Planning the perfect intimate wedding
IN 10 SIMPLE STEPS
Weddings are a time of joy and celebration, but they can also be stressful, especially when it comes to planning. If you're planning a small wedding with 100 guests or fewer, don't worry – the process can be a lot simpler and more manageable than you think. Here's a 10-step guide to help you plan the perfect small and intimate wedding.
Step 1: Set a Budget
The first step in planning any wedding is to determine how much money you have to spend. This will help you decide on your venue, vendors, and other expenses. Be realistic about what you can afford, and allocate your budget accordingly. Don't forget to include hidden costs, such as taxes and gratuities, in your budget.
Step 2: Choose a Date
The next step is to choose a date for your wedding. Consider the availability of your desired venue, as well as the schedules of your family and friends. You should also consider the season and weather, as these can affect the look and feel of your wedding.
Step 3: Select a Venue
Once you have a date in mind, it's time to choose a venue. When selecting a venue, make sure it fits your style, budget, and guest list. Tour the venue in person and make sure to book it in advance. This is also a good time to start thinking about your wedding decorations, as you'll want to choose a venue that will complement your theme.
Step 4: Create a Guest List
Now that you have a venue, it's time to create a guest list. Decide on the number of guests you want to invite and make a list of their names and addresses. Keep in mind that a smaller guest list can make the wedding more intimate and manageable.
Step 5: Choose a Theme
Choosing a theme for your wedding is a great way to reflect your personality and style as a couple. Whether you choose a classic, romantic, or modern theme, make sure it's something that you both love.
Step 6: Hire Vendors
Now that you have a venue and theme, it's time to hire vendors. This includes a wedding planner, photographer, caterer, florist, and any other vendors you need to make your wedding day perfect. Do your research, read reviews, and ask for recommendations from friends and family. See our preferred vendor list
Step 7: Select a Menu
One of the most important parts of any wedding is the food. Decide on the menu for your wedding, including the appetizers, main course, and dessert. Work with your caterer to make sure the menu is delicious and within your budget.
Step 8: Plan the Details
With your venue, theme, and vendors in place, it's time to start planning the details of your wedding. This includes the decorations, music, transportation, and any other special touches you want to add. Don't forget to plan the timeline for your wedding day so that everything runs smoothly.
Step 9: Send Out Invitations
Once you have the details of your wedding planned, it's time to send out invitations. Choose an invitation design that fits your theme and send them out to your guests. Keep track of RSVPs and make sure you have a final headcount a few weeks before the wedding.
Step 10: Enjoy Your Day
Finally, on your wedding day, relax and enjoy the special moments. Delegate tasks to trusted friends or family members so that you can focus on having fun. This is your day, and you should savor every moment.
With these 10 steps, you'll be able to plan the perfect wedding.
