If you’re reading this post, you’re probably about to start planning your dream wedding. So first of all — congratulations on your engagement and welcome to the wonderful world of wedding planning! 💍You’ve likely heard stories from family and friends about how stressful and crazy their planning experience was. Of course, it can be a little overwhelming, but it’s also incredibly exciting and fun. If you ever feel stressed, just remember this: your wedding day is simply about signing a few papers and celebrating with the people who love you most. Easy, right? 😊Let me show you the first steps of wedding planning to get you started on the right foot.
Always remember:
💖 It’s your day!
I know you’re excited. But before diving into Pinterest boards and wedding magazines, take a moment to sit down together and talk about what you really want. Decide, individually and as a couple, what matters most to you. Do you want a traditional wedding or something totally unique? What kind of ceremony feels right for you?Once you’re both clear on what’s important, it’ll be much easier to focus your planning and communicate your vision to family and friends.
Create a dedicated wedding email address
Why? Because it’s the easiest way to keep your wedding communication organised! Set up a joint email account (for example: annaandben2025@gmail.com ) and use it for all your wedding-related contacts — from suppliers to online registrations and wedding fairs. This keeps everything in one place and prevents your personal inbox from being flooded.
Set your wedding budget
Budgeting might not sound glamorous (unless you love spreadsheets 😅), but it’s one of the most important steps in the entire planning process. Start by deciding how much you’re comfortable spending. Consider your savings, any financial help from family members, and how much you can realistically save before the big day.
Draft your guest list
Once you have a rough idea of how many guests you want to invite, everything else becomes easier — especially budgeting. Your guest count will have the biggest impact on your venue choice and overall costs, so it’s a great place to start.
Congratulations — you’ve taken the first steps!See? It’s not that scary after all. Pour yourself a glass of something bubbly and celebrate the start of this beautiful journey together! 🥂
