Wedding Planning Checklist
Congratulations on your engagement! After all the excitement, you may have realised that it is time to start getting ready, and there is nothing better than a Wedding Checklist. We all love checklists, I know I do!
But before you say this magical “I Do” let me help you prepare with a Wedding Planning Checklist that I have created for you to make it all nice, easy and relaxed. Getting Started
Getting Started
First things first – decided on where and when! Ask yourself what kind of wedding would you like to have; is it a traditional one in a lovely hotel or castle or are you more of an intimate elopement style person? It is very important to know before you start your preparations.
The second most important point is deciding on your budget so check with your partner and both parents to see if you can get any extra help. Once those two important points are decided you can now dive into more details.
The Big Picture
- Find a wedding coordinator if you need one.
- Make an approximate guest list
- Choose your bridesmaids and groomsmen
- Join some bride-to-be forums, groups and subscribe to wedding magazines
