If you are planning a Singapore wedding, then there are many things that must be set into place prior to the couple’s big day! If you plan ahead it helps to reduce the stress and make things go much more smoothly. Here are some great time saving wedding planning tips that are sure to keep your wedding on track and hassle free:
MAKE A WEDDING CHECKLIST
A great way to save time is to write down everything that needs to be done prior to the wedding day. Be sure to include everything from ordering the cake and flowers to picking up the rings, decorating the church or reception hall, doing the invitations, etc. This way you won’t stress out about what needs to be done and your wedding day will be happy and stress free.
BE SURE TO DELEGATE WEDDING DUTIES
A huge mistake some couples make is trying to do everything themselves. That is a bad idea, as no one can be in two places at once with all of the things that need to get done prior to the wedding. Be sure to assign other people to help do things like address invitations, pick up wedding favors for the tables, decorate the reception area, or other things on your check list.
ORGANIZE EVERYTHING INTO A SPECIAL WEDDING BINDER
A great way to save time is to make a special wedding binder. Then, put into it everything that you need to organize your wedding such as cards from vendors, quotes on products and services, names and phone numbers of important people, sample pictures of cakes, dresses, etc. This way you won’t panic when you need to remember where you wanted to order a cake or dress or who you need to call to reserve the reception hall, and it will save you tons of time and frustration.
SET YOUR WEDDING BUDGET EARLY
Another time saver is to know from the beginning what your budget is for spending money on the wedding. You also may want to add about 10 to 20 percent onto that expected total for any last minute, must do or must have expenses like replacing flowers or paying for a last minute guest your parents insist on inviting. Be sure to make your reservations for the honeymoon early to lock in the lowest prices and don’t go overboard when ordering the food and cake, as you don’t need the most fancy or most expensive things on the vendor’s menu to have a beautiful and perfect wedding experience.
USE A FREE WEDDING APPS TO HELP KEEP YOU ON TRACK
Another great way to save time is to find a wedding app to use to keep everything on track for your big day. There are many of these apps that are free that work well to keep you organized and since it’s a computer or smart phone program, you have everything there in one place and can’t lose it like you can written notes or torn out pages from bridal magazines. You can put in your checklist of things to do, timelines for things like dress fittings or ordering food and cakes, and many other necessary wedding planning items.
WORKING COUPLES SHOULD USE THEIR LUNCH HOURS, OTHER FREE TIMES TO GET READY
Don’t stress out if you both work and have little time for getting the pre-wedding things accomplished. Besides delegating tasks to other people, you can do some of the small things on your wedding checklist during your lunch hour or right after work before dinner. Plan to meet up at lunch if you work close to each other and do things like confirm the cake or invitation orders, schedule a quick dress fitting or anything else that can easily fit into the time frame you have allowed.
The bottom line is that planning a wedding doesn’t have to be full of hassles, headaches and frustration! With some pre-planning and organization, your wedding plans can go smoothly and you both can stay cool and confident. Make your wedding as happy as you both are together by following these wedding planning tips.
After all, you plan on being together for the rest of your lives, so why start things out being stressed out and worried? Planning makes everything calm, cool and collected and that’s they way you want it! Have a happy wedding day with these time saving tips.
