The Complete Guide to Planning a Wedding

"Weddings are not about spending the least amount of money or the most amount; they are about spending good money on the elements that are most important to you and your partner," says Kristi Richardson. 

It can sometimes seem overwhelming just because you recently got engaged and are checking out for alternatives to make this the next big thing of your life.

The techniques and steps are the same. Just have a checklist to follow every step. 

You should set a time and date as well as book a venue to start your wedding event as quickly as possible.

Here are the 14 steps you should follow to have the perfect wedding: 

1. Having the proper wedding budget

It is essential to make a list of things and the amount of money you will spend on those essentials. It is tough to manage all the stuff and decorations that you want to purchase all at once. This would include the venue expense, decorations, food expense, drinks expense, disposable plates for weddings, and proper lighting.

2. Get a wedding planner app

This will help you check your progress, remind you about the remaining wedding work you must do, and help you quickly accomplish your wedding goals in no time.

3. Gather some ideas and take in inspiration

Check out how others are setting up stuff for their wedding parties and gather some inspiration from others' work. Then, start brainstorming what you want for your wedding. Finally, start scrolling down on social media platforms to get some ideas and see what the latest trends for a wedding are going on in 2022.

4. Prepare a guest list

Start listing the people you want to invite to your weddings, like close friends, family members, or colleagues. Next, check the size of the venue on how many people can fit in. If it's a big venue, then invite more people. If it's small, invite fewer guests and check your expenses on food items they will consume. For example, to ensure that you have enough dinnerware, even for guests you may not have planned, you should simply order elegant plastic plates in bulk from Smarty Had A Party.

5. The best wedding dress for you and your bride

Head out for shopping and check out the brand-new clothing collection you need for your bride. What would make you feel in your zone of comfort and get you in the best look and shape for your wedding?

6. The best date for the day

You can't set a date until you book a venue, but it's better to start searching out the best dates available when you're free to do all your work at once, and you could also give time to your loved ones. So look out for your calendar.

7. Wedding registry

Many will ask you, 'where are you registered?' after you have announced your engagement and planning for your wedding. So, get your wedding registry quickly registered. 

Your family members would want to purchase a gift as soon as possible, like plastic dinnerware sets for a wedding or some other tableware, of course. There is always time to change your wedding registry later.

8. Dinner details

It takes a night before the wedding; a rehearsal dinner that consists of disposable wedding plates also requires some planning. Mostly, you will have to plan, but it's better to find out who's preparing for it and paying for the event. It takes about 6-7 months for all staff to take place before the big day.

9. Honeymoon reminder

Don't get yourself too much into your wedding. Remember you'll have a honeymoon after that. So you need to start looking for the best location, book your travel, and the area you will live in.

10. Start attending those pre-wedding events

Those events could be the bachelor and the bachelor party, engagement parties, and bridal showers. Make sure to set the tables with the settings of elegant disposable plates for weddings to enjoy every moment of it and attend it as the guest of honor.

11. Wedding invitations

There are usually about eight weeks before the big day, and the RSVP deadline is about two to three weeks earlier. Therefore, sending the invites critically on time is one of the most essential steps to planning a successful wedding.

12. Creating a seating chart for the guests that will arrive during the wedding

Work with the event planner for your venue to create a seating arrangement based on the upcoming guests arriving for the wedding. For example, based on the order of kinships like relatives and close family and friends, you can also use a tool online that would randomize the sitting arrangement based on the importance of the party guests.

13. Obtaining a license for the wedding

One of the most emphasizing steps if you have planned a wedding is the marriage license that will prove the rights of you and your partner that both are legally married to one another. Every different country or state has additional marriage licenses depending on its laws.

The last step before everything else confirms the details.

Confirm the details beforehand, such as the date, timing, and place, so that the guests you have invited would not be confused about the place they have to arrive and the arrangement of the food that has to be served to the party guests, thus removing anything that might upset them.
