THE WEDDING TO DO LIST After all the flush and frenzy of being engaged. It is time to make some important decisions. Find below a compiled a list of things to do to make that day memorable. Please add your comments, contributions and questions. 1. WORK OUT YOUR BUDGET: Determine how much you will need for your wedding. You can use a bottom up technique by attaching realistic prices to all your wedding expenses or a Top down technique by fixing an amount based on your financial ability. Another way is to ask someone who recently had their wedding or a wedding planner. 2. ASCERTAIN YOUR GUEST CAPACITY: At the early stages of planning, you should determine the number of guests you will be expecting at your wedding. You can do this by Making a head count or an approximate of guests you will be expecting at your wedding. 3. HIRE A PLANNER: Due to the complexity and stress of DIY weddings hiring the services of a wedding planner is necessary. A planner has relationships and insight about vendors. A planner saves you cost and the stress of planning your wedding yourself. A wedding planner has expertise in organising weddings so you'll be enjoying from a wealth experiences. 4. SECURE YOUR DATE AND VENUE: As early as it is possible secure your date at the venue you intend to use for your ceremony/ reception. 5. BOOK YOUR OFFICIATING MINISTER: As you begin planning your wedding pencil down and meet with the officiant who would be presiding over the ceremony. Many Minister have different rules and expectations from would be couples. Determine what they are and ensure you comply with them. You should also find out if they have been licensed to conduct weddings. 6. PURCHASE YOUR WEDDING DRESS AND ACCESSORIES: Your wedding dress has a voice. She would speak to you as soon as you see her. So allow enough time for shopping and fitting your dress. You should select a dress that suit your style and body. Like I said this dresses have a voice. You should also go shopping with an idea of what your dress would look like so you don't get carried away by any sales man/woman. You should also purchase accessories that fit your style. . . . . . . . . To be continued 1 Like |

7.PURCHASE YOUR BRIDES MAID DRESSES (GROOMS MEN SHIRTS) AND ACCESSORIES : Pick dresses that suits your bridal party. Ensure that you combine your wedding colors properly on the dresses and grooms men outfit. 8. MAKE RESERVATION FOR YOUR OUT OF TOWN GUEST: Make hotel reservations for your guest who are coming from places other than the state where your wedding will be conducted. You can pick three (3) hotels at different price range close to your ceremony and reception venues from which your guest can choose from. 9.PURCHASE AND SEND OUT INVITATION CARDS: Ensure you send out your wedding invitation cards not later than 3 weeks before the D day. Have your card carry your wedding colors. Vital information about your venues, dates, timing etc should be clearly stated on your cards. 10. PLAN YOUR HONEYMOON: Make all plans for your honey moon. Book flights, make hotel reservations, make visa arrangements, car pickup arrangement etc. 11. BOOK AND MEET WITH YOUR VENDOR: Source for reliable vendors (caterers, decorator, DJ, baker, stylist etc) to cater for your wedding. Make sure they come highly recommended too. If you are working with a wedding planner this shouldn't be difficult. Make appointments with your baker. Allow a long lead time for your baker. 12. RESEARCH FOR AND PURCHASE YOUR WEDDING BANDS: You can look up different designs online or from your wedding ring store . In purchasing your rings make sure you allow for long lead time for resizing and engraving your rings. . . . . . . . . . . .to be continued |

(13). OBTAIN YOUR MARRIAGE LICENSE: This is dependent on who would be conducting the wedding. Is he licensed or not? If your officiant is recognised and licensed you can skip this aspect. If he isn't then you should go to your Local Govt office to start the process. This should ideally take about three weeks if you are getting married in Nigeria. (14). PURCHASE SOUVENIRS, BRIDAL PARTY GIFTS AND FAVOURS: It is always good to pick up gifts that are unique but useful. you can assign someone else to handle this or go in the company of a trusted friend or family member. Your planner will also help here if you have one. (15). DELEGATE SMALL WEDDING DAY TASK: You should delegate small wedding day task like who keeps your personal effects. Who is responsible for the ring. Who should be in charge of the gifts you will receive and things like that. (16). MAKE TRANSPORT ARRANGEMENTS: you should make transport arrangements for you and your guests. Determine before hand who is going in what car. (17). ALWAYS CONFIRM AND RECONFIRM APPOINTMENTS, DATES, DETAILS ETC: You must always confirm and reconfirm with everyone involved in your wedding to avoid any unpleasant surprises. Your planner will make this burden a lot lighter if you have one. (18). REMEMBER TO SAY THANK YOU: At the end of your day remember to say thank you to everyone. You can send out post dated text messages to say thank you to family, friends and well wishers. You can also ask your planner to help you with this if you are working with one.

