day.

Think about the weather

The next question that you should ask is what the weather will be like when you areplanning your wedding. If it will be in the summer and you are considering an outdoorwedding, this may help you choose the dresses for your bridesmaids. Try choosing lightand flowing dresses so that your girls won’t become overheated and start to showsweat stains on the dresses. This will make for some uncomfortable photos after yousay your “I do’s”. Likewise, if your wedding is in the winter you will want to planaccordingly. The last thing that you would want is to be standing outside shivering whileyou are marrying the man of your dreams.

Set a Budget

More than likely, you don’t have an unlimited amount of money to spend on yourwedding, even though that would make things so much easier. Weddings are expensiveand it is easy to get carried away quickly. It is best to set a budget early on in theprocess so that you are not overwhelmed by spending more than you had planned.Below is a general breakdown of how you should expect to allocate your money:

49% for reception

9% for flowers

9% for entertainment

12% for photographer

3% – for invitations

3% – for gifts for the wedding party

8% – for the wedding planner

Remainder for surprise items

Keep in mind that this is not an exact science and you will need an additional budgetwhen it comes to the wardrobe for you and your wedding party. However, this will giveyou a general idea as to what you can expect.

Plan for an Emergency

You never know when something will fail on your dress or a button will pop off of yourgroom’s jacket at the last minute. Being prepared for these potential disasters will saveyou some stress, tears and pictures on your big day. Make sure that you have anemergency kit available so that you can take care of a few of those last minuteproblems that pop up with your wardrobe. You’ve spent hours and hours and a ton ofmoney planning your wedding; when the big day finally does arrive, you deserve tohave exactly the day that you paid for. Having a disaster will not be in the card for youif you plan for an emergency.

This is a really helpful article. I especially appreciate your budget breakdown. It seems practical, and I honestly

think some people don’t give a lot of thought to how their wedding money should be allocated.

Another good suggestion is to think about the weather. I recently attended an outdoor wedding which turned

unseasonably cold, and the poor bride spent her whole reception with an unattractive coat covering her

beautiful wedding dress. Think ahead and find a nice jacket that enhances your look if necessary.

Thank you for sharing your great method..I am preparing for my wedding hoping for a GORGEOUS AND

ELEGANT wedding. Keep up the great work and thank you very much this such helpful :)
