You're engaged!  What's next?


Five things couples should do immediately after the engagement.

     Choose the wedding day.

The wedding date hinges on many factors from the availability of the church to the reception hall or caterer.

     Book the wedding ceremony location.

Inquire into open dates.  If your prefered choice of dates is available, reserve it.

    
Select an officiant.

Contact the wedding officiant as soon as you've chosen a date to confirm that he/she is available.

    
Determine the budget.
    
Pick a wedding size and reception style that's within your financial boundaries.

     Reserve the reception site.

The sooner you establish the style of your reception and the number of anticipated guests selecting a reception site within your budget is much easier.  Be sure to visit the site you have in mind when it is set up for a function comparable in size to the reception you are planning.  Space is the critical issue when choosing the room for your wedding reception.

By using this website strategically, you can save time by eliminating locations and vendors that aren't within your budget before you visit them.

     Final Notes.

From the day you start planning your wedding keep a pocket notebook to jot down ideas you see at parties or other weddings.  Just walking into your favorite store or glancing into a store window could give you a multitude of ideas.  Plan on making your wedding something special by selecting the music, flowers and atmosphere that represents your likes.

 

Give yourself at least a year to plan the reception.  Your wedding date is going to be influenced by the availability of the facilities and professional services you wish to employ, ranging from the reception site to the photographer.  Make a lot of telephone calls to determine if you can pull your wedding off on your dream date.  You may have to make some compromises.  You should also be aware of calendar dates that may impact your guests' ability to attend the festivities.  Local tourism officials can help you determine if the wedding date you have in mind conflicts with any big festival or public event which could result in limited hotel space.  The location you choose to set your ceremony and reception provides the foundation for your wedding style.  Once you have made that crucial decision, you can start to compile the guest list, consider the music and flowers and all the other details.
