Discussing how much to set the budget for this big celebration should be figured out right away. It is important to know what you are willing to spend so there is a clear pathway to walk. It is very easy to get carried away among all the beautiful and sentimental things that can be ordered. Knowing what you can afford and really sticking to your budget will help eliminate much of the stress that couples face during this time.
Choosing a location is very important if you are planning on having your family and friends present. Consider where everyone is coming from. As much as your loved ones want to be present, it can be an issue if the venue is so far away that it is too expensive or inconvenient for most people to travel to. Also consideration for the their expense should be taken into account as they may have to pay for a hotel in order to make it to the event.
Some people choose to have a destination wedding. This is when perhaps a couple wants to get married in Hawaii or Paris or some far away area like this. If this is what is desired, then all arrangements should be made with a company that specializes in that area.
Some locations will have an all inclusive policy, which simply means that you will be hiring them to arrange everything from the cake to the decorations. When choosing your location, be clear with the coordinator of what or if they allow any outside venues to participate.
If you would rather have more control over the hiring process, then choosing to do all the arrangements on your own would probably be a better idea. This way, payment will have to go out to many businesses in order to provide the items wanted but there are more choices in the matter. Payment would be made to only the venue if you choose an all inclusive package.
It is so easy to let the romance of the moment take over and overspend. Discuss what you both want and what you would like but can perhaps eliminate or cut back on if needed. Preparing two lists, one that states what is absolutely needed and one that can be flexible will keep everything clear and in proper prospective when everything looks perfect and the cost is no object.
When it is all but over, and the big day is upon you, enjoy the moment. This is what all the work and stress was about. Getting to this point, to this moment. Let the day shine for the two of you and let every moment be one that you treasure and keep in your heart. Years from now, this will be a day that will be looked back at with love and joy and great pride.
