STEP 1: FINALIZE THE GUEST LIST<\/p>\n
You booked your venue, so you have an approximate number of guests. It\u2019s never too early to start gathering information to send your invites (First Name, Last Name, Mailing Address).<\/p>\n
STEP 2: SET YOUR BUDGET<\/p>\n
Figure out how much your reception will cost you based on your number of guests, then start budgeting for the rest, including:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Ceremony venue
\n\u2022 Bride\u2019s attire (dress, jewelry, shoes, alterations)
\n\u2022 Groom\u2019s attire (suit, shoes)
\n\u2022 Beauty appointments
\n\u2022 Wedding bands
\n\u2022 Flowers
\n\u2022 Decor and rentals
\n\u2022 Stationary (save-the-dates, invitations, menu cards, seating chart, etc)
\n\u2022 Entertainment (DJ, band, MC, other)
\n\u2022 Cake
\n\u2022 Transportation
\n\u2022 Photographer and videographer
\n\u2022 Day-Of Coordinator or Planner
\n\u2022 Gifts (bridal party, parents, guests)
\n\u2022 Honeymoon<\/p>\n
STEP 3: START HIRING YOUR VENDORS!<\/p>\n
Shop around, but don\u2019t over-shop, it\u2019ll simply make the process overwhelming. Once you get a good feeling for the vendor, and the price is right with your budget, book! And don\u2019t second-guess yourself, it\u2019ll be a long year!<\/p>\n
YOU SHOULD ALSO BE THINKING ABOUT\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2022 Engagement Party
\nThe engagement party should fall within 6 months of the proposal or at least one year before the wedding date \u2013 the excitement is still very much there, but the stress of the wedding planning has not yet begun.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Registry
\nMake it easy for your friends and family to choose perfect gifts by setting up a wedding registry! Opt for a traditional registry at a retail store, to stock your new home with everything from kitchen gear, to linens, to outdoor furniture, and everything in between! Or, opt for the newest trend, a honeyfund registry, to help plan the honeymoon of your dreams!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-22","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupemadison.com\/azusq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupemadison.com\/azusq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupemadison.com\/azusq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupemadison.com\/azusq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupemadison.com\/azusq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/groupemadison.com\/azusq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupemadison.com\/azusq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
