One wedding plan quite often overlooked is, the actual preparation of the to-do list itself. If the to-do-list is not organized and itemised properly with all your wedding desires then you can expect last minute hiccups. This part of planning your wedding is the conclusion to a beginning. Meaning, now you have the list in order (finished), you can start the ball rolling.
To avoid any disappointment on your wedding day – prep friends and family in advance who have offered their services to help. To lighten the load you need to allot each person with a wedding task. You need to remind each helper after receiving their instructions that they need to report back with a progress report on how they are getting along with their assignment.
Wedding tasks may include ordering the wedding cake, ordering flowers from the florist, wedding cars to transport the bride, bridesmaid dresses, decorating the reception hall, arranging entertainment right down to what hymns are sung in the church for the marriage service. All of these are wedding plans which are considerably important so therefore the reason why you need to be kept updated.
Do you the betrothed find you’re self in a catch 22 situation i.e. worrying over having to ask others for help with your wedding arrangements who you feel may give you reason for concern in not fulfilling their duties, or, are you worried if you don’t the pressure will be to much for you going it alone.
Unnecessary stress before the wedding is not good. Okay so you need help, well, the first thing to do is pick family members and friends you can trust in carrying out your requests. The more intimate the friend is with you the better because, they know your traits, likes and dislikes so therefore if faced with a dilemma – having to make a decision on your behalf in your absence it will be in your best interest. (This is where trust prevails)
One wedding plan is to sit down with your disciples and talk things through. You will be surprised how this will help ease pressure. Give them each a note pad to make their own wedding to-do-list on your behalf and then compare notes when the sitting is over. Once again there maybe surprises in store with what each individual sees fit for your wedding. Ask each friend before hand if they will be comfortable with the wedding task you have assigned to them. If you receive an indecisive reply then it gives you the opportunity to reallocate them with a different assignment, The more finer in detail of what you want from them will get you positive results.
Wedding plans normally entail Bridal Gown, headwear, bridesmaid dresses, wedding cars, booking the church, wedding cake, flowers, wedding rings, entertainment, photographer, food, wedding invitations, wedding speech, marriage vows and venue hall.
The list is endless but the most important of all wedding essentials not be forgotten is to have the groom at your side.
Before dressing in white – Get it right.

Wedding planning can be intimidating at first and for good reasons. Nightmares of late tux deliveries, ugly wedding cakes and makeup stained wedding dresses could scare anyone catatonic. The best way to have the “perfect wedding” is to start off on a good foot. You can start planning your wedding right now without spending a dime.
Select a Wedding Date
After you’ve told the world that you’re tying the knot, it is a good idea to not take too long selecting a wedding date.
That way when you are shopping wedding vendors, you know what date you need beforehand. It keeps you from putting things off, because the wedding date will be quickly approaching.
It gives your friends and family time to plan ahead. It is a good idea to tell them as early as possible, especially if you’re getting married in the summer, due to many people planning vacations during that time.
Wedding Coordinating Help
Hire a wedding coordinator. I know you think it is expensive, but you will thank yourself in the end. If you don’t want to bear the expense of hiring a wedding coordinator, get some talented family member to help you. Any type of help will do.
Sometimes getting a second opinion can help you think about issues that you would not have thought of before. Above all, you should be enjoying yourself and not stressing out and getting some help will help you accomplish that.
What Type of Wedding Do yo Want?
Your wedding coordinator can help you determine the type of feel you want your wedding to give. Do you want it small and intimate, big and formal or somewhere in between? How about the time? If you have a lot of out of town guests it may be a good idea to have your wedding in the early evening, but not too late. Having your wedding at 10 AM may not go over too well with them.
Wedding Organizer
Wedding Organizers like notebooks or software can keep you from going into the insane asylum, for your probably can’t and shouldn’t try to keep all those numbers in your head. This way you are less likely to forget the small expenses that tend to add up in the end like wedding dress shoes, slips and veils. http://Weddingchannel.com and http://Theknot.com have free online wedding organizer software that includes a budget and expense calculator. At the very least, attempt to carry a notebook with you and record your wedding budget, expenses and tasks.
Wedding Guest List
Making a wedding guest list now is not too early. Well, at least attempt to do it! Combine the guest lists of future in-laws with your parents and your own guest lists for a good starting point. Don’t fret too much at first, because this will only be a rough draft. Your wedding coordinator can help you with this also. A good idea for all of you is to start off with those you must invite and end with those who you would like to invite and go from there.
Choose Your Colors
Picking your color scheme will, of course, make decorating a whole lot easier. The wedding décor that you want so badly may not come in the colors that you want, so it is good to do this early on. The same idea goes for the wedding party’s attire.
Above all, relax! It is your wedding day, not a final exam. And if something goes a little awry on your wedding day, try not to panic. Usually things work out in the end when you have loved ones to help you.
