Top 10 tips for Wedding Planning and a Fun Wedding
10. If going to a
bridal show, take labels with you. Those labels you get every year from
AAA or other companies will work great. These will save you time and prevent hand cramps.
9. If at such a show, when vendors
start to talk to you and you don't want to chat tell them you have a best
friend who is going to do that service or that you're having a destination
wedding. Don't forget to enter
every give away you can.
8. Do not assume you know what dress you will like - that style dress that you never think you will
like may be the dress that you put on and fall in love with.
7. Consider a
wedding planner or a day of planner. The day of should be a day of fun, not a
day of worry for those involved.
6. Bridesmaids - bring a "day of kit" - and Kleenex.
5. Be prepared to answer the question, "when are you having children?" Discuss this answer with your fiancé ahead of time.
4. Go to
pre-marital counseling or ask a counselor friend to put some
activities/questions together for you to do. The more you know about each other
the better.
3. Relax.
Inevitably something will go unplanned and sometimes it is that unplanned thing
that will be what brings a smile to your face when you think back to that
wonderful day.
2. Have open
communication with your spouse. Find out what aspects of your wedding your spouse cares about. Remember, everyone will have an opinion about
your wedding (your mom, dad, grandma, best friend, sister, mom's best friend, etc) ... Determine early whose opinion you care about and imagine
healthy ways to handle everyone else's opinions.
1. Have fun! Laugh,
cry, celebrate and most of all support each other. A wedding is a community coming
together to bless two people who are saying that they're choosing to live in community
together. Is there anything more beautiful than that?
