Congratulations! You're Engaged! Now what???? 1. Share the good news  Your parents-and any children you may have from a previous
union-should hear the news first. Then comes other relatives and close
friends. Whether you do it in person or over the phone, do it yourself.
Those closest to you will no doubt be hurt to hear the news second hand.
Never announce an engagement until a former union has been dissolved,
whether by divorce or annulment. 2. Meet the parentsYour engagement should not come as a shock to your parents.
Obviously, it's a good idea to get acquainted while you're dating. Your
engagement certainly signifies a change in the relationship with your
fiancé's/fiancée's parents. Now's the time to lay the foundation for a
positive bond with your future in-laws. This is also when the parents of
the bride meet-or at least make contact with-the parents of the groom.
Traditionally, the groom's parents call the bride's parents to introduce
themselves and extend an invitation to meet. However, that first
contact can also be made by the bride's parents. 3. Make the guest list & set the budget Your budget is the determining factor for the shape, size and fanfare
of your wedding. But you cannot decide the type of wedding you will
have until you have some idea of the size of the guest list. The easiest
way to cut costs is to narrow your guest list.  4. Pick the dateThe time of year you have your wedding is a key consideration. The
most popular months for weddings are June, September, August, May,
October and July. Popular wedding sites will be at a premium in terms of
availability and cost during these times. Those who want an outdoor
wedding will want to be married in the warmer months. If guests will
have to travel to attend your wedding, you'll want to select a date
that's convenient for traveling. 5. Don't forget the three C's Not clarity, cut or color. We're talking about consideration,
communication and compromise. How you handle your wedding plans can
foretell how you will handle the other major decision of your life
together. Along with the stress that will accompany the big decisions
and little details should be a sense of adventure and fun. You are
celebrating one of the most joyous milestones in your lives. Do so with a
focus on consideration, communication and compromise and the process is
sure to be smoother. We are here to help you. This is YOUR Wedding Day. Our team is looking forward to helping you any way we can. Contact one of our area Planners today. Now booking 2011weddings. Source: Emily Post |
