Planning a wedding is all fun till it gets to the nitty gritty that drives you insane.
If you don’t have a wedding planner, it can be overwhelming to keep track of all the minute details. It can be easy to miss important things on your big day and get flustered all over again.
That is why you need a checklist to guide you on every process or task and help you prepare for a picture-perfect wedding day.
A budget
Whether you want a small, intimate, or big fairytale wedding, it would help if you and your partner agreed on how much cash you are willing to part with. With a budget, you can set realistic goals and save money. It will highlight everything you want for the wedding and help scratch some off the list to cut down on spending. Once you know your total cost, you can call various vendors and event centers to compare prices and find the planning team that matches your budget.
A planning team
If you are planning your wedding alone, you will need some help. Don’t hesitate to assign tasks to your family, friends, or bridal team. You can let them help to create the guest list or choose a wedding dress. On the big day, assign minor tasks like handing out programs to your wedding party to relieve some stress and keep things organized.
A ring
Your wedding ring is a highlight of your wedding ceremony and is a special symbol for you and your partner. It is essential to start ring shopping months or weeks before the wedding to give you ample time to add engravings. Or contact a credible diamond concierge to find the perfect stone for your custom ring. Also, you will need to find a trustworthy person who will keep your rings on the wedding day.
A wedding theme
You might have a lot of wonderful ideas for your wedding, but you need to have a theme that will keep everything in harmony. A theme will also guide you in choosing the right decorations, invitation cards, and venue. While doing this, incorporate your and your partner’s personalities and shared interests. You can also consider the season of your wedding. For instance, if you choose to have your ceremony in the summer, you can choose a theme that is summer inspired.
For a unique and memorable celebration, consider a boat wedding. This option not only provides a stunning backdrop of water and sky but also allows you to blend elegance with a sense of adventure. Whether you’re looking for a romantic sunset ceremony or a lively reception on the waves, a boat wedding can perfectly complement a summer-inspired theme.
Wedding entertainment
Keep your guests entertained on your happy day by providing good music, drinks, and a fun reception. Book in advance if you want a classical singer to sing for you as you walk down the aisle or a DJ at your reception. Line up the activities for your reception and ensure all the performers have an allocated time. If you want a bonfire at your outdoor reception or a dance party, ensure the people responsible for these activities are ready before the big day.
If you are too busy to plan your wedding, you can hire a professional to take care of all the important things. If you want to oversee all the details, this is the ultimate checklist for a well-prepared day.
