If you just got engaged, congratulations! It's quite normal to start thinking about wedding plans immediately, even before announcing the good news to friends and family.
Here's a little secret: you don't have to rush things! Now is the time to enjoy your moment and share your excitement with your loved ones. If you've already started getting your mind crowded, here are five wedding tasks you don't have to start right away:
Buying Your Wedding Gown
Unless there's a date set for your wedding (that's close), don't rush to get your wedding gown. Instead, take the time to browse websites, social media and inspirational apps like Pinterest for themes, styles and colours you'd like.
Picking Bridesmaids Dresses
Bridesmaids dresses are usually in sync with your wedding gown. Since your bridesmaids' outfits also depend on colours, wedding themes and styles, you should only focus on it after you have made your final decision on your wedding dress.
Planning Your Honeymoon
Starting honeymoon plans immediately after the engagement isn't necessary. Rather, work out your planning during your wedding plans, especially if you'd like to go on a honeymoon after your wedding ceremony.
Planning Your Guest List
Rather than list out all the friends and enemies that you plan on inviting, use this time to set up a budget. Your budget will help you determine the number of guests you can invite to your wedding.
Buying/Renting Small Decor Items
Hold off on buying decorative items like flowers or wedding favours until you have made a final decision on the venue and getting vendors. If you're excited about getting these items, work with your wedding planner on venue colours and themes.
Choosing Aso-Ebi
It's exciting to have guests dressed in the same Aso-Ebi outfit. However, ensure that you have finalised everything personal to you first, before making plans for Aso-Ebi outfits.
Getting engaged is a beautiful feeling, and you must make sure you enjoy every moment of it. While it's normal to want to start planning right away, take a moment to pause and breathe in the excitement.
