Now That You Have a Budget, Let’s Get Organized to Begin Planning Your Wedding!

The next step is to get yourself some type of wedding planner/organizer (notebook) – you will be collecting so much information from this point forward that if you don’t write it all down or have a central place to keep everything, you will definitely be lost! Also, it’s a good place to keep all of the estimates, contracts, etc., that you’ll be collecting. Amazon has about the best selection I’ve seen at pretty good prices.

Make sure that the organizer has labeled dividers/sections for every aspect of your wedding plan. Keep extra dividers for any area that is not covered or to break an existing section down into sub-categories. Also make sure that you have pockets in each section for filing all the loose things that you need to keep. You will also need to keep at least one zippered pocket for things like pens/extra pens, markers, paper punch, paper clips, stapler, scotch tape, measuring tape, calculator, etc. Just trust me that you will use all of them and it makes it so much easier to have them with you.

They Asked . . . You Said Yes Now Where Do You Go From Here? Let the Wedding Planning Begin!

Welcome to Hooray, You’re Getting Married! There are a lot of wedding sites out there that are very fancy and if you look long enough you will find all of the information you need. I am purposely keeping this site simple and directly to the point so you have as much time as possible to get all of the things done for your special day. There are so many things that we'll be discussing here that are all part of planning a wedding:  wedding themes, budget, locations, invitations, favors, catering, wedding planners, oh and let's not forget dresses, flowers, receptions, music, etc., etc.

Most people dream of making their wedding day the happiest day in their life time and it can be done easily with the proper planning. Without that planning . . . well, you can go and read about all of the disasters out there. That being said, when I said ‘easily’ before I did not mean that it won’t take a bit of time and some serious work. If you start out with a fairly well thought out wedding plan and just follow it, you can make the whole process up to your special day memorable. There will be a lot of seriously funny moments and a lot of seriously hair raising ones along the way.
