  • Start a wedding folder

This is when you start looking through bridal and lifestyle magazines for inspiration and theme to your wedding

  • Work out your budget

Sit down and talk to your partner on how much both of you are comfortable with spending, based on families’ contributions and own. Decide who will be paying for what. More information on wedding dowry here.

  • Pick your wedding party

This is where you decide who would be your maid of honor, best man, bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girl and ring bearer

  • Start the guest list

Create a database to be used throughout the planning. Insert columns for contact info, RSVPs, gift and other information

  • Hire a planner, if you want too

A planner will reduce your workload and will have contacts for most of the vendors

  • Decide on the date and book the venue
