The A to Z Guide to Planning Your Wedding
Need a jump start on your to-do list? Take our crash course in wedding know-how-it's as easy as A-B-C!
Quiet time
Between formalwear fittings, cake tastings and worries over pulling together a guest list, wedding planning can put a serious dent in your love life. So make a point to pencil in some quiet time with your fiancé. Whether you hit a hot new restaurant, take in a movie or just share coffee and bagels over the Sunday paper, keep wedding chat to a minimum (no easy feat!) and just enjoy each other's company.
Registry
Registering for your wedding gifts has never been easier. Almost all major retailers now have full-service online registries and most brides today are registering at three stores. However, if you want a variety of items on your wish list but don't want to juggle (and send your guests to) multiple registries, then Bgregistry.com was made for you. Bgregistry.com allows you to select gifts from multiple retailers so you can add anything you want from any store to one, centralized wedding registry.
RSVP
Wondering how many of your guests are likely to RSVP "yes"? Typically, 25 to 30 percent of guests decline the invitation. But don't count on it! If your venue holds 150 people, for example, don't invite 200 and assume that 50 won't show. If you decide to enclose response cards with your invitation, they should be printed with the date to respond by, a line for guests to fill in their names and a line for them to note how many of those invited plan to attend. Give your caterer your final head count a week to several days prior to the wedding.
Save-the-date cards
These are a great way to give your guests plenty of notice about your upcoming nuptials. Save-the-date cards are mailed out six to eight months before the wedding, but can also be sent as soon as you've come up with a complete guest list and confirmed your wedding date.
Send-offs
Traditionally, wedding guests sent the newlyweds off in a shower of rice. These days, most couples have expanded on this tradition and opted for more creative options. For a special send-off, have your guests ring little silver or gold bells (yourweddingcompany.com), wave ribbon wands (jamaligarden.com,), blow bubbles (nuptialknickknacks.com) or toss pretty rose petals (petalgarden.com).
