Communicate
Your Wedding Budget to Wedding Vendors
Don't
be afraid to tell your professionals what your budget is. Then
they can show you what they can do for you within your budget.
Most of them are use to working with couples with a wedding
budget. If they want your business they should do their best to
accommodate you.
Wedding Vendor Deposits
When you're giving deposits and signing contracts
always read everything carefully. Know what you are getting, what's
included, and the policies for payments and refunds. Always get
a copy of the contract and receipt and file them promptly. Keep
track of your balances as they change and it's a good idea to
go over their details for your wedding with them
at the same time, while you have the opportunity.
Have Everything When Setting Up for Your Wedding
You also need to be organized when it comes
to the set up of your wedding reception
and ceremony. To avoid delaying things because
you don't have the right tools, be sure to bring a bin with all
the things you will need for setting up and decorating including,
duct tape, scotch tape, masking tape, string, ribbon, extension
cords, safety pins, glue gun with extra glue, plastic ties, ribbon,
wash cloth, all purpose cleaner, paper towels, a measuring tape,
flame starter, marker, hammer and trash bags.
Recruiting
Wedding Help
Assigning jobs to responsible people to help
you while planning your wedding can
be very beneficial It will save you a lot of time if you accept
their assistance. Sometimes it's hard to hand over the responsibility,
but it will mean you will have less to remember, more time to
do other things and less stress because of it. When you do recruit
people's help, make clear, precise instructions and directions
for them. Make a list of who is doing what and when for yourself
to help keep track. Make sure you confirm with them that they
understand all the details involved. There are many tasks you
can assign help for. Here are just a few:
- Picking up or delivering things
- Taking the marriage
license to place of wedding ceremony
- Someone in charge of the lighting
at the places of ceremony and reception
- Picking up and returning the
tuxedos
- Delivering flowers, the wedding
cake and/or transporting other items
- Decorating the cars, places
of wedding ceremony and/or reception
- Doing the pick up and returns
of the rental items

the wedding ceremony and/or reception
- Distributing the ceremony
programs to wedding guests
- Making favours for your wedding
guests
- Doing photocopying
- Addressing envelopes

- Making coffee, tea and/or
punch for wedding guests so they have
something to drink while they wait for you to arrive
at the wedding reception
*Note About Delegating Help
for Your Wedding*
When delegating jobs to people, think about if they
are extra talented in something in particular or do
they have access to equipment you need. Make sure
they are also both punctual and dependable. Don't
forget to follow up with them to make sure things
are done or to check in on their progress from time
to time. Just do it in an appreciative and non-offensive
manner.
