Preparing for a wedding, especially for a large number of guests, is a very laborious process. And sometimes it's easier to hire professionals from a holiday agency and put these worries on their shoulders. But you can do everything yourself, if some kind of exclusive extensive program is not expected.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, estimate the number of guests you want to see at the wedding. The whole further organization depends on whether it will be twenty, fifty or two hundred people, starting with the choice of the venue, ending with the rental of a car and a menu.
Step 2
Make an event plan and cost estimate. In a plan, write down the day of the wedding, starting in the morning until the last guest is sent home from the restaurant. In the estimate, include pre-holiday expenses: buying a dress, a groom's suit, rings, ordering and sending out invitations. And expenses directly related to the holiday: car rental, photo and video filming, restaurant, toastmaster, hall decoration, etc.
Step 3
After planning your day and making a rough estimate, start looking for contractors. It is best if all services will be provided by companies already verified by your friends or acquaintances. Then unpleasant surprises at the wedding can be avoided. The Internet and thematic forums on women's sites dedicated to preparing for the wedding can help here. There, the brides share the contacts of organizations that do their job flawlessly.
Step 4
If relatives decide to help you organize your wedding, be sure to supervise their work. And best of all, give the contacts of the contractor and tell in detail or even write down on a piece of paper what exactly is required. Explain to loved ones that this is your holiday and you already imagine what it should be. And all changes in the script must be discussed with you.
Step 5
Start preparing your wedding two to three months before the event. This will give you the opportunity to make changes to the plan, adjust it, adapt it to the circumstances. After all, it may turn out that your favorite restaurant is closed for renovation, and all the nearest ones have already been rented. Or a limousine of the right color is ordered three weeks in advance. Save yourself the surprises and take care of everything in advance.
