Is this Even Possible?
Is it even possible to plan a wedding in 30 days?
No matter how big or small your number of guests is, wedding coordinators recommend that you plan your wedding way ahead - at least 12 to 18 months before the big day. But can you really imagine spending an entire year or more obsessing over every detail concerned with your wedding day?
Why it Pays to Reduce the Number of Days Planning Your Wedding
The point of marriage, after all, is for you and your fiancé to enjoy each other to the utmost. Why spend twelve or months or so of your time bickering over the small details when you can simply alot a 30-day period to plan before you say your "I do's"?
It might prove to be a daunting challenge, but planning a wedding in 30 days is definitely doable. With a little cooperation from the groom, your parents, closest friends and relatives - you can go all-out in a wedding ceremony and reception which is planned within a 30-day period - and still come out looking like a glowing bride and having an unforgettable wedding ceremony and reception.
A Quick Guide on How to Plan a Wedding in 30 Days
So how exactly can you plan a wedding within a span of 30 days? Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
Don't set the wedding date until you have found an available venue.
Most couples opt for a church wedding then a separate reception. However, if you want a garden wedding, both the reception and the ceremony can be held in the same venue.
If you are planning a wedding in 30 days, make sure to look for an available venue first before settling for a wedding date. This is especially true if you are getting married during the peak season.
For off-season weddings - there are still a lot of options available. A late fall or winter wedding can be just as spectacular as a summer wedding - as long as you will match the décor and the food with the cold season. Again, don't set the wedding date until you have found an available venue - get married during the weekend if you need to.
Keep the number of guests low for an intimate wedding ceremony and reception.
The smaller the number of people is at your wedding, the more intimate it is. From the uttering of the wedding vows to the celebration during the after-wedding party - everything will seem to be more solemn and intimate at the same time.
Not to mention the fact that when you keep your numbers low, the planning of the wedding will be more of a breeze than a chore.
Go online!
Thanks to the proliferation of the Internet, you can now shop for wedding favors, have invitations printed out and look for wedding accessories using your laptop or desktop computer! As long as you give them a 30-day notice, you should be able to receive your orders in as little as two weeks, and they're conveniently delivered right at your doorstep.
Ask the groom, your parents and closest friends to pitch in.
Sure, you're planning a wedding within a 30-day period so there's nothing that 'grand' to expect - but it is still your special day. As such, don't carry the brunt of the tasks yourself. Assign the flower arrangement to your maid of honor, for example. The best man or the groom can coordinate who will officiate the ceremony.
Any bridesmaid who wants to pitch in can do so - and get your mum and the groom's mum to battle it out with the planning as well!
At the end of the day, all it takes is a little ingenuity, research, delegation - and okay, quite a lot of hard work - to pull off planning a wedding in 30 days. But it is doable - and you can still have an unforgettable wedding ceremony, reception, plus the photos in your wedding album to show for how beautiful and unforgettable your wedding day is.
