What to Do First

The first three things should be done right away.

1) Choose the church, temple, or other ceremony location, and the date you want to be married.
2) Choose the reception location, date, and time.
3) Choose your photographer.

Most brides think they can always just choose the day they get married and that is the end of it. However, this is not the true in most cases, be prepared to give up the date you have chosen for your special day unless you are fortunate enough to get the reception location and church available the same day. It is a known fact that you really are not the one that decides when you want to get married the place of the ceremony and reception halls do.

Here is one last tip. Work on a budget. This is one of the most important days of your life and you want it to be perfect. Just remember, there is a way to get just what you want for less. Make a reasonable budget for your wedding and stick to it. This is a very freeing way to plan your wedding. It allows you to know exactly what you can spend on each aspect of your wedding. If you have trouble knowing what items to include in your budget, there are many websites and books that offer wedding budget worksheets. Working on a budget will keep the stress low for everyone involved.
