Benefits
To Planning Your Own Wedding
There are many benefits and reasons why planning
your own wedding would be the best idea. Weddings are costly enough
without having to dish more money out to a stranger on
top of everything else. Not to mention you might not
be having a huge wedding and the details are easy or
the opposite, it is huge and you can’t afford any extra
expense. Many women enjoy not having to deal with the
details, but many more women feel better knowing exactly
what is going on and when, so they don’t have to stress.
So what are some good reasons? Because you want to that
is the best reason of all. After all, it is YOUR wedding!
Here are five more reasons to consider it.
It
is less expensive. There is a huge fee for a wedding planner
or consultant. What ever you spend, they get between 10-15
% as your pay. If it is under their minimal rate, then they
might not want to have you as a client. They might try to make
you go more expensive, or charge you their minimal fee amount.
A simple wedding costing $4000-$7000 would run you another
$400-$700 in fees. That is two tickets somewhere for your honeymoon.
Plus the more they plan and do for you, the more they can include
as your cost and in turn fee.
You
know exactly what you like, want, hate, or need. If you
are picky and only like certain shades of certain colors and
already have the perfect scheme and image in your mind, then
doing it yourself is the best plan. That way if you find that
your plans are slightly changing, it is at your discretion
and not by someone else. This way if you can’t have the EXACT
color of flowers or the type you want, you can make the decision
on whether it is the color or type that are most important
to you right then and there. No phone calls or extra trips
needed. Maybe your wedding is casual or not traditional, so
the things you want to do are easily planned yourself to make
sure they are what you want.
Your wedding
is huge and the cost of the wedding planner would be almost
like having two weddings. You might
have 300 guests
and $9000 dress that you are already in debt for, why add more.
As long as you are organized, then there is no reason why you
won’t know exactly how many people will be there and what you
will need. If you need help, that is what your fiancé,
mother, mother-in-law, bridesmaids, and friends are for. Most
anyone close to you will be willing to help. Especially moms
are willing to go all out and do anything to be involved, and
they are free.
Your
wedding is small and easy to plan. If you are just having
a few close friends and family to a small ceremony or getting
married at the courthouse, then this should be easy to plan.
Your biggest questions will be where to hold the reception,
if you are having one, and what to feed everyone. Just look
for a hall that has a bar so people can get drinks and provide
platters or food or a small-catered meal. It is easy enough
and the planning part will be fun and give you memories. Maybe
you have decided to elope and the only expense you have is
your dress, his tuxedo, the justice of the peace or notary
public, and the cost of the location you have chose. You wouldn’t
need much help planning that.
There are many advantages to planning your own wedding. With
all of the resources available through magazines, books and
the Internet, you can easily find ways to plan your own wedding.
Most people have the same resources as the big priced wedding
consultants, so take advantage of those opportunities. In addition,
if you plan in advance, you can take your time and visit wedding
shows. There are many vendors willing to give discounts and
advice to those planning their own wedding. Planning your wedding
should be fun and stress-free. When you do it yourself, you
know that you are getting exactly what you want.
