Wedding Planning Explained

[cincopa AcMAVvKLC7ql]

Planning, planing, planning…..things can get crazy in the process.  How do you keep from going crazy?  You have a tight budget and you cannot afford to hire a planner, so what do you do?  You enlist volunteers!  This does mean you become a tyrant.  I am sure you have plenty of people that love you.. at least I hope you do.  I am sure you do.  Keep it simple.  I mean really keep it simple.  Your bridal party for example the more you have the crazier and costlier it becomes.  So what is wrong with only having three bridesmaids???  Nothing!  You cannot have every childhood friend in your wedding!  Keep it simple.  Your guest list.  You cannot invite everyone to your wedding.  I know she was your sorority sister but really you have to draw the line somewhere.  Keep it simple!  I hear girls all the time say, “I just  hate the chairs at my reception and I hate white linens my venue provides.”  OK, well learn to use what you have and take advantage of what comes in your package.  So you don’t want white tablecloths add colored napkins for a pop of quick affordable color.  Keep it simple.  Money is tight so don’t hire the limo.  Remember the good old days when they decorated cars and drove to the reception beeping their horns?  I remember that, it was fun!  Just keep it simple.  The more you do the more you have to clean at the end of the night!  Keep it simple really do you want to be up until 2 am tearing down a reception room?

Three words…

KEEP IT SIMPLE!

You need a work force for free!  Here is a dandy list for you to copy and print off.  Ask your family for help and assign those that you trust a few duties.  Don’t overload just one person.  If you keep a list of who is doing what and are nice you will be surprised at how much smoother things will run.  So you can’t afford a planner, that’s OK.  You have family and friends and if you can’t use your family and friends who can you use!  That is what having family and friends is all about.
