Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life. Everyone knows planning a wedding can be difficult. If you search on the internet you'll find many articles and planning books out there that make it seem like wedding planning is rocket science but it really is not. Do it yourself wedding planning can be easy if you are organized.

One of the most exciting parts of wedding planning is sharing your happiness with family, friends and other guests. And the best place to start your wedding planning is by talking to friends and family about their wedding experiences. Wedding planning is crucial to the success of your day.

The key to any wedding planning is making a checklist and following it in an organized fashion. The top thing on your checklist should be your wedding date. Without that there will not be a wedding day. Other items that may be on your wedding checklist are, choosing a minister to officiate your ceremony, the wedding rings, the bride's dress, who you want to be in your wedding, where the wedding will be held, invitations, the reception, flowers, music, photographer, wedding favors and more.

If you plan on having an outdoor wedding you need to consider the time year or location so that it will not be too cold or rainy. Also, if your wedding is anywhere near the national average it will cost you or your parents around $ 3000. Typically, the wedding reception accounts for 50% or more of the total wedding package. This makes the RSVP on your invitations very important.

The time leading up to your wedding day is a very special time but it will go very quickly. And the best part of all that comes from your wedding day is your honeymoon which brings us to a whole other subject for a future article.
