Set up a wedding-only email
By creating an email account, solely for wedding planning, you can keep all things fun & frilly separate from those super important projects at work. It also allows you, your fiancé, and any other decision makers to have one shared source of communication for vendors + wedding related tasks.
Discuss What’s important to you
Throughout the planning process, you and your fiancé will be greeted with tons of ideas & opinions. Some you’ll take to heart and others you’ll simply hear and allow yourself to ignore. The latter, however, can get tricky depending on who’s making the suggestion. Being on the same page as future newlyweds and focusing on what's most important to YOU will allow you to make decisions easier & quicker.
Extravagant Bash or Intimate Affair
Whatever you decide will be a key component when it comes to discussing more important items like overall budget, budget allocation, venue parameters, and oodles of other to-do’s.
Hire a wedding planner
Much like you're a full-time, valued professional in your career, a great planner is an invaluable resource and critical piece of the planning puzzle. Choose someone you're comfortable with and who aligns with your style. We'll be working together, closely, for an extended period of time. It's important that we jive on a personal level and trust one another.
I promise, by thinking and talking about the items above, you’ll jump start your planning process and everyone involved, including you, will appreciate your thoughtful legwork.
Until next time,
Cheers!
