You picked a date? Perfect now you can start planning everything else right? Eh, first you need to have a few conversations. Unless you are a descendent of the Rockefeller or Vanderbilt, you will have some type of budget. It does not matter who is paying, there is always some type of budget. You also need to determine about how many guests you will be having at your wedding. You don’t HAVE to create the actual guest list right now but it helps. My guests would be at 200 MAX. Even though everyone in the wedding world says about 25% RSVP no, what if they don’t? I know some people feel that 200 is a huge wedding but I have a lot of family and my parents were footing the bill and they had friends they wanted to invite so that was my number. Absolutely no more than 200 invitations were going to be sent out and anyone who we wanted to invite after those 200 were on the B list (more about this drama in a future post). So these are 2 huge things that need to be done before you begin looking at reception venues and talking to vendors, I don’t care when or where your wedding is going to take place. You can have an absolutely gorgeous wedding at any budget! Yes any budget! So there it is recommendation #2 once you get a date, determine your budget and max guest number ASAP!
