Finalize Guest List

Once you are engaged, what is next?

Sit down with your parents and fiance and create a complete guest list. It will give you an idea of what type of venue you need as when you go finalizing the venue everyone will ask about the guest count first. 

Additionally, it provides you with an idea of how much of a budget you need to set. You don't want to mess up at the last moment when all your guests can't fit in a ceremony room and you have to look for a new location. 

Find Out Any Blackout Date

Check out if your wedding date falls on any important event or festival …but why so ??

As it could affect traffic conditions and room availability for guests, potentially resulting in higher costs and limited options. Being aware of these factors allows you to plan accordingly, securing accommodations early and avoiding potential disruptions to your wedding day logistics.

Create A Separate Wedding Mail

Create a separate mail address so that it doesn’t mix with your work inbox and you can receive and send important updates to your guests and vendors.

Save all your wedding-related information there. Having a single platform for all wedding-related materials helps you quickly search for any invoices, contracts, and reminders and prevents anything from being lost.

Make Use Of Your Credit Card

Take advantage of the high cost of wedding planning including venue booking and shopping and you can use credit cards to earn reward points.

Wait, what?

Yes….

It will help you gain an advantage in something else like new home essentials or honeymoon package booking. Its a great way to ensure maximum benefits from your spending.

Hire A Reliable Team of Vendors

Choosing your vendor team can make or break your day. Yes, seriously 😳

So while choosing vendors make sure to select the expert and the best one that fits well with your budget and requirements. They can make the wedding planning process more fun and you can enjoy your day without a hitch. In the end, you should be confident in your choice to whom you are giving a big responsibility.

Trim Your Budget 

Are your expenses going out of your budget? 

The easiest way to handle this situation is to trim your wedding list. Remember, half of your expenses are going on dining with your guests. 

For example, if per person dinner costs you around 1500 rupees then cutting only 20 guests from your final list can save Rs.30,000.

Plan Your Meals

Feeding your vendors is also an additional cost that you need to consider. Its not essential that you are providing the same meal to the vendors that you’re providing to your wedding crew team. 

Choose a little expensive but also a quality meal for them that reflects your love and kindness for them. Make sure to create a list of how many vendors you need to feed including band roadies.

 

Manage Your Budget

Half of your budget should be for catering services or venue booking and then prioritize your other essentials accordingly. 

Pro-tip: It's important to note here that reserve about 5-10% of the budget for any surprise expense like purchasing umbrellas if there is sudden rain, printing more invites, needing to hire more vendors, etc.

Open Communication

You should be openly communicating with your vendor about what you want them to do. While hiring them, you should explore their capabilities and whether they can fulfill your unique requirements, whether it's serving late-night snacks or choosing to do a portrait session instead of the engagement one. 

The main point is that you need to have open communication with your vendor, who will inform you what they can and can’t do in your budget.

Decide on Colour And Pattern

Imagine vibrant colors and patterns around you.

Isn’t it giving you pleasure?

Add some luxurious patterns to your clothes, like velvet and silk; it adds a touch of sophistication. For an unforgettable touch to your wedding decor, ask your vendors to add flowers of different colors and textures. Don't forget to use lightning to enhance the beauty of your decor—it will be like toping over the pizza.
