Planning The Perfect Wedding

Congrats and Welcome to the site!!

Your help is here with us all to guide you through the process and stress of any during the planning.

WW Budget allows you to set an amount and then the exact cost to show you what you want to spend and what you actually spent on your vendors, purchases and anything else. At the same time WW To Do List is also available to you to know what needs to be in the frame time of steps. This will let you know what you have completed and what is left to do towards the day. Keep in mind that not all the things suggested will be done due to your choices and areas needed to spend on. I see it as a guide in general.

Create a Guest List to determine how many guests your wanting to invite and if plus 1 will be something your considering to family or individuals in serious relationships. Once determined, a venue can be looked into budgeting for food (buffet vs. plated course meals) and bar (open vs. cash). This will let make you know if the Guest List needs to be cut or family will help in financial aspects towards some of the expenses.

Congrats and welcome to Wedding Wire!
The checklist is the best starting tool! It gives you everything you need to accomplish and breaks it down so it is not overwhelming.
Participate and read as many discussions as you can on here! This is the one thing that helped me so much, and gave me some ideas.
Remember that its your wedding day and what you want should be the final decision!

The checklist will be your best friend. i love that it says "before xxxx" so i know when i need to do something. it has kept me a bit calmer

View quoted message Thank you. I’ve started researching and looking for any that are coming up soon.

Congratulations!!! most important decisions are date and venue. If you are starting with a clean slate and are looking for ideas or inspiration I strongly recommend going to a wedding/bridal show. They have everything you can think of.

Welcome and congrats on your engagement!

If you haven't done so already, I'd suggest sitting down with your partner and determining:

- The budget;

- What you want your special day to feel like (intimate, big, casual, formal, somewhere in the middle);

- What's important to you (Venue, food, flowers, DJ...etc.) so then you'll know where to spend more money on and where you can save or potentially just forgo.

Once you have those figured out, you can start your search for your vendors via this website, and keep track of who you contacted and who you selected.

The budget tool is also great because once you've put in your number, it'll distribute the amount into each area, just to give you an idea of how much you should be allocating for each vendor or area.

Finally, if you're stuck or wanna rant, or even just wanna get some insight about etiquette, you know you have the community to help you out

Hope this helps and happy planning!!
