Wedding Planning Ideas

Looking for wedding planning ideas, then you've come to the right place!

With so many variables going into the most important day of your life, you could use some extra wedding planning ideas, right? We feel your pain and have compiled a list of a few helpful wedding planning ideas to help you in the planning of your special day.

First off, tell everyone providing you services, exactly what your requirements are on your wedding planning ideas. Put everything in writing and make sure your vendors sign the agreement. Be sure to specify items you don't want as well (i.e., racy rap songs, too many posed photos, onion dip, whatever else you don't want).

Two or three days before the wedding, call all your vendors and verify your bookings. Have them read back to you the time, date, and location of the wedding as they have it noted as well as the services or items they'll be providing. That way, you'll know if they have the right information. Make sure they know how to get to the site. One of the best wedding planning ideas is to have good communication with vendors so send a reminder letter as well. Bring your list of phone numbers so someone can make a phone call if they don't show up.

Avoid asking friends or family to provide food, flowers, or official photography. It will create an awkward situation if you're not pleased with the results. It's easier to expect perfection from someone being paid rather than a family member!

Also, avoid having children under age three in the wedding party. If you do, let one of the attendants walk with the child or pair them with an older child. And secure fake rings to the ring pillow so they won't fall off. Have the Maid/Matron of Honor and Best Man carry the real ones.

Below are a list of resources we've compiled that will give you more tips and wedding planning ideas.
