The key to a planning successful wedding (read: a wedding that goes
smoothly, without any major glitches) is smart planning. You can save
yourself from migraine headaches and crying spells by making a plan and
simply sticking with it. These simple wedding planning tips should help
take away some of the stress (or at least minimize it!).
Let's get started!
Lose the Laziness
One mistake that many couples make is basking in the glow of their engagement until 4-6 months before their wedding date. Then they try to cram all of the planning into a too-short period of time. Of course you should just sit back and be thrilled about your engagement for a while, but then you've gotta get cracking!

Buy a Calendar or Datebook
Once you determine your wedding
date, set specific dates by which you want to get things accomplished.
For example, you got engaged in m, May and your wedding date is June 24.
On August 31, mark in that you want to have the ceremony location and
reception hall reserved. Try to get as much done as possible in the
first few months so that the last few months won't be hectic.
Set Aside Time
Choose a day of the week when you'll focus on the wedding details, or several days if you're pressed for time. Sit down together
and plan. This eliminates confusion -- i.e., the groom thinking he's
supposed to call and check on hall rentals when the bride already has it
narrowed down to what will suit their needs.
Share Duties
This is the best way to get things
done. You both should be involved every step of the way. Make a list of
details to be taken care of, then divide the list in half. Each of you
choose what you want to do. This will make grooms want to be involved, instead of making them feel like they have
to help. Sure, your sweetie probably isn't concerned with exactly which
flowers you carry. And maybe you're not picky about what tuxedos he and
the guys wear (or maybe you are!). But involving your husband-to-be
will make him feel that it's his wedding, too -- something he helped plan, not just something he has to show up at. Which brings us to...
Talk, Talk, Talk
We can't stress this enough. Be sure that if
you're sharing duties that you're also sharing the details. It's okay
to take care of certain things by yourself, just make sure you're
telling each other about it so the caterer isn't contracted with twice!
Be Flexible
Okay. So you really didn't want the groom/ushers
in those tails and top hats. And maybe he doesn't want the cake to be
lemon with pecan icing (!). Each of you is going to want things that the
other doesn't care for, but flexibility is a must. Be willing to bend.
If you really object to something, let your objection be duly heard and
noted. Just give the other person a chance to explain why he/she really wants to arrive at the reception in a hot tub in the back of the limo..lolz
Details, Contracts, and Negotiations
When dealing with
wedding professionals (caterers, florists, etc.), be sure to clarify all
the details and your expectations during the initial discussions. Make
sure you get a contract specifically stating dates, times, and
locations. Be sure to include what you feel is appropriate dress, and
what you feel isn't. Spell out everything. Try to negotiate the
best deal for goods and services, but don't sell yourself short on
important things just to get a better price. Most importantly, be sure to read the fine print on every
contract before you sign it, and make sure you're aware of cancellation
policies and fees. Also ask if there's a grace period to cancel just in
case you change your mind or something happens and you need to postpone
the wedding (you never can tell).
This one's pretty obvious! The more organized
you are, the less chance there is that something will go wrong. Buy a
notebook, and keep all your wedding information in it. Receipts,
contracts, ideas -- everything. You might also want to get notebooks for
your maid of honor/bridesmaids and the best man. Put info such as
dates, times, locations, and duties. This will keep everyone organized
as well, and minimize the chance of someone missing a fitting date or
rehearsal time.
Finding Your Reception Venue
The reception venue: Think again about those wedding
dreams, and see how they mesh with reality. Perhaps you envision an
outdoor garden. Fine, but what if you can’t find just the right place or
the weather is an issue? Maybe there’s a quaint hotel with a pretty
courtyard that would suit. Some couples find historic homes in their
area to rent. Use local resources to narrow down options: a wedding
planner or a recently married friend. Check wedding websites and bridal
magazines. Then start scheduling visits.
Ceremony "who and where"
Finding an officiant and a ceremony site can be
simple—if, say, you wish to marry in your hometown house of worship.
Even if you’re no longer living in the area, you may have family who
still are and can help out. Sometimes for the sake of convenience,
couples choose a place that’s in between their homes and their parents’.
And then there’s the destination wedding; just make sure that everyone
you really want to join you and your groom can afford to travel and is
able to make it.
