11) Personalize:
Special touches are always memorable. The amount of money you spend is really less important than the thought and care that go into your choice of details. That is why couple should be specific about the theme, shape and colour they want for their wedding.
12) Look for Hidden Treasures:
Something simple and inexpensive may make a surprisingly eye-catching touch or inspire a theme. Therefore its not the amount of money you spent on your wedding day for the decoration, planning, security etc that matters but been concise, simple and classy will make a beautiful wedding. This can be achieved also by hiring a qualified event planner and a decorator. Maybeth Decors & Events is your one-stop event and decoration boutique.
13) Watch Your Due Dates:
Carefully watch cut-off and final-payment due dates, and schedule RSVP returns for at least two weeks prior to those dates. That way you will have an accurate head count and can adjust those numbers before a payment is due.
14) Take Steps to Be Comfortable:
I know this may sound trivial, but it’s the most overlooked piece of advice that I give to my clients. Why do people think they can be on their feet for six to eight hours in a pair of shoes they’ve never worn and not end up with painful blisters? It not only makes you uncomfortable, but it detracts from any formal affair when you are barefoot as soon as the first dances are over. Get extra pair of shoe aside should in case there is break in your wedding shoes.
15) Orchestrate:
Seven to ten days before the wedding, call your vendors to confirm details. Give everyone a timeline of the day. The biggest mistake is leaving any of this to chance. So you wont be surprised that you will call the caterer when you see everyone is complaining that food hasn't been brought and your caterer would say "is today your wedding" (LOL) that won't sound funny on that day.
16) Hire Help for the Big Day:
Even if you choose not to hire a wedding planner to handle the bulk of the wedding, then at least hire someone for the day of the wedding even if you’re a planner at heart and you’ve got things well under control. The best stress reliever is to have someone professional there, taking care of the things that can and do come up.
17) Take a Break:
If things get too tough, give yourself some time out. Walk away for a day, a week or even just go out with your partner. Trust me, your wedding planning will be there when you go back to it, and your relationship will be better off in the long run if you take care not to overload yourself and your partner.
18) Let the Honeymoon Wait (at Least for a Couple of Days).
We always suggest to our brides that, if at all possible, they should not leave for the honeymoon immediately. This serves a couple of purposes. One is that they can spend more time with close relatives and friends who have traveled to attend the wedding. The other reason is that it is good for the bride and groom to relax a little bit, decompress and savor the moment.
19) Manage Your Emotions:
There should be a side-effects warning when you take on the role of organizing the biggest event of your life. It’s easy to get sucked into the ‘bridezilla’ zone, where you start sweating bullets over the smallest things that normally you wouldn’t think twice about. Keep a check on your character, and think about the consequences of burning bridges, carrying grudges and thinking ill thoughts when things are not going as smoothly as you want them to.
20) Set a Budget and Stick to it:
Weddings can be very expensive and just like any other event; you may find yourself wanting to add additional items to your master list closer to the event date, which may not have been in your set budget. Make a budget and stick to it. If you think you may have “wish list” items that will pop up closer to the time of the wedding, add those items in with your set budget from the very beginning. Aim to never exceed the set amount you have budgeted for from day one. If you overspend on one item, then you must cut back from something else on your list. Be flexible with yourself, and prioritize the big spend items and must-have items first on your budget, knowing that those have to be paid for, as opposed to “wish list” items that can get cut at any time.
