Weddings are nothing if not complicated matters.
Unless you and your betrothed decide to get married
with the minimum of two witnesses and you don’t
announce the event until afterwards, that is. Anything
else requires precise planning from months in advance
to ensure that everything is remembered and it
all goes without a hitch.
There are outfits to choose and
organise. You need to think about the flowers you
want to have. How many people will be attending
the wedding
venue and reception? Will they
both be held at the same venue, or will you have
the wedding in a church or registry office and
hold the reception elsewhere?
And what about the wedding breakfast? Will you
have something formal or more relaxed, like a barbecue
perhaps? Oh, and don’t forget you need to
consider smaller details such as wedding favours
to thank your guests, and table decorations of
some kind as well.
As you can see, there is a lot to think about
when planning your wedding. So how can you make
sure you have remembered everything? The last thing
you want is to realise you have forgotten something
crucial with only days left to go until the big
day itself.
The best bet is to make a list of all the things
you need to do. Grab a big notepad for this – you
will need plenty of room to jot down notes for
each item. You might have very specific ideas right
from the start about the wedding favours you like,
while the flowers might draw a complete blank from
you to start with. A big notepad will allow you
to write down all the ideas you have without forgetting
anything, and it will also make it clear which
areas need more work.
Of course you also need to make sure you do all
this several months in advance. The more notice
you can give yourself when compiling this list
the better. It greatly reduces any possibility
of last minute panics when you realise you have
forgotten something essential.
Get someone else to help you with this list as
well. Ideally if you can get someone who is already
married to look over the list for you, they should
be able to more easily spot whether you have inadvertently
missed anything off or not. The average wedding
requires so much in the way of planning, you would
be surprised how easy it is to miss something vital
off that list!
So when you start to complete
each task, cross it off the list. Only do so
when you are sure it has been done completely
though. That way you will be able to focus on
everything else, safe in the knowledge that your
tasks are gradually being completed successfully.
Once again remember that you can get help if need
be to complete each task – but think twice
before letting anyone else take over the list altogether.
This is your wedding and you should make sure that
everything is completed to your own satisfaction.
