There are so many benefits. Beside providing yourself with a different wedding experience compared to your friends who have the ordinary weddings, I’m confident that your guests would have thoroughly enjoyed your special wedding.

You can also immediately have your honeymoon while your guests would be able to go for a short getaway on the cruise ship.

Hey! The night is still young after the wedding party and there are many options for a wild night get away before you retire to your room to rest.

Learning about wedding planning has always been steep. The learning curve is really steep.

It is just like giving you a text-book for a new module and wanting you to sit for exam in 3 months’ time.

Everything is hasty. Time is short. And there is so much to learn. And the worst thing is that we do not know what we don’t know.

I know you need to work, some need to study and others need to take up 2 jobs at least for financial reasons.

Planning your own wedding in the near future and still clueless of what to do?

You have tried asking around from married couples and got confused by the many things they have shared with you.

And you are not using a wedding planner. Then you probably need to know how to plan your own wedding.

Here are 5 thing to consider when planning your own wedding.

Season

One of the first tasks that you should remember to do when you are planning a wedding is what time of year you want to get married. Knowing this could dictate many other decisions that you need to make. For example, if you are planning to tie the knots in the summer you can probably plan for an outdoor wedding. Of course, if you are wanting to get married in the fall or winter, an outdoor wedding would not be possible.

You may also want to consider the pros and cons. If you are planning in a holiday season, your guests will most probably be away for their holidays. To avoid this, give them at least half a year advance notice.

Venue

As stated before, once you feel like you have a wedding date in mind, you can start to narrow down where you would like to hold your wedding. Today, many people are moving away from tradition times where people got married in the church. There a few choices. Some may choose to be married in other places or even overseas. They are called destination weddings.

Also, many people are choosing to get married in the same venue where they are holding the reception. This is great for out of town relatives who may get lost in transit on the way to the reception. Plus, having the functions in the same place save you alot of logistic and commuting problems.

Guests
How many guests will you be expecting? Or how many guests can you afford to invite? This determines the size of venue you need. If you are inviting just family members and a small group of close friends and relatives, you may need a smaller wedding venue compared to one which has to accomodate a few hundred guests.
