You must have heard that a wedding is an event that lasts a lifetime, but the reality differs in the big time. Weddings are the most chaotic if not micro-managed and things are not decided prior. If you are getting married anytime soon, expect chaos and mess, but with a perfect checklist, the chaos can be way less. Despite organizing a traditional wedding in your hometown or an all inclusive destination wedding Mexico, a checklist is a perfect way to ensure that you are doing everything right.
A checklist doesn’t include the minor details because they are dealt with mostly on the spot, but it contains the major pointers that shouldn’t be missed.
Deciding on the Budget
A checklist must have the budget for everything, be it the venue, décor, music, different events, gifts, hampers, makeup, wedding dress, catering, and everything that contributes to a large expenditure. Having a budget on a checklist covers the major part of your wedding ensuring you are not missing anything to be arranged at the last moment.
Invited
While printing invites is already included in the budget section, sending out the invites to all the people who you want to invite to your wedding should be separate from your checklist. You must ensure that every invite has been sent. Also, there are types of invites, which are meant for different groups like corporate, families, friends, and others. Ensure everyone is receiving the right one.
Timing of Events
People these days love to organize different events, right from the pre-wedding bash to the post-wedding bash. Many times the events collide and you must be prepared for the timing so the décor can be set up as per the event, with the right catering and music.
A wedding is indeed a time of chaos, and there is no guarantee you can make it perfect or without chaos, you can make it nearly perfect with a checklist in hand.
