Here’s a checklist of everything to consider before your wedding day!
Wedding Budget
Firstly and most importantly is to set a budget. While the average wedding costs $30,000 in the United States, this number can vary widely depending on where you live and what type of wedding you’re having. If your parents are paying for most of the expenses, this may not be as much of an issue. However, if they don’t have a lot of cash lying around and it’s up to the two of you to foot the bill yourselves (or with help from family members). Both parties must agree on how much they want/can spend.
Venue
The venue is the most important aspect of your wedding. It’s where you’ll say “I do” and celebrate with your closest friends and family. So, it’s essential to ensure that the venue fits your style and budget. Venues can vary in size, shape, and price point, but there are a few things to look for when deciding on a place.
- Is there enough space for everyone?
- Are there enough restrooms?
- What special amenities will be provided (bar/food service)?
- Do they have an event coordinator who can help plan the day-of details?
Date
Choosing the right date for your wedding is an important decision. It’s not just about when you want to get married but also about what works best for everyone involved—choosing a date that is too soon or too far ahead could cause problems with guests who can’t make it.
It also affects other costs associated with planning your weddings, such as venue availability and travel costs for out-of-towners or international guests who may need visas to enter the country. Keep things simple by choosing an appropriate date.
Wedding Rings
When it comes to weddings, you need to make sure everything is perfect. Choosing rings for your wedding day is another of the many, many things that need to be done before you tie the knot. You want it to reflect your personality, and it should be made of material that will suit your partner’s style. If you’re on a budget, there are still ways to incorporate the element of personalization while staying within those confines.
You should remember that wedding rings don’t have to cost thousands of dollars. As long as they have meaning for both partners during their journey together, they can be beautiful pieces with zero monetary value or high dollar signs attached.
Food
To ensure that your guests remain satisfied throughout your celebration, it’s important to consider food options early on. Whether you choose a buffet or sit-down meal, you want your guests to be full of energy and happiness when they leave. In addition, food should be served on time. Not too early, but not late. The food should also be plentiful so that everyone has room left over for dessert after dinner. Finally, ensure you include a bunch of vegetarian options in your menu, your veggie friends will love you for it.
Music
Music can be a crucial part of the wedding experience. Whether it’s live music by a band or DJ, or a playlist you make yourself, you want to create the right atmosphere for your guests. If you plan on having live music at your wedding, ensure they know how many people will be there so they can prepare accordingly. Also, consider what genres of music are appropriate for the event. For example, if you’re hosting a formal affair where everyone is dressed up in their finest attire, then classical piano or heavy metal may not be an ideal choice.
Guests
Ensure that you invite the right people to your celebration. Sometimes this means limiting the guest list. If you’re only inviting a select few members of your family or close friends, make sure they are supportive and will be there for you on your big day! You want people who will celebrate with you in good times, so don’t feel bad about cutting out some toxic relationships from the guest list.
