Until when I was getting married it never
occurred to me how demanding organizing a wedding could be. Ideally I had
always thought that the people who always felt the pinch of organizing a
wedding were the wedding planners, and probably the loved ones to the bride.
But I was wrong, right from the onset I had gotten the wedding ideas pretty
much out of place. So when it came down to my wedding, it was time for me to
learn.
Number Of Guests
My wedding lesson number one started with the
guests. Well you may be wondering why it didn’t begin with the wedding bands
being that a wedding should always be nothing short of entertainment. If you do
then you must be in the same boat like I was at that moment. Ideally the number
of guests that I was to invite would prove to be quite helpful in determining
my budget, and even the size of my reception. Therefore indeed I had to be
certain of the number of guests that I had to invite before settling down for
any other thing.
Wedding Date
With this done to my best it was time for my
lesson number two. This one looked more important than even the number of
guests that I wanted to invite. But just like my wedding planner had put it
across, it was viably the second and as the student I had no choice but to
oblige. Under this I was to check out if my wedding date fell squarely on the
same day as any other event that might have interfered with the traffic or even
the availability of hotel rooms. The dates may include trade conference or even
a charity walk.
Watch The Weather
And then it was time for lesson number three,
and surprisingly the all important wedding bands were still not appearing in my
list. But as my wedding planner later told me wedding entertainment is usually
all inclusive. By that it meant that for everyone in attendance to enjoy a
wedding, it had to be set rightly from the beginning to the end. So when
heeding to nature’s call came in on third, I had to listen. Well guests have
been known to avoid weddings that fall on bugs infested area, improperly heated
winter loft receptions, and hotter than hot summer receptions. So I had to keep
an eye on the weather so as to keep my event in place too.
Go Credit
Lesson number four proved the need of taking
advantage of the high costs of planning my wedding. Ideally my planner from Jewish Wedding Music advised me to grab a credit card with a few viable reward
programs. So that with any reward whether on airline miles or shopping
extravaganza I still had something to earn from it all.
Then the last and more formidable lesson was
lesson number five. Always learn to pay forward, in simple terms let one vendor
lead you to the next, your florist can lead you to an ideal photographer, and
in turn the photographer will advice you on the band that packs the dance
floor.
