To prepare properly you really need an initial list to guide through.
Actually you will end up with a number of lists as you identify and tackle each section of your wish list in order and with energy!

As an idea of ​​what you need to think about here is a short CHECKLIST to start you off.

1. Know your finances. Who is paying for what? Are your parents chipping in? Or are you and your husband to be paying for this celebration of a lifetime? Prepare a budget and keep to it. Budget for your wedding and start saving. Try not to start your married life in debt to the credit card. If you budget well, make a plan, stick to it, plus are creative, whatever monetary category your wedding falls into, you and your guests will enjoy a "wedding to remember".

2. You probably have a setting for this great occasion in mind so now you need to think carefully about what you are wishing to achieve and make a list. Mentally step through the tasks at hand and look at your list to ensure you have all bases covered. This list is finite. And you should have some fun making your plans.

3. Are you settling on a theme? For example did your mother originally come from France? On this basis you could think that a French theme may suit your wedding. Gather the information to make the day memorable and different. Go to the internet to garner ideas relating to your proposed French theme. The colors used, the food ergo the recipes, the music, the customs, maybe even a couple of French flags could help set the scene. You get my drift. . Make a list of things you LIKE, things you WANT and things you MUST HAVE. Check costs, get estimates where applicable and see whether your wants fit into your budget.

4. Now you can itemize your list, break it up into smaller portions that you can accomplish within your given time frame to achieve your wedding date comfortably.

5. Break up your small portions into … pre-wedding – actual wedding – and after wedding categories.

6. Now break up your small portions into even smaller portions and use sub categories. Include ideas for related events such as kitchen teas, showers, your wedding reception, and honeymoon.

7. YOUR wedding should reflect YOU. No one should tell you what you should have, what to do or indeed how to do it. By all means seek out ideas, ask for advice, and even find out from others what worked for them. However at the end of the day each and every decision should be yours.

8. If anyone is kind enough to offer help on your Big Day accept, accept with alacrity Accept help when it is offered and enjoy the involvement of those close to you, particularly the help and ideas that you believe will be add to the day.

9. What is special to you? For example; if you and your husband-to-be love to go skiing than maybe you could consider holding your wedding celebration at a ski resort. Make it special for you both; in a place you both enjoy; maybe you could even consider having a skiing honeymoon. Just make sure it fits your budget.

10. Personalize certain parts of your wedding and make special memories for everyone. A personal touch can make your wedding meaningful to everyone from you, the bridal couple, to all the attendants, family and invited guests.

Make your wedding a day to remember. It is a life changing and important moment in your life and as such desires the highest attention to every aspect to ensure you and your future husband's declaration of love for each other is one of great joy and high excitement. As it is really a one-of-a-kind event, fill it with beautiful moments and treasured memories. Whatever you choose, whether it is a desired theme, a particular setting or a gathering of cherished friends and family, really take pleasure in your special time. Enjoy your day!
