Was one of your gifts this holiday season a small wrapped box enclosed with an engagement ring? The blessing of an engagement truly brings excitement for the new year! Informing all your family and friends is only the beginning. After a few days your holiday and nuptial celebrating starts to subside- and the overwhelming amount of planning and things to do starts to add up.
When preparing for your wedding day, dozens of ideas and details and venues come to mind. Our site, www.idoido.org is a great place to start. We limit the number of vendors in our association – and screen our vendors before they join.
One of the first things is to set the wedding date. Choosing your church and reception hall are usually among the first things booked for a wedding. Your other wedding vendors will generally want to know if they are available for your date- before you get too far in the booking process.
The next thing you need to take into account is the amount of people you plan to invite and amount of money you plan to spend for your big day. The expense for invitations, wedding dress and tuxedo, photography, catering, transportation, music, honeymoon, etc. need to all be assessed. Getting an idea or ballpark of reasonable costs will help save you and your spouse future finances.
If you are looking to trim costs- the best thing to do is to take a second look at your guest list. The fewer people you invite...
- The fewer invitations you have to send
- The fewer meals you need to order
- The fewer tables you need to decorate, etc…
