Making sure everyone’s doing their job, creating checklists and suddenly rushing to a store to buy much
needed ice or seasonings are some of the things that any couple will face when looking into tying the knot. That is, if they are the one’s planning a wedding and doing the important things, like checking on the menu, by themselves and not by a professional. Yes, it might sound a bit stressful but if a good number of friends and family are willing to help, then planning a wedding to perfection will not be as hard to do.
So let’s say you’ve catered to the important stuff, like choosing what kind of wedding cake you want or selecting a motif to go for, then you might think that you’re done and over with the wedding preparations. But, like any perfectionist planner will tell you, nothing’s really finish unless you actually see them used and done with. So, can I ask you; how about the wedding favors or the accessories to any wedding, like the floral decorations or the place card holders? Are you through with those items or are you just starting to think about those right now? If you are, then you’ve come to the right place.
Below is your guide to what you might be missing out on or skipping out that are actually very important and crucial in any wedding.
- Having a checklist is the key to finishing all tasks at hand. Having a checklist also ensures that nothing is
left behind or forgotten. If possible, have another copy to be given to a friend or family member who would be more than willing to help out. A checklist would include the decorations like the candles, flowers and so on and so forth. Any wedding would never go through a disastrous phase if everything is put into order and constant checking is done. A couple may not be able to do these themselves, so it is really a good idea to have a trusted family member or friend to do this job, especially when the wedding is not far off.
- After making sure that you have a checklist and everything that is needed down to the last table napkin is put in the checklist, then go over the items once again. It never hurts anybody to be really prepared.
- Try to sit down and imagine yourself in the wedding ceremony or reception itself. If you are in the guest’s position, try to imagine the things that you’ll need. This includes the simple stuff like an extra candle and matches or a more
comfortable chair. So, sit back and try to relax a bit. The most random but necessary stuff like these might suddenly pop in your mind.
- On the wedding day, making another checklist, this time for making sure that everything is in place, is recommended. Make sure that every last bit of candle, accessories, decorations and things like your specially made silver place card holders are in their proper places. It wouldn’t do for you to have a place card wandering in a different table.
For now, thinking of the most itty bitty stuff might not seem like such a great thing. It would take a lot of your time and efforts especially if you’re planning for a medium scale or big wedding. But once you get the hang of it, you’ll surely breeze your way through the wedding preparations and down the wedding aisle before you can even say “cheese”. So if you feel like a bit in over your head with the preparations and all that, it’s important to give yourself a break and let someone else – like your kind hearted but bossy mother – do the job for you.
