How Can a Wedding Planner Help
For many people, juggling a fast paced career, responsibilities at home and a social life is stressful enough. Add planning a wedding to the heap and they just might fall apart. When both the bride and groom to-be work in demanding careers, they will not have much time to plan a wedding. It may very well be that the couple prefers to call in a professional rather than make a mess of things handling it on their own.
The wedding planning business is big and wedding planners are very much in demand for their skills and expertise in putting together a terrific show. You need to have a clear plan in your own mind first as to the type of wedding you want and the kind of budget you are looking at. A really good planner will be able to fit things into your budget and give you a day to remember.
Budget: you will be sure to discuss this with your partner in great detail and your parents as well. It may be that you and your partner are footing the entire bill or the parents on either side may be helping out. Either way you should have a set budget with a margin for adjustment. Your wedding planner will be able to give you a few options to fit your budget.
Wedding type: you have to decide whether you wish to go with a simple, no frills wedding or you want to make a huge splash. Either way the wedding planner will help you out. Do you want a church wedding and then on to a catered reception in a hotel or will you return to something simpler like the lawns of your parent’s home? Only the couple can decide what they want but you have to be absolutely clear in detailing what you want to the wedding planner.
Guests: long before you actually firm up the date the guest list should be started. In times of great excitement and stress it is very easy to miss out someone who will most likely be offended. You cannot afford to forget to invite your partner’s great aunt Matilda now can you! Rather than causing people hurt and angst by leaving them off the guest list, albeit unintentionally, it is best to start the list early and get your parents to help check it over. You have to provide the planner with the exact number of adults and children and any special dietary needs.
These are some of the main areas in which you need to provide the wedding planner with clear and precise information for the successful planning of your wedding.