TOP SIX (6) WAYS TO REDUCE YOUR WEDDING BUDGET Congratulations you are now engaged. We know you are excited and can't wait to start planning for the big day. With each passing day however, the task of planning becomes overwhelming and your wedding budget seems to sky rocket.You are thinking you will end up broke or in debt even before the Wedding. There is really no need to panic, you can have a beautiful wedding ceremony that is within your budget. Here are our top six pointers to reducing your budget yet having a great wedding ceremony. 1. REDUCE YOUR GUEST LIST: More people imply more expenses on food, hall, drinks etc. It is a wedding ceremony and not a "wedding carnival". You really don’t need the whole “world” in attendance. 2. USE TIME AND DATE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE: Try wedding on any other day than Saturday. Fix the timing to your advantage. Try having your engagement and white wedding conducted on the same day. 3. GET A GOWN AT THE FRACTION OF THE REAL PRICE: You can explore other alternatives with your wedding gown. You can hire a wedding Gown, buy a less expensive but beautiful brides maid dress or do a ‘buy back’ with your bridal store. This way you get your dream dress at a fraction of the price. 4. USE AN E-INVITE: With an e-invite you totally eliminate/reduce the cost associated with using the regular printed invitation cards. The e-invite can be designed by you or a graphics designer. You can have your e-invite sent to your friends via BBM , face book, whatsapp etc. 5. USE ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS: Considering the size of your budget, It will be wise to buy/rent silk or artificial flowers. The artificial flowers are a lot cheaper than the fresh garden flowers. Some bridal stores and decorators give them out for hire too. When using artificial flowers request for those that come already arrange by a florist. 6. GET A WEDDING PLANNER: One advantage of using a planner is that it is the planner’s job to ensure you get the Wedding of your dreams at the lowest cost possible. We hope you found this useful, please leave a comment. |

TOP 10 THINGS MOST BRIDES FORGET Your wedding day is one day you do not want to forget the important things. Here is a complied collection of some things most brides forget on, before or after the "" day. We hope you find them useful and your day goes smoothly. 1. MAKING YOUR DAY AFTER PLANS: What will logistics be like after the wedding. Will you be going for you honey moon immediately after or your new/ old home? Will you be passing the night after at parents or a hotel? Whose car will you be going in? If you would be travelling immediately after, remember to pack up all essentials (passport if needed) weeks before the day. If you will be spending the night at a hotel ensure that all bookings are made before hand and that your night bags are packed and ready. You will need to make arrangements for car service too. 2. GRABBING SOMETHING TO EAT: Ensure you have something to eat the night before the wedding, the morning of the wedding and mid way into the celebration ( just before the reception begins). Have something to eat no matter how little, don’t get married on an empty stomach. Your Maid of honour can help you with this. Ensure you inform her before the “D “day. 3. SAYING THANK YOU. Remember to say thank you to all those who contributed to making your day memorable. Write out your thank you note as you design your invitation cards. You can send them as a text, a hand written note or as an email. You can post-date them so they get deliver from the day after the wedding 4. ASSIGNING A POINT PERSON. It is not easy to get through the wedding day responsibilitie s alone. Remember to assign a “point” man who can assist you by running minor tasks, preparing for emergencies, and ensuring that you remain well- fed, hydrated, and at ease. The point person may be a close friend, a brides maids or a relative. 5. PICKING SOMEONE TO TAKE YOUR THINGS HOME: Remember to choose a person to take your gift and any leftover food, booze or cake home. Choose someone you can trust and let them know about their responsibility. If you’re changing out of your gown before you head to your hotel room, you’ll need a person to take it home, you don’t want to leave it behind! Make sure there is a hanger and a garment bag on hand (the one your dress came with will do!) To be continued. . . 1 Like |
