Planning a Wedding
Planning a Wedding
Planning wedding begins with selecting the size of the wedding the month the theme and the colors. These factors are the foundation for the rest of the wedding from the invitations to the reception. The only other major factor is the budget for the wedding and reception. If the wedding is planned far enough in advance there is time to save for the special day and pay for the different expenses along the way prior to the day.
For some couples the cost of the wedding falls as responsibility to their parents to the sky is the limit making the planning easier due to less financial restraints. While there are couples that pay for the wedding and reception on their own they still can have a beautiful and memorable day by taking the time to plot and plan every aspect carefully.
Once the date has been set the colors and size selected as well as the theme it is time to pick out the location of the ceremony and the reception. Many locations want to have reservations at least 6 months prior so make sure to allow for this time. The wedding invitations will need to be ordered at least 3 months prior to the date. They will be mailed out one month before the day.
The wedding dress is one of the biggest aspects of the wedding. The bride will need to select a dress at least 6 months prior the date. Get any alterations done by one month prior to the wedding.
Select the foods and entertainment for the reception the flowers and decorations and the wedding gifts about 6 months before the date. The wedding attendants will need to have their attire selected fitted and purchased or rented 2 months prior to the date. The mothers need to have their dresses about the same time.
Allow for possible changes or unplanned issues by planning months before the typical schedule for the wedding events so you will not be caught off guard if something should pop up. You will not need the additional stress or worry.

The typical wedding planner dictates that the bride’s parents pay for the wedding. In reality, these days that isn’t always the norm.
My second wife and I both have two sets of parent. We had been living together for 8 years, but were ill equipped to throw our own wedding. We could contribute, sure, but to throw the whole shin-dig would be out of our realm. We asked each parent-couple to contribute $500 and they all agreed wholeheartedly. That gave us a budget of $2,000 which was plenty!
