An Hour By Hour Planning Guide For The Wedding Day
If you have just become engaged, you will need to start planning your wedding right away. You may be surprised
how far in advance venues and vendors must be booked in advance of your wedding date. The following tips will
outline the work ahead for you to plan out the perfect wedding.
Premarital Counseling Tip
Regardless of whether you are going into a wedding with issues or have the perfect relationship, seek out
premarital counseling. Counseling can help increase the chance of having a successful marriage and will teach you a
lot of tips that you can put into practice before, during, and after your wedding.
Picking Bridesmaids for the Ceremony
Pick bridesmaids that can be buddies for the children in the ceremony. Give them a care package with healthy
treats, water, books, paper and crayons. All this can be used as a distraction when traveling between venues, or
while waiting for pictures to be taken. Doing this will keep the children occupied, while still having them
accessible.
Pay Attention to the Groom's Role
Even though many pre-wedding traditions are focused around the bride, be sure to include some for the groom. He
plays a pretty important part to the day and you are going to want to have some photos done of the time that he and
his groomsmen get ready for the big day.
What Must the Bride Do?
Brides should learn to make decisions right along with the groom during the planning of the wedding. This will
give you great practice as a couple learning to make decisions together. Even if the groom (or bride) says they do
not want to help plan, ask for their opinions anyhow. You will be glad you did.
Weddings can be stressful events, especially if you have not done the proper amount of research and
planning. Make your life easier by taking advice from people who have been there. It's nice to avoid mistakes that
others in your shoes have made. You will cut down on your financial burden, as well as your stress.
