Getting engaged and planning a wedding is the most exciting time of your life, and it’s also one of the busiest. One of the best things you can do for yourself during this time in your life is to develop a wedding planning checklist. This can include, but isn’t limited to, things like researching venues, booking reception locations, and multiple other tasks. Don’t worry; I’ve got your back! As a professional who has planned numerous weddings, I wanted to offer my advice to help you with your planning. Below is a list of tasks to prioritize for your big day!
- Budget
- Season and Date
- Venue, including catering
- Theme and Style
- Vendors include stationery, designers, photographers, videographers, florists, DJs, cake designers, etc.
- Attire
- Wedding Party
- Officiant and premarital Counseling
- Guest list
- Wedding-related events like bridal showers or wedding showers, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and post-wedding brunch
The shortcut to all of this (so you can forget this checklist entirely): Wedding Planner— Make it easier on yourself, and let me help you create your dream wedding.
If you had to sum up all the information presented here in one sentence, it would be this: At the top of your list should be the topic of the marriage itself: the love that unites the two and the covenant that honors God. Every couple is unique, and there can never be a one-size-fits-all method to wedding planning. However, keeping the items on this list in mind will help you plan your big day with maximum efficiency. Have fun!
Sealed with a Covenant
