A Wedding Checklist Before You Head To El Paso Bridal Showcase

So your wedding is coming up in days, weeks, months...well there is something you should always do, a beginning  CHECKLIST and wedding planning timelines is essential, get more detail at the El Paso Bridal Showcase!

I was never a list guy, BUT I sure AM now and the start came when i got hitched!  Of course there are things you need and don't.  Example, if your are not having a florist cause you have this awesomely talented FRIEND who has a green thumb and they will be creating boutonnieres, bouquets, and more, then of course no need to book florist 6 months in advance.

I have our old list somewhere, but what i remember

WHEN YOU 1ST GET ENGAGED:

• What are your wedding goals
• Do you have a theme or style for your special day
• Create that infamous BUDGET
• Figure on how many friends and family will be helping out with the event
• Wedding party, yay or nah?

After getting engaged:

• LOOK and BOOK your wedding venue
• Decide on ceremony and reception times
• GUEST LIST(you will pull your hair out)
• Look for vendors that don't come with venue
• Who is going to be in your wedding

6 to 8 months out:

• Start the website or Facebook page for wedding
• send out your SAVE the DATES
• Get other vendors you may have forgotten
