Wedding planning becomes much less stressful if it involves communication and a good direction from the beginning. It is far better to sit down and pre-plan a checklist and budget before you make decisions on anything. If you can start the process off with the checklist and budget, then there will be much less stress and you will not have to get so overwhelmed.

Money is important and too many couples begin the process without the budget and checklist. And they find out later that having an all out everything wedding, can end up starting their marriage in the red. And it is hard to make great plans if money is a concern. Also, if you can start your wedding planning well in advance, it will help to save money and also help it to be less stressful.

It is really easy to get excited about the big day and spend a bulk of the budget on decorations and later find there is not enough money in the end for all the other vendors. So be careful of this. The most important thing to remember is that this day is special and really about celebrating the marriage. Try to not compete with other couples and their weddings.

Some brides choose to have their wedding at the home of the parents or other family member to cut down on cost, while others choose the traditional church and reception hall or hotel for the reception.

If you do choose to have it at a private home, remember the logistics of having the ceremony at the same location as the reception. Things will be getting under way for the reception while the ceremony is still under way. Some homes are not set up for these two events to take place very easily. There should be a place where your guest can mingle before the ceremony and before the reception so as not to be underfoot for the transformation.

If you choose to not have it at home, the cost may be less if you choose the wedding and reception at the same location. Also when selecting a menu, consider a less expensive and simpler menu over the more expensive and elaborate menu.

This event will most likely be the most important or one of the most important events you will have in your life, so if you are in the process of planning your wedding, try to have the plan outlined before you start the book the vendors and events . If it is less stressful, you will be able to really enjoy your wedding planning process.
