There are some essential things you need to know prior to making plans for your wedding. However, there are other things you must be aware of. Check out these indispensable wedding planning tips if not sure if you're missing something you haven't considered.

Guests Come First

Before you choose a venue be sure to know the number of guests you plan to invite. This will ensure that you have plenty of space to accommodate everyone. A good rule of thumb is to allow 25-30 square feet per guest. It may seem like a lot but that's not the case if you take into account the space required for tables, waiters and a dance floor.

Find out the wedding blackout dates

Be aware of the possibility that your wedding date falls on the same day as a trade conference, charity walk or other local event that might impact traffic and hotel room availability. Below is a list with possible problematic wedding dates.

Be attentive to Mother Nature

Pay attention to the weather and other possible annoyances. Guests have been known to skip out early from hotter-than-hot summer tents wedding and poorly heated winter lofts. Pests can also be found in some regions in certain seasons. Think about hiring pest control tanks to reduce the amount of bugs you encounter or including bug repellent in the gift bags of guests.

Check Your Credit

Profit from the high costs of weddings by signing up for a credit or debit card that has a rewards program. Whether it gives you airline miles or fantastic discounts on purchases, transferring the wedding-related purchases onto this card can help you build up a wealth of reward points.

Pay It Forward

Do not let one vendor guide you to the next. Your wedding photographer will be able to tell you which florist's flower arrangements really make a splash. Your receptionist must also know what group is filling the dance floor regularly.

Ask and You Might Receive

You can request an extra hour of drinks or for your band to perform the Frank Sinatra sound-alike before you sign the contract. The majority of vendors would rather set up a reservation rather than to nickel and dime you (which might make you turn away). However, later on, they may be less likely to offer a compromise.

Keep Your Bar

Typically, you need one bartender per 50 guests to keep the line to an acceptable level. If you are serving a signature cocktail that isn't prepared ahead of time An additional server may be required.

Don't be afraid to inquire about things.

The chapel wedding vendors are your top trusted experts throughout the planning process. If you work with them, you should be able to explore the options is you want maybe it's serving an after-dinner snack instead of a dinner or having the bridal portraits instead of an engagement session. The main thing is that you must feel that you can have an honest conversation with them about what you're looking for. They will inform you of what's feasible based on your wedding budget.

Be realistic about your time

When you get to the end of the month plan, look over your long list of tasks and cut three things. It is possible to cut down three items. These aren't important tasks that you shouldn't do, like picking a procession song or verifying final details with your vendors. Only eliminate the tasks that are too extravagant such as hand-painting "Just Married" signs or baking cookies for all of your welcome bags. You can cross them off and then make a pledge not to think about them again.
