Today’s Planning Etiquette

 

With so many different resources out there, I would say wedding planning might have become a little more complicated than 1955. From internet sites, to blogs, to print media, and family members, everyone has advice on planning your wedding.

Re-focus, and remember that the special day is between you and your fiance. List out what the both of you desire for your day and keep true to those desires, if you are time restricted or inexperienced, hire a consultant, we do more than logistics, we can be your creative partner with a wealth of ideas, we can help negotiate contracts and come up with a realistic budget, we do all the vendor legwork for you, and all you have to do is show up for the appointments and tastings.

Once you have an idea of budget, sit down with all the people contributing and discuss how much each can contribute, or what each couple/person wants to contribute, again stay true to your wishes and what is most important for you and your fiance, also take into consideration the suggestions of the other people paying, but ultimately money given shouldn't have any strings attached so the final decision is yours.

Budget is really the determining factor in what is appropriate and what you can afford to have at your wedding, there are so many options out there, the planning world is your oyster, have fun and enjoy it, it really does go by so fast!
