Get a Grip on the Guest List:<\/strong> One of the first and most helpful things you and your fiance can do to start planning is to get a grip on the approximate number of guests you\u2019re inviting.  The number of guests will play a huge role in your budgeting, choice of venue, and meal selection.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Don\u2019t be Afraid to Name Your Terms:<\/strong> Almost anything is negotiable with vendors. It\u2019s perfectly acceptable (and smart) to say \u201cI would really love to have you, but my budget doesn\u2019t allow for this. Is there any way we can make this work?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Step by Step:<\/strong> Put together a wedding planning schedule and get things done one-by-one in logical order so you don\u2019t take on too much too soon.  Don\u2019t design your cake before you\u2019ve chosen your flowers, don\u2019t hire vendors before you\u2019ve confirmed your date, etc. <\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Keep a Paper Trail:<\/strong> Make sure you get any nonstandard charges to your agreement in writing or send the vendor a confirmation email.  Don\u2019t take anyone on their word alone-by the time the wedding rolls around they might not be working for the company anymore. <\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Make a Binder:<\/strong> In a three-ring binder, compile all your correspondences with vendors, notes you make during meetings, and photos or magazine ads you want vendors to see.  You can even set up a special email account dedicated to your wedding.  <\/p>\n<p><P Align=\"Center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/static.bridalpartytees.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Wedding-Tips.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.bridalpartytees.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Wedding-Tips.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Wedding Tips\" width=\"250\" height=\"188\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2642\" \/><\/a><\/P><\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Set the Style:<\/strong> The style of a wedding sets the tone for the remainder of the planning and influences the budget, the guest list and all events involved. The merging of differing but coordinating images and items will influence events such as the rehearsal dinner, reception and even showers and bachelor\/bachelorette parties.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Compromise:<\/strong> Remember that while your wedding is your special day, it\u2019s also your fiance\u2019s special day! Try to do as much of the planning together as possible.  This way you\u2019re both happy (and aware) of the decisions that are being made and it will help you stick to a budget!<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Have a Stress Reliever:<\/strong> While planning a wedding can be one of the most fun things you\u2019ll ever do, it can also be very stressful, and even cause you and your fiance to fight over petty things.  Find an activity that calms you down and relieves stress like going on a bike ride, getting a massage, or hitting the gym.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Don\u2019t be Afraid to Ask for Help:<\/strong> It\u2019s not a sign of weakness or incompetence to ask for help when planning your wedding.  It can be a huge, daunting task so there is no shame in asking for a little help! Look into hiring a consultant, attend bridal shows, read bridal blogs, or seek help from a close friend you know who enjoys event planning.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Have Fun:<\/strong> Remember to personalize your wedding! This is all about you! So have fun, laugh, be humble, and enjoy planning this once-in-a-lifetime<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Below we have listed the top 10 most helpful wedding planning tips to get you started on your wedding preparations!
