Tips to make wedding planning easier

Take the cue of checklists

You are most likely to be clueless about what to plan and how to plan! Hence, take cues from the ultimate wedding checklist to get a know-how of what all needs to be done and when!

Create a timeline

Whether your wedding is merely 3 months away or you have the time of an entire year, create a planning timeline as soon as you get engaged. Create a column for every month leading up to the wedding and slot each month with tasks based on what needs to happen when. Maintaining this timeline-cum-checklist will ensure that your wedding planning is flowing smoothly.

Go digital to stay organized

Indian wedding planning is witnessing a dynamic shift and unsurprisingly, people are switching to digital wedding planning tools. So, bid bye to the random paper checklists and switch to Google docs and sheets. You can even create a special email Id dedicated to your wedding and keep everyone in the loop. Going digital will not only help you stay organized but also ensure easy access to everyone who is involved in your wedding planning. After all, it is important for others to have the important vendor numbers and access to your plan details since you can’t be running around on your wedding day.

You can even use any mobile app that offers wedding planning assistance.

Delegate the duties

It is important to delegate duties to your responsible friends and family when you are not hiring a wedding planner. Assign each of them with a different set of duties to ensure that there are no last minute panics. And oh, document it all on your digital planning lists too.

Set a fixed budget and prioritize

Almost every Indian wedding is planned on a fixed budget, but only a few of them are successfully executed in that predicted budget. Most of them witness an exceeded splurge of around 20%, but it is important for you to realize that the process of wedding planning gets way easier when you abide by the budget. So, prioritize and divide the expenses wisely. Focus on the things that matter to you the most. For instance, if you don’t want to compromise on the decor, rent your wedding lehenga and jewellery to stick to the budget. Also, jot down all the possible expenses (including favors, giveaways, venues, catering, jewellery, gifts, etc.) and set a prospect budget for each of them.
