Your wedding planner guest list4/4/2024 You want someone who truly knows what they’re doing for this job for you so that you know everything is being handled and your vendors are looked after so that you can focus on enjoying your wedding day. Something to watch out for: Hiring an inexperienced planner can be as bad as not having a planner at all. The amount of stress a quality wedding planner can save you is seriously worth it’s weight in gold! It might sound odd, but a good wedding planner can actually help you SAVE money because they have experience and access to connections that you wouldn’t otherwise have! An experienced wedding planner knows what to expect! They’ve seen it all and they can head off problems before they even arise. Once your priority purchases have been made you’ll be able to redistribute any excess funds (or reassess smaller priority purchases) throughout your remaining budget as you go. Book your priority vendors FIRST so that if they cost a little more than what you anticipated you won’t be scrambling for a solution. Being realistic can really help when it comes to this part of your planning. No sense blowing your budget on expensive party favors if photography is the most important thing on your list. Talk to your fiance and determine what’s most important to the two of you. When you’ve determined ahead of time what your highest wedding priorities are, you will be able to use your budget more wisely. Determine your HIGHEST priority wedding purchases The gown you adore might cost a little more than what you initially budgeted for, but other things might end up costing less. A lot of planners prefer to price it per guest rather than the event total. Create a budget estimateĭo some research and allow for some wiggle room in case something you want ends up being more.Ĭreate a preliminary budget based on what you can afford for the overall wedding. The more you can organize and prioritize this part, the easier it will be when the time comes to finalize the overall invitation list. This is the list of all the people you’d love to invite if the budget and venue allows. That way, if you end up having more room, or if someone can’t come, you can easily add names, rather than having to lose sleep over who to remove if you don’t have enough room. My advice? Start out with a list of the people who MUST be invited first. Having 50 guests visit 100+ guests will determine what you can do next and what kind of venue you need. Your guest list is the primary thing that will have a huge impact on your budget, so this is the first thing you need to sort out. If you don’t have your heart set on a specific date, it doesn’t hurt to have an alternative date in mind in case your dream venue is already booked for your first choice date. Remember to account for holidays, family anniversaries, etc to try to avoid conflicting dates. Not sure where to start? Don’t worry, I’ve got you! Let’s talk about 7 things you can do to get your wedding planning off on the right foot!
