Where to begin

You have just become engaged and now the planning phase of your wedding begins.  However, you are not certain where to begin. Here are a few tips I hope you find helpful.

Think about the style of your wedding.  How do you see your wedding unfolding?

  Sit down with your groom, or parents and establish a budget and stick to it. 

Begin compiling a guest list.  This will help you determine the size of the venue you need to accommodate your guests.  It will also help in ordering the correct amount of invitations.  Ordering additional invitations will cost you an unnecessary expense. 

Hire a good wedding planner.  I know you think I'm saying this because I am one, but I am not.  A good planner can save you time, money, and produce a smooth wedding.  Make sure she is someone you work well with, listens to you and sensitive to your needs.

We'll talk again soon.
