1.
Congratulations on becoming engaged! This day is a special day
for you and your future husband. So relax and enjoy your day.
Let a professional take the stress away, making it more
pleasant for you and your family. Laugh with your friends and
family as the day progresses and enjoy every moment, for
you are about to start a new life as
husband and wife.........
2. When
planning the wedding date you should consider the location of
your wedding site , whether indoors or outdoors. Depending on
the time of year the weather will be a big factor. Do not
choose a date near a holiday, some people take vacation time on
holidays and would not be able to attend.
3. The
more time you have to plan your wedding the more options
you have to choose from, and that may be a plus when paying for
everything you want. Ask to see if the vendors may have payment
plans for their services. This may be of some help to you and
your family when you are deciding on their services.
4. You
may find that service providers who work out of their homes (
Photographers, Caterers,
Videographers, etc. ) are less expensive than those who have a
Shop or Studio.
5. Get
every agreement in WRITING. ( D.J., Florists, Caterers,
Photographers, Limos, etc. ). If a
vendor doesn't have a formal agreement , just write down the
details as you understand them, and ask the vendor to sign and
date the agreement. The importance of the details of the
agreement cannot be underestimated; without written information
, you are dependent on the memory of your vendors.
6. When
checking on a wedding photography package, specify to your
photographer that you would like to
have a time schedule of the photos to be taken. Concentrate on
your photos. Ask your photographer about the schedule of when
and where the photo sessions are to take place before and after
the ceremony. Stress firmly to your wedding party and relatives
who are in the photos, to go immediately to these locations, so
that you don't waste precious time. Your guest will be waiting
patiently at the reception site for your photography to be
completed.
7.
Please explain to all the guest and relatives that are taking
pictures, during the alter returns, that they may cause you to
blink, or slow down the photo session. Please tell them, they
can take all the pictures they want at the reception.
8.
Please read the Word about
TRADITION on the opening page . It will make your day go by
so fast and easy for you and your future husband and families.
9. The
day of the wedding, the bride should eat a good breakfast, and
bring some snacks and drinks to the wedding site. Make sure
everyone eats, including the Groom and his guys.
10.
Make sure the groom has some involvement in the planning of the
wedding.
11. To
wrap it up , use patience, plan, plan, plan, write it down, get
all the details, divide work into teams, compromise where
needed, give yourself months, and months to organize, and enjoy
the planning process itself. Never assume anything, check and
double check for all contingencies and possible snags and
emergencies. Plan how you will cope and overcome these when and
if they happen.

ENJOY YOUR
SPECIAL DAY!!!
