If you’re going to dream, dream big!
Afterall, your wedding is a once in a lifetime experience. It’s your special day and you’ll remember it for eternity and forever. So, making sure the day is nothing short of perfection and planning for the best is essential, just like anything in life. In all our wildest dreams, we see both the big picture and the little details. The same is true for our special day – in your “big dream,” leave no table unturned.
So how do we make this first party of yours as husband and wife roll?
Plan accordingly.
Set a Theme
This is YOUR day and should appropriately reflect your style – your favorite foods, your hobbies, your personality and preferences, your taste in music, etc. Your guests will remember this well, as will you, and will feel ultra special to be a part of your heart.
Pick Your Team
Choose wisely. In any industry, experience makes a difference. You want your “right hand man” to be a pro and your caterer to be the “MacGyver” (this is Busy Bee Catering’s pseudonym – in case you were wondering). Those people working closest to you need to roll with the punches, glide along with any last minute changes, and smile through it all. Make sure you obtain references to ensure the best people will have your back.
Choose a Venue
Where your ceremony and celebration will take place should reflect your overall wedding theme and your personality as husband and wife. Do you prefer uber-fancy and elegant? Or do you plan to whip out the cowboy boots in the barn and get down and dirty dancing with Mason jar votive décor? Your venue choice will make a big difference in terms of how your celebrations flows in the long run – spacing, food presentation, time frames, weather, etc.
Mark the Calendar
This may go without saying, but make sure you set aside the date of your special day so that you’re able to reserve your preferred date, hire your caterer with plenty of time to plan, choose a venue, and make all the other arrangements without any conflicts.
Create a Budget
Of course when we dream big, budget seems to fly out the window. However, as you hone down your dream into a reality, make sure you’re able to stick within your allotted funds. This will help you to prioritize your dream date essentials.
Enjoy Yourself
“Bee a guest at your own event.” You are investing time, money, and your heart into your wedding day. You’re also hiring the best – so make sure you leave it to your team and set aside your worries and enjoy the party. This is your day. Enjoy it.
Watching your dreams manifest into a reality can be very satisfying. Relish the precious moments of your day. This experience is priceless.
