In my experience, I often hear the wdding party say, I will simply make certain everything goes according to plan. But what is your plan? Have you thought it through?

Here is a step-by-step plan to assist you on your way.

SETTING A DATE FOR YOUR WEDDING

One of the most important details of the wedding that a couple has to decide on is the actual date of the wedding. This is commonly addressed by couples at first.

So, consider this.

The availability of the venue where the wedding will take place. Availability of friends and family on the assigned date.

Various venues where weddings are held offer discount rates on days when traditionally, weddings are not held. In addition, the time the wedding takes place also becomes a factor in the budget. For instance, mornings and afternoon receptions are commonly less expensive that receptions held at night.

Once you have decided on a time, you can now decide on a venue for the wedding. Some places offer discount rates, depending on the time of year. Just after the holidays, is a good time to hold a wedding in many cases... if you are considering the expense. Ask about 'peak time', and 'off peak time'. You maybe able to negotiate a better rate.

WHAT IS THE SIZE OF YOUR WEDDING

For couples who are about to get hitched, it is important to talk about the size of wedding they both have in mind. The dream wedding of one person might not be that of the other. So it is necessary for couples to talk about details concerning the arrangement of the wedding, Consider issues such as the location of the venue/reception, the number of people who get invited to the wedding reception, and the choice of entertainment.

It is important to reach an agreement with all (at at least most) of the guests as well as the lucky couple.

List and count the entourage. Do you want to keep the wedding an intimate affair, in which case the bride and groom will only invite their family and friends; or maybe, they'd want to make this a larger affair. In general terms, the bride and groom get to invite the their close friends, long lost relatives, high school buddies, etc., in addition to their friends and family.

When making the guest list, think about the space capacity of your chosen venue.

Hire a professional photographer to capture this momentous occasion. Sure your friends can take good pictures, and most of them own a camcorder. But for this special occasion, you will want something special, lasting, and visually presentable. So you will have something to remember this occasion by. This way you could also share them with your friends and family.

Don't forget the cake!

It's best to have a tasting first, before settling on a cake. Invite your family and friends, for the cake tasting. This way, this task becomes fun for everybody!

Order wedding invitations.

If you want to get creative, you can always print your own invites. This way, you can tailor them, and add a more personal feel to the invitation.

Do not forget to start searching for a wedding gown several weeks ahead of the wedding. This way, the bride has plenty of time to make a selection. Also, the groom should make arrangements to rent or buy a tuxedo, preferably in advance also. Just in case you encounter some problem with the fitting, you'll have some time to make other preparations.

Couples who do not have adequate time on their hands, or simply find the preparations that go into planning a wedding too overwhelming, can always just hire a wedding planner! This way, the whole thing gets organized and coordinated for them.

And don't forget the Wedding Favors.

Loads of couples choose to give personalized wedding favors to their guests. Personalized wedding favors are a good idea because they often include the names of the couple as well as the wedding date. This helps to make certain that the guests will remember where they received the favor.

A little advanced planning can make your special day pressure free and one to remember with happy thoughts.
