My 'Wedding Preparations' Advice



I've had several brides-to-be ask me what they should do for their wedding, where to get this, where to do that...and I think sometimes, this is the easy part actually.

The easy part is hiring someone to do stuff for you, for example, once you know who will be making your wedding outfit for you...you just tell 'em what you want, what you like...get them to think for you etc. Once you've decided which catering to hire...just choose a menu and give your dates and address....easy peezy stuff....of course the hunting part and making the decision part can make your head spin BUT at the end of the day, you're NOT going to be the one beading your own garments, cooking everything for 1000 guests!

And I find that there's a whole lot of info on wedding stuff on-line now...sooo cool... makes life a lot easier...!

OKAY...what I feel the bride has to work on coz...at the end of the day...somehow..the bride does end up working on this too...and that is 'The Guest List'.

Yup! The thing those lovely wedding websites sometimes don't highlight is the importance of The Guest List..who to invite, who not to invite, whos gona type out the huge list of names, correct spelling of names, addresses, don't invite the same person TWICE coz your friend happens to also be a friend of your mum's too...uurrgghhh...!

The cool thing about the 'Guest List' is that even if you are not getting married yet you can start listing down the people you would invite to your wedding. I find it's always a good idea to have a well prepared wedding guest list. You don't wana rush on this one. Y'know how some people are...forget to invite them, they get offended..etc etc etc...and then you're finished!!

This guest list you would have to colaborate with nearly EVERYONE in your family coz it's not just your little friends you wana be inviting..it's your dad's side of the family and friends, it's your mum's side of the family and friends..then you have your siblings friends who they wana invite..etc etc...it's endless...!!! and imagine having to settle this list within a short time like 2-3 months..seriously not enough time to be doing it 'comfortably'.

SO...prepare that guest list...!! This is the thing that will drive y'all nuts! Don't wait for the invitation cards to get printed...jus go ahead with listing those names..check it once, twice, three times, a hundred times if you have to!!

Then....once thats done...then y'gota print and stick etc etc...a lot of work just for an invitation .... there should be a 'wedding service' for typing, editing and pasting names to invitations!!

Then finally, delivering these cards.....hehhehe...who's gona do it?? hehehhe...lots to think about ... should have a wedding service to specially deliver wedding invitations too..!! hahahha...how cool would that be....and how impersonal i think?? !!! ;p



- AND THAT'S MY WEDDING TIP NO.1 - hehehhe ;)
