Wedding Do’s and Don’ts by Mindy Weiss

14 Mar Wedding Do’s and Don’ts by Mindy Weiss

Hello brides-to-be! We know many of you are hard a work planning each and every detail of your big day. On this lovely Tuesday we’d like to bring to you a list of Do’s and Don’ts by wedding planner extraordinaire Mindy Weiss. We DO hope you find it helpful. : ) HAPPY PLANNING!

DO TRY TO INVOLVE YOUR FIANCE IN THE PLANNING.

Even though they may not want to be bothered, it is a good time to learn more about one

another’s likes and dislikes.

DO TRY TO BRING BOTH FAMILIES TOGETHER.

Invite your parents over to talk about wedding plans. If they live in separate cities, set up

a conference call so everyone can be together to share the excitement! This will help

everyone feel as though they’re a part of making this wedding very special.

DON’T WASTE TIME WORRYING ABOUT PLEASING EVERYONE

Try your best, but remember this is you and your fiancée’s big day.

DO ELIMINATE SOME OF THE LEG WORK BEFORE YOU REGISTER.

It is a good idea to narrow some of the gift choices before you ask your partner to join

you for the final decisions.

DO YOUR GIFT REGISTRY WITH YOUR PARTNER.

It’s more fun when your fiancé can share in the excitement of actually receiving gifts you

both chose together.

DO REMEMBER TO SELECT FLOWERS THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE AT

THE TIME OF YOUR WEDDING.

You may have a favorite flower you hoped would be in your bouquet, but the seasons

play an important role when deciding on florals.

DON’T ORDER YOUR INVITATIONS TOO EARLY.

Four months before your wedding date is ample time. Wedding invitation companies are

constantly coming up with new designs. Ask your stationer for the most current

catalogs. Always request a proof in case of last minute changes and errors.

DO ORDER EXTRA THANK YOU NOTES.

It is not expensive to increase the amount of thank you notes at the time of the initial

order. These notes will surely come in handy even after all the notes for the wedding

have been written.

DO CHOOSE A SONG FOR YOUR FIRST DANCE THAT IS MEANINGFUL TO

BOTH OF YOU.

This will make your first dance together as Mr. and Mrs. very special.

DO DECIDE HOW FORMAL YOU WANT YOUR WEDDING TO BE WHEN

YOU FIRST START PLANNING.

This will help with later decisions such as décor, menu planning and attire.
