Things to Have for A Good Wedding

Home | wedding trends | Things to Have for A Good Wedding

To unmarried folk and the better part of most of us, weddings are something we get to go to. We never have to worry about anything or at the very least prepare things, we just kind of show up.

However, for the happy couple. They have to prepare a day to remember for both themselves and those who attend.

Talk about pressure am I right?

Everyone wants a great wedding, it’ll be hard to find someone who doesn’t. An event that you only get to do once, hopefully, should definitely be something to remember and look back on fondly

That being said, here are some things that you should keep in mind when having your big day.

Keep in mind that this list is not in any particular order.

#Have a Wedding Budget and Live by it

Now we all know weddings don’t cost little. Well at least that’s what, we all assume because… Surprise! It’s true more so than not, weddings are a bit on the high side in terms of financial expenditure.

Look, nothing comes cheap, love in particular. If you thought bills were a hassle wait till you plan a wedding. The money just seems to keep piling on.

And yes, you need a wedding budget, not everyone is a millionaire. Thus we need to put on our “big boy” and “big girl” pants and make the dream work.

A wedding budget is pivotal in planning out your perfect day. All those dollars need to go somewhere, and not just anywhere. Remember that.

Also, you don’t want to be close to bankruptcy afterwards. Love and marriage is about sacrifices sure but, you don’t want to be on the streets because of it. That would just be a poor way to start out a marriage… You get it? Because I said “poor” and because you’ll be on the streets. Yeah you got it, not my best pun but I’m sticking to it.

#Set a Date

– Hey you… You wanna go on a date?
– What date? I barely know.
– A wedding date silly.
– Ahhh brilliant. But yes, I still don’t know you.

We’ve spoken about the best months to get married here at Plan My Wedding.

And if you haven’t read that blog then what are you doing with your life? I hope you take a long hard look at yourself as a person and reflect on why you’ve made that decision… I’m just kidding, it’s not that deep -don’t get me wrong, it still hurts but I’ll get over it. Thank you to those who have.

So the wedding date you set for yourself is a pick your poison type of situation. With all the seasons and weather that comes with the months, you can make yourself a hefty list of potential dates.

Oh, and whilst we’re on the topic of lists.

#Have a List

Ah yes, a list. I know, I know… Should have brought this up earlier. But better late than never as many, many people would say.

I don’t know about the rest of you but, I need lists to get things done, especially if it’s something I’m planning for in the near future.

That being said, a wedding list will go along way. You can add the type of things you wish to see on the day and of course, have it so that your budget makes sense.

#Invitations

Now look, it’s one thing to get married and a whole other thing to loer people know about it.

I mean sure there’s social media and all that but the intimacy of an actual invitation letter to you is always appreciated.

I don’t know about you guys but, one time I didn’t get an invitation from a close friend at school but he gave everyone an invitation but me (to his birthday by the way). He later told me that I was basically “family” and was invited automatically. Still would’ve preferred an invite though. I mean we’re not 10 years old anymore but, I made my point clear at an early age. Many years later I still feel the same.

Well done invites are a great way to get people to commit to coming to your event and, gives them a moment of both you and your significant other.

#The Venue

Who? What? But most importantly WHERE.

We’ve established who’s getting married but how about where?

Look, not everyone is too fussy about their venue. Some just do it at the local church or a hotel lobby. But that’s not what we all want is it?

Do we believe in magic? Not really, no, but there’s no denying the magic that comes with a great wedding venue.
Pictures are a big thing at weddings, capturing a moment in time forever that will probably outlast the couple.

I mean I still get to see my great grandparents and grandparents wedding photos. Those suckers go a while.

So with the possibility of your great-grandchildren going through your wedding photos in mind. You’re going to need some good photos.

And what makes good photos you may ask, a good venue.

#The Catering

Food. We love it, we need it, we eat it.

At weddings, there’s this stigma of bad food… Okay well let me not say bad but, generic and well bland dishes. At not all but most.

You see, I myself am a man of a refined palate, not to brag but I am.

We want our guests to not only enjoy our company but our hospitality as well. This isn’t only limited to weddings, this is at home as well and any other public or private events we host.

Thus, a great catering service will go a long way because if there’s one truth that I can tell you, that is both scientifically and societally proven it is that…. Humans love food.

That’s all folks. Let us know if we missed anything, by which I’m sure may be a lot. But these are the more primary tips we have, they’re definitely more. Maybe for another time.
