How to Plan a Wedding or Use a Wedding Planner

There is a choice when making the plans. The bride can decide to do them herself or to use a wedding planner. A meeting is set with the wedding planner. They will discuss the wedding by going over the bride's thoughts and wishes. The Planner is there to get the bride and groom the best or lowest prices on everything. This will place all the stress on them. Most wedding planners leave their cards at bridal shops. Checking with beauty shops is a good idea too.

The first decision is the wedding date. If the bride does the planning making, a list is a good idea. 1. Total cost, 2. place, 3. wedding party, 4. colors, 5. flowers, the color, and kind, 6. cake, invitations, bride's dress, tuxedos, 7. Reception (where), what is served, 8. the server/servers and guest register, 10. Who is performing the ceremony?

When choosing a Minister most will want a meeting. There are reasons that some will not perform the ceremony. These are, the second marriage of the bride or groom. At least the bride or groom needs to attend their church. In addition, if they have already been living together, another is they will have no alcohol beverage where the wedding is performed.

Of course, there are other things to consider. Contacting the person doing the wedding when deciding the date and time. This will need to be confirmed. Rehearsals are usually the night before the wedding. If thinking of another time be sure to consult the minister to confirm. Both of these need a confirmation well in advance. Ministers, Notaries or Justus of the Peace will not put aside two days for a wedding. Unless it is very necessary.

Notaries can only perform weddings in three states. They are Florida, Maine and South Carolina. There are some Justus of the Peace as well as Ministers that will perform a wedding anytime.
