What To Focus On As You Plan Your Wedding

Getting married is a life-changing event and a day when you can celebrate the love you have for your fiancé in front of your closest family and friends. You may view it as one of the most important milestones of your life, so there’s a lot of pressure to ensure all goes smoothly. However, if you’re not the planning type or don’t enjoy this kind of project, then you may want to consider hiring a wedding planner to help keep you on track.
Here's some key things you'll have to plan for.

Getting Invitations Out Early

As a bride, you’re going to want your guests and loved ones to be able to attend your wedding. Therefore, you must work hard to get your invitations and the details of the wedding events out early. One idea is to send out a photo save the date magnet tat guests can stick on their fridge. It’s a nice personal touch and a constant reminder for potential guests to follow up with their RSVP. Include a wedding website on your announcement so that guests can hop online and keep track of all the details as they become available.

Self Care

Wedding planning is a stressful undertaking, no matter how you look at it. There will be good days and bad days, and you may encounter people around you who will add to your stress. So focus on taking care of yourself as you plan your wedding so you can remain well and in good spirits. You want to make sure you stay healthy and have a lot of natural energy to get you through all stages of bringing your event together. Set aside time for self-care activities and take breaks from wedding planning regularly to do what you love, like going for a hike or out to dinner with your girlfriends.

The Dress

Shopping for your wedding dress is going to be an experience you remember forever. Concentrate on choosing a gown that you feel comfortable and confident in, and that will make you glow. If you want some help picking it out then, set up a time for you, your bridesmaids, and mother to go out and make it an event. Make sure that the dress you select not only fits your personality and style but is one that puts a smile on your face. Remember it doesn't have to cost thousands of dollars. These days designers are making very beautiful gowns for just a couple of hundred bucks! To get inspiration, check out magazines, Pinterest boards, and blogs.

Hiring the Right Photographer

Another crucial aspect of your wedding day are the photos. You'll want to invest into hiring the right photographer for your event. Your pictures are going to be a memory you hang onto for a lifetime, so you want them to be well done. Meet with multiple photographers, read reviews, and ask friends and family members for recommendations. Then interview your final contenders, and ask for their portfolio for samples of their work.

The Music & Entertainment

The music and entertainment will be a significant reason people walk away from your event, smiling. Focus on picking out a form of entertainment that you believe will go over well and get guests on the dance floor. You have options such as hiring a live band or a DJ; so talk it over with your future spouse to make sure you’re on the same page. These days, more people are adding interactive activities for guests, like a photo booth.

Personalized Details

While weddings all follow a general schedule and outline, they don’t all have to be the same. You can focus on personalizing some of the details as you plan your wedding to make it more unique. For example, at the reception, you can have a signature cocktail that’s meaningful to you and your fiancé. Picking out a dress that fits your style and body shape well will also be a way for you to stand out and make your day special. You might also want to consider writing your own vows as a way to make your ceremony more unique and one-of-a-kind.

Choosing Your Bridesmaids

Selecting the right bridesmaids to have by your side can be a very challenging task, and you'll want to select individuals who you know are happy for your new life plan. You can have one or 12. It's up to the type of wedding you are planning. Whomever you choose, it can be fun to ask them to share your special day. So come up with a fun and creative way to ask your bridesmaids to make it a more momentous occasion for all of you.

Registering for Gifts

You’re also going to want to take the time to register for gifts as you plan your wedding. Choose stores that you enjoy shopping at and believe will have what you need and want the most. It can be an overwhelming process, so start brainstorming early and discuss what items you may want with your future spouse. If you don’t register soon enough or don’t pick enough items out, then you risk receiving gifts from guests you may not have any use for. Also, think about what gifts you want to present to your wedding party and significant other while you’re out shopping.

Booking Your Officiate, Venue & Accommodations

You must hash out some of the most pertinent details in advance if you want your wedding day to be perfect. Think about if you want to get married in a church or outside and then call and book an officiate as early as possible, so that you can make sure you get the person you want to lead your wedding.
Next, choose a venue that you know will make your day even more special. Be sure to visit multiple options and compare the pros and cons before signing any contracts.
You'll also want to consider any out of town guests and whether or not they will need a place to stay during your wedding festivities. So look around and book affordable, but quality accommodations that are near your wedding day events. You may also want to provide transportation for your wedding party and guests who may need a ride back to the hotel after the reception.

Staying Calm & Enjoying the Day

If there’s one element you focus on the most as you plan your wedding, it’s to stay calm and enjoy the day. It’s going to go by fast, and you want to make sure that you’re present mentally as your wedding day unfolds. Accept that there may be challenges or mistakes that occur, but you can’t let these roadblocks keep you from enjoying yourself and celebrating your love as a couple. Have a few stress management techniques prepared so that you can implement them if you find yourself feeling anxious and unsettled. And prepare some of your bridesmaids to be there to help you negotiate the obstacles and stressors, so you can walk away feeling like it was truly the best day of your life.
