The Ultimate Checklist to Help You Get Started in Planning!
Congratulations! You just said “YES” to the love of your life, and now the exciting journey of wedding planning begins. While it’s tempting to dive headfirst into Pinterest boards and cake tastings, taking a strategic approach will help ensure a smooth and enjoyable process. To help you get started, we’ve put together a simple, stress-free wedding planning checklist that lays the foundation for a seamless wedding planning experience.
The First Steps: Your Wedding Planning Checklist
1. Set Your Guest Count
Before choosing a venue or setting a budget, estimate how many guests you plan to invite. This will help you narrow down your venue options and determine how much you’ll need to allocate for catering, rentals, and seating arrangements.
Pro Tip: Create a preliminary guest list with your partner and key family members to ensure everyone’s priorities are considered.
2. Establish Your Budget
Money conversations may not be the most romantic part of getting engaged, but they are essential. Determine how much you’re willing to invest in your wedding and identify the major cost factors, such as venue, catering, photography, and floral design.
Pro Tip: If you’re unsure where to start, Hummingbird Events & Design can guide you through budget planning to maximize your spending while maintaining a luxurious experience.
3. Decide on a Venue Style
Your venue sets the tone for your entire wedding, so consider your aesthetic and guest experience when making your decision. Do you want a sleek, modern loft? A beachfront ceremony? A charming estate? The choice is yours!
Pro Tip: Book your venue early—many popular locations fill up fast, especially during peak wedding seasons.
