4 Things to Not Forget in the Lead Up to the Wedding
With all the details that come with planning a wedding, it’s so easy to forget something. Here are a few crucial things to remember that definitely need to go on the to-do list.
Invitations: Have a Return Address for the Envelope
When sending out invitations, you’d be amazed where they end up. Sometimes people open them and then misplace the card. The best they can do is find the envelope it came in. If it’s just addressed to them, they don’t have a return address to mail it back to. In this age of digital communications, not every friend, acquaintance or distant family member will have your latest home address.
By purchasing return address labels for weddings, you don’t have to worry about not hearing back from someone because they mislaid the invite. The label is in the corner of the envelope and quick to locate. Decorative wedding address labels come in various designs including reflective gold with black print, complete with a small picture, or as a transparent label to go unobtrusively over a pristine white envelope. It’s your choice.
Frugality: Cut Costs or Cut Out Things the Bride & Groom Don’t Care For
Find the happy medium with the cost of the wedding. There are places to economize that won’t be noticed by guests and won’t be missed either. By lopping off a pleasing amount of the wedding’s cost,it leaves some money left over for when you arrive back home after your honeymoon.
It’s best to plan the wedding together. Discuss the financial aspects firstto ensure you’re on the same page. It’s finding that happy balance without feeling deprived in any way that is what you should be aiming for.
Band Management: See a Rehearsal with the Band
Check the band is going to be good enough on the day. Sometimes we hastily book a local band without verifying what their live performances are like.
Have they performed at a wedding before? Is their style of music going to be acceptable to most of the guests or will they have to cover their ears? Run through a rehearsal performance to check.
Honeymoon: Get Proof of Travel Bookings
We cannot tell you how many times a honeymoon went array before it even got started because travel bookings went unconfirmed. Don’t leave it too late before you make the travel bookings and go back to confirm them. Usually, you only receive an emailed confirmation, but they still have the details including the booking reservation number.
Be aware that it’s usually necessary to check-in online before getting to the airport. At the very least, it makes the process faster and smoother when arriving at the right terminal. In all the hubbub about the wedding, don’t forget you need to check-in too.
Also, be careful about overweight luggage because you don’t want to get hit with an over-limit charge and have less spending money on your honeymoon.
Use a checklist of everything you must do and review it regularly. This way, you know where you stand in your wedding preparations as you go along.
