How to How Avoid Disappointment on Your Wedding Day
Friday, January 01, 2016
Make a wedding shopping list and a to-do list
to help you avoid the usual impulsive overspending and stick to your
budget.
Ask for help no matter
how small a wedding will be, it would still involve lots of details and
logistics, and you can’t do everything alone. You’ll need lots of help to
organize your wedding. You can either pay for hired helps or get it for free by
asking friends and family. If you have extra cash or don’t have either time or
close friends and family available to help you with implementing the wedding
plans, hire a professional wedding planner to help you achieve and implement a
tight plan .
Other areas you can get help, during wedding planning include: The
wedding catering – ask your mom, her friends, your aunts, your village women’s
meeting. Instead of paying wedding vendors for the reception catering, ask
talented friends and family members to gift you their time and service for your
wedding. Ask them to help you cook the wedding food, make the small chops,
wedding cake, chin-chin and so on. The wedding cake and snacks – ask your
friends and close family members Venue decoration – ask your church members or
friends Recommendation to good vendors, as well as putting in a word for them
to give you discounts NOTE: If your wedding reception venue would be in a
hotel, know that most hotels require you to purchase all your food and drinks
from them. So, be sure to ask them for the quotes on how much the catering
would cost for the number of guests you expect.
Keep bridesmaids and
groomsmen few. Since you’re talking of a small wedding with a few guests, it’s
appropriate to have a few bridesmaids and groomsmen. Cut down the number of
bridesmaids and groomsmen – may be, just have a best-man and chief bridesmaid,
and maybe one flower girl.
Keep the meal style
simple when deciding whether to serve a buffet or sit-down meal, consider the
size of your wedding venue. If the venue is small, don’t do buffet, as there
may not be enough space to set the buffet stations. Be sure to have multiple
serving stations if you want to serve buffet-style meals, so that you don’t
have your guests queuing for food for too long – and getting annoyed. If you
want to serve sit-down meals, be sure to have adequate number of servers
Remember when deciding on
what food to have at your wedding that you consider the prices. Keep the menu
options small and limit the variety of food served – only serve the essential
party food that most Nigerians love. Instead of serving a six course meal,
consider only three. When hiring a caterer, confirm what will be served for the
price they’re quoting.
