Here are the top questions to ask your partner before you start planning your wedding.
It's time to start planning what will be one of the best days of your life. We're so excited for you! But before you start, sit down with your partner and ask each other these questions. They'll help you discover what your ideal wedding day looks like.
1. What is most important to you on our wedding day?
Sometimes there are too many cooks in the kitchen when it comes to wedding planning. Everyone from your sibling to a distant relative wants a say. Find out what's most important to both of you before involving others. Once you figure this out, make sure you give these points special consideration when planning your perfect day.
2. What do you want our guests to remember most?
Every couple wants their guests to have an amazing experience. Ask each other what that experience is so you can focus on those parts when planning.
3. How many people do you want to invite?
Do you want a big (150-200 person), medium (100-150 person), small (50-100 person), or intimate (<50 person) wedding? Knowing the size of your wedding will help set up your budget, so it's best to figure this out right away.
4. What is our budget?
Your budget is the most important part of the wedding planning process. Every wedding decision you make will depend on your budget. That's why it's one of the first things you need to agree on before anything else. Make sure you decide on how much each of you as well as your families will contribute. You may have to crunch the numbers for a bit but you'll get to a number you're both comfortable with soon enough.
5. Where do you want to get married?
Do you want to stay local, get married on a beach, get married in your family's city, or your spouse's family's city? Deciding where to host the wedding is an important first step.
6. What do you want our wedding ceremony to look like?
One of the most important parts of a wedding is the ceremony. From religious traditions to secular celebrations, you have a lot of options. Talk about what you want your ceremony to look like and how you can make it unique to your relationship.
7. What do you want our reception to look like?
The world is your oyster when it comes to receptions. From a backyard bbq lunch to an elegant ballroom bash, anything goes. Figure out what your ideal celebration looks like.
8. What wedding styles do you like?
Having a chat about what wedding styles you like helps create a shared vision. Go on Pinterest and look up wedding decor together and narrow down looks you both like. This will save time when deciding on venues and decor items.
