Newly Engaged/Soon-to-be Engaged?

[+King Tux Rentals]

There are many preparations that go into planning for a traditional wedding.

If you have a full time job, then you have pretty much only Saturday and Sunday (or two other days of the week, usually) to do your running around to the various vendors and suppliers.

 

If the wedding is in six months, that's 26 weeks, or 52 days of free time to get everything done - Assuming that you have two days a week to devote to planning.

 

Some people get experienced wedding planners to assist them. That helps ensure that important items don't fall between the cracks. When you interview the planner, make sure that

it's someone you like, personally. You'll be talking with this person several times a week for many weeks!

 

 

First on the agenda should be a complete discussion between the bride and groom of who is going to do what, budget constraints, key people to assist in the effort, possible

bridesmaids and groomsmen and color scheme. Decide who will be paying for what and make sure that everyone concerned is on the same page.

 

Likely, the bride has already made some notes about these things.

 

Prepare a timeline checklist for the things that need to be done and/or enlist the assistance of a wedding planner.

 

Consider, based on what you want your wedding to look like, some of the vendors that you'll need to see and the pricing for each one.

 

Venues - Where will the wedding and reception and rehearsal dinner be?

 

Flowers - Consider where you want to place floral arrangements and floral pieces for the wedding party

 

Bridal Gown/Bridesmaids dresses - They can come from different vendors, or the same one.

 

Tux Rentals - Typically, the bridesmaids' dresses are selected first, then the tuxes. Include everyone in tuxes who will be included in the wedding pictures. Use a company (like King Tux Rentals) that gives a free tux rental to the groom when there are at least five additional paid rentals). Don't forget the dads!

 

DJ./Band for the reception

 

Caterer for the rehearsal dinner

 

Photographer/Videographer for the weddding, reception and the rehearsal dinner

 

Musicians for the ceremony

 

Officiant or clergyman to perform the ceremony

 

Invitations/Thank You Notes

 

Bridal Registry places

 

Rings

 

Wedding Party members (get all contact information from them)

 

Honeymoon Reservations and travel plans

 

Guest Accomodations (if people are coming in from out of town)

 

Wedding license, honorarium/fee for officiant, schedule vacation days from work

 

Name change, insurance policies, bank accounts

 

 

These are just some of the things that have to be done for the wedding. Keep in mind that with each item, follow-up phone calls and vendor consultations will be necessary. If you're about to get married, congratulations! It's an exciting journey! With so much to do, the time to begin planning is now!
