Here is a list of 5 wedding planning tips that happen to get overlooked in the hustle and bustle of wedding arrangements. While wedding planning is important, sticking to the plans are by far of more importance. After all, what good is having a plan if you're not going to follow through with it? The following 5 tips are intended to guide you through your wedding planning as smoothly as possible: 1. DON'T GO OVER BUDGET! We've seen it happen time and time again. Newly wed couples thing they have everything figured out to the penny. But when the wedding is over they're left with unpaid bills and unexpected expenses. The solution? Don't go over budget! Plan everything for your wedding in advance: the cost of the caterer, DJ, photographer, and any other vendors you intend to hire. A word of advice: Don't invite your cousin's sister's husband's brother if you can not afford to feed him and his family. Start with immediate family and close friends-continue from there. It's really rude (and embarrassing) to dis-invite someone at the last minute (because you discovered you can't afford it!). 2. ORDER WEDDING ATTIRE EARLY Picture it: The Groom's Best Man is wearing a tuxedo that's three times too large for his body. The Bride's Maid's dress is so tight , she can barely breathe! These are horrific scenarios that actually do happen and need last minute resolutions. Don't put yourself through this chaos. Get everyone fitted for their dresses and tuxedos as early as 6-8 months in advance. Ladies-don't forget wedding accessories! 3. BOOK ACCOMODATIONS EARLY In some tourist frequented cities, guest accommodations need to be set up to a year in advance! Call resorts/hotels and book a set amount of rooms for your guests on a specific date. Be certain to have enough rooms for all of your out-of-town guests. Shop around for several accommodations, as your guests may be on a budget too! Especially if they just paid to travel to your location. 4. GET A MARRIAGE LICENSE FROM YOUR OWN COUNTRY If you've decided to have a destination wedding-don't arrive at that destination without a marriage license. Most states have a 30-60 day turn-around rate with marriage licenses. It's worth the wait. Why, you ask? Different countries have different marriage customs and requirements. Nevertheless, you should bring your new marriage license with you wherever you are going to marry. If you are re-marrying, bring your divorce papers as well. 5. BEAUTIFICATION CAN GET UGLY Bad tans, allergic reactions to hair dye or other chemicals can be a nightmare. Don't until the last minute to get a pre-wedding 'make-over.' Facials and waxing can also leave unwanted blotches, burns, and breakouts for those wedding photographs! Make all beautician appointments a week or two in advance. Part of good wedding planning is being the 'early bird' make sure everything is in place nice and early inthe planning stages.
