Always keep various factors in mind like both the families should agree over the date, you will be able to find a venue and other vendor for the specific date. The best tip for fixing a wedding date, try to fix it during off season, so that you will be able to get the best deals within your budget.

Fix a budget: This is another important and decisive factor. You should always fix a budget before you start wedding planning and start booking vendors. This way you will be able to decide how much money you want to spend on what? Furthermore, divide the budget into three-four different categories like shopping, jewelry, venue booking, decoration, and gifts, etc.

Allocate responsibilities: Never assume that you can handle everything at your own and you don’t need anyone to help you in wedding arrangements. The best thing to reduce your stress and arrange everything perfectly allocate responsibilities between family members and those you think will be able to help you out in different things be it your relatives or friends.

Hire wedding planner: If you think that you are not able the handle everything at your own, then it is always better to hire a wedding planner. They can help you in almost everything related to wedding and wedding arrangements. They are the experts of the field and can provide you the best wedding arrangement solutions within your budget.

Plan your events: Before you start booking the venue for your wedding and other events, it is better to decide the total events pre wedding, wedding and post wedding. It will help you in understanding for how many days you need to book a venue or arrange other things. Are you going to conduct an engagement ceremony? Are you going to throw bachelor party? Do you need a separate venue or you will organize such events at home? Decide all such things before fixing the venue, so that you know all the events in advance and make arrangements accordingly.

Make a guest list: Make a guest list in advance before you start booking venue and other vendors. Are you going to invite 400 people or 200 people in your marriage party? Are you going to make it a grand affair by inviting 800 or more guests? Decide the number of guests because it will help in deciding the overall budget. It will also help in knowing that are you sticking to your fixed budget or you are exceeding your budget.

Book a venue: The sooner the better is just apt when it comes to booking your wedding venue. The early you start exploring a venue and book it, the better deal you will get. It will help in booking the desired venue and getting the best deal in terms of booking amount. In most of the cases, when you book venue just a month before your wedding day, you are supposed to pay the increased price and at times you settle down with some ordinary marriage venue because most of the venues are booked in advance. The best thing is you should book a marriage venue at least three to four months in advance.

Complete shopping before D day: Complete your wedding shopping at least a month or so before your wedding day. In most of the case, we have seen people rushing from one place to another even just a day before the wedding to shop something. To reduce your stress and relax, complete your shopping before the wedding day.

Book photographer: Don’t delay in booking the photographer for wedding reception and other wedding ceremonies. If you want to do a pre-wedding shoot, which is very much in trend and cover all your wedding events, it is better to book a photographer and videographer well in advance.  

Select card: To send invitation to guest on time it is always suggested to select a wedding invitation card in advance. A wedding invitation card is one of most important thing. It is not easy and simple to fix a card as most of the time you get confused because of multiple options available in the market. Besides, it is important to fix a card in advance because it takes time to complete the printing part. Most of the people like to deliver the card personally, therefore, it becomes more important to get it fixed well in advance.

Indian wedding planning

A wedding in the family is one of the biggest events in the family and requires a lot of planning and team work. You can’t handle each and everything on your own. You need help of family members, relatives and at times help of friends to avoid any glitches in the preparation. But, under pressure of preparation and planning we make some mistakes which we could easily avoid if we pay little attention to things. You are supposed to plan various things like shopping, gifts, printing of cards, booking wedding venue and finalizing the menu, etc. All these things require a lot of planning and coordination. In such a hectic situation, there are chances that you will forget something or skip something. We are here sharing some of the common mistakes most of us usually make while planning for wedding.

Not fixing a budget: The first thing you should do while you start planning for your wedding arrangements is fixing the budget. Fixing the overall budget and segmenting the budget is very important. It is important that you fix the budget for everything, be it for shopping, venue, gifts and any other thing. It will help you in getting the overall spending limit and estimating the things in advance. If you will not fix a budget in advance, there are high chances that you end up shedding more money than your actual budget in making all the arrangements.

Finalizing vendor on the basis of quotes: This is another mistake which one should avoid. Asking the price quotes from different vendors is a good move to begin with, but fixing someone on the basis of low quotes is not the right decision. You never want to face any negative comment in wedding planning. You always want everything to be the best for that day. Before finalizing any vendor, it is important to see their previous work. If the vendor has any website, then don’t forget to check the details and see the comments on it.

Not making the guest list properly: Always calculate the guests well. To plan everything well in advance it is important that you make a proper guest list and arrange everything accordingly. Making last minute changes in the list can affect all the arrangements. Make sure that you work upon 10% minus or plus guest list for the wedding day. Make all the arrangements accordingly and instruct your vendor and caterer to make the arrangements as per the list.

Taking too many opinions: It is good to take the second opinion if you are confused, but it is not a wise idea to discuss the same thing with everyone.  The more you discuss, the more you will get confused. Involve your close family members and friends in important decisions. It will help in making the right decision and perfect choices better.

Too high expectations: If you are keeping your expectation too high, it might be you will feel disappointed if you see even a little flaw in the arrangement. It is better to keep your expectations at ground level and get yourself involved in most of the planning part. Don’t expect that your decorator will make the replica of the stage or other things, which you saw in some movie or at some else’s wedding. Let him use his creativity at the best.

Not instructing vendor well: After hiring a wedding planner or vendor, we think that he/she will take care of everything. This is totally wrong. You are the right one who knows your requirements well. No one else could tell the vendor what you want or don’t want in your wedding venue or in food menu or something else. So, give proper instructions to the vendors to avoid any confusion in the expectation and delivery.
