A Wedding Planning Checklist Is Your First Step To Get Organized
A wedding planning checklist is your first step once you get engaged. Getting married is exciting and you may forget important details without a master wedding planning checklist to remind you.
After all, you would not go grocery shopping without a list so it’s wise to use a checklist for every element of your wedding. Include mini checklists within your master checklist for items such as stationery, apparel, music, gifts, flowers, legal paperwork, photography and videos, location, wedding ceremony and reception decorations. Make sure you’ve met each other’s families and formally announced your engagement before you start planning your wedding.
Choose a wedding theme and select your stationery accordingly. Add stickers to your envelopes to reflect the theme, such as beach towels for a destination wedding or ornamental baroque monogrammed stickers for formal nuptials.
Select stunning jewelry and a headpiece for the bride. While it is easy to remember gowns, shoes and tuxedos, include these essential accessories on your wedding planning checklist to ensure you find the right jewelry and headpiece to match your dress before the big day.
Your wedding ceremony is even more special with themed accessories, such as a flower girl basket and ring pillow. Add to a traditional ceremony with a unity candle ceremony. A large, monogrammed taper is lit by smaller tapers to show the union of two into one. For blended families, a unity sand ceremony brings you all together. Everyone pours different colored sands into a large, decorative vase which becomes a keepsake for the happy couple. You can even memorialize a loved one at your wedding ceremony with a personalized memorial pillar candle. After you say “I do” your guests can celebrate by blowing champagne bubbles instead of throwing confetti, which many facilities do not allow.
Make sure to include a themed guest book, cake serving set, cake topper, bridal garter, place cards and favors at your wedding reception. All your ceremonies and photos are more memorable when you use keepsake wedding reception accessories. Your guests will always remember your special day by the place card holders and favors you give out.
If you’ve ever shopped without a grocery list, you know the results are less than perfect. Don’t take that chance with the biggest day of your life. Make sure your first step is creating a wedding planning checklist.
