Organizing a wedding is a mixture of excitement, frustration, and ruthless planning. Keep in mind, there are a few things that can be easily forgotten, in which can be rectified, and there are others that can cause endless problems, (hiring a planners or a day of, can avoid all these frustration). Here is a list of some key tips for a successful wedding, which might just escape your attention - and cause craziness if they do.- Always keep an updated wedding guest list, make sure you have several contact numbers for each person - like home AND work numbers - so that you can make quick, pain-free re-arrangements.
- Use your computer, try keeping all the wedding details on file so it can be quickly updated and printed off.
- Always get a proof (a sample print) of your wedding invitations from the stationer or printer before giving the go-ahead to have them printed up. Check through the proof very carefully to ensure there are no printing errors and that times and venues are correct. Have your fiance or maid of honor proof read for you as well.
- A map. We've have all been to many weddings to know that some churches or ceremony locations are impossible to find. A good map with well thought out and clear instructions is an absolute must to ensure that everyone arrives on time.
- Thank You cards. In the post wedding day rush, it may escape your mind to send these out. If you want them done in the same style as your invitations, they should be ordered at the same time.
- Again, if you do not have a planner to assist and handle all the details, always remember to double check details with your photographer. Once you have gone through the business of booking a photographer, ensure that you send them your requirements in writing and get a confirmation slip from them. Again, make sure the details are correct. DOUBLE CHECK.
- Don't forget your luggage. If you are going straight off on honeymoon then don't forget to pack your luggage properly. This takes thought and effort at the best of times, but when you are also getting married things can be overlooked. Double check those three essentials: passport, money, tickets!
Make sure that your hotel or venue has a suitable wedding cake stand (if needed) and cake knife available. Always bring your own. After all you wouldn't want to be photographed posing with a steak knife over the cake!- Before booking a reception at a hotel or restaurant, try the food for yourself. A nicely laid out menu does not guarantee good food and it's a good excuse for the bride and groom to go out for a few romantic meals before their big day.
- Parking. Almost as important as the quality of the food at your reception venue is the availability of parking, especially if the reception is held a long distance from the ceremony. Don't forget to check the car parking facilities before you book and make sure that, at the time of your reception, the car park won't be full of cars attending another event. Valet Parking is a MUST. you don't want to walk from your car to the entrance in a raining day.
