If you are planning a wedding, or if you have been given the responsibility of coordinating a wedding, you should know that the success of the wedding greatly relies on you. This is not to intimidate you, but to make you know the seriousness attached to this responsibility. Some of the tips that will help you in coordinating a wedding are:
Start Early
If you already have a wedding date, start with the planning immediately. Things like booking the venue, sending the invites, and knowing what is on the menu should start immediately. Do not wait until the last minute, as you will get overwhelmed and you may end up feeling stressed and ruining the wedding.
Have a Plan
It is one thing to start early, but you also need to have a plan on what you intend to do on a specific day. Having a plan makes your coordination more structured. It is by looking at your plan that you will notice when something is missing, or what you should prioritise in the timeline that you have. To come up with a plan, list down all the things you are supposed to do and then slot a time duration on when you are to complete them.
Anticipate Hurdles/Challenges
The simple truth is that coordinating a wedding can be challenging. Do not expect everything to go as smoothly as you want. There will be many unanticipated changes in plans that you need to be ready for. There can be things like vendors not cooperating, challenges in finding the venue, and other services. You should not let these hurdles slow you down or make you get stressed. Learn to take one day at a time, and be ready to make necessary adjustments within a short time and continue with the wedding coordination.
