Something Borrowed - Something Blue

Trying to keep all your wedding plans organized can give you the blues, and that is not the 'something blue' you want for your wedding. So, be our guest! We invite you to borrow our tips and explore all the wonderful options to make your wedding distinctively yours.

Start Wedding Plans Early

Although your wedding may be months down the road, the time to get organized is now. There are certain things you just must do before the wedding. Many of them are obvious: set a date, decide on a location, find a dress, rent a suit—but the best way to start is to make a list of those obvious things and then fill in the details. Wedding House Directory helps you with that. Use our categories as your checklist to make sure you don't miss a thing!

Speaking of details, you can choose some of them on our Before the Wedding page. For instance, the first thing you may want to do is announce your engagement. We suggest several ways to do it.

Budget Your Wedding

When you and your fiancé have a good list in hand, separate it into two task lists: what needs to be done and what needs to be purchased for your wedding.

Traditionally, the parents of the bride bore the cost of the wedding, but today it is common for the groom's parents to help with expenses, and you may chip in for some of the costs as well.

Now is a good time to present your list to your families and start gathering some support! Begin budgeting for your wedding by putting your heads together to decide on priorities and figure out how much you have to spend on your wedding. Then pencil in who is responsible to complete each task and/or make each purchase. For instance, will your wedding cake come from a bakery, or will a family member or a friend bake it for you?

Your Wedding Support Group

An essential part of any wedding is the wedding party. Line up bridesmaids and groomsmen early to be sure they put your date on their calendars. Parents and other wedding party members are excellent resources for great wedding ideas and will also help you keep your sense of humour from the planning stages right through the ceremony.

Of course, the easiest way to a beautiful and stress-free wedding is to call in the experts. Use the Wedding House Directory to find the perfect wedding planner for your wedding and be sure to check out our tips for Your Wedding Day.

KISS - Keep It Simple Sweetheart!

Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Starting early, prioritizing a list, and delegating responsibility will all help to keep wedding plans in perspective.

Listen to the ideas and suggestions of others, but stay true to what you want from your special day. If napkin rings are not important to you, omit them. Your guests will be too busy celebrating your marriage to care.

Remember too, that your wedding day is just the beginning of the lifetime of memories you and your intended will build together. You are already off to a good start using the wonderful resources here at Wedding House Directory.
