1. Initial Engagement News Release - Parents and Close Friends
Don't let the parents be the last to know. As excited as you are to alert the world to your engagement news, they should be told first and in person if at all possible. As far as tradition goes, the bride's parents usually find out before the groom's, but nothing need be too exact here. You might even share the news with both sets of parents at the same time. Close friends come next, and usually these friends include likely candidates for best man, maid of honor, and other wedding attendants.
2. Formal Engagement Announcement
After parents and friends know, you can then formally announce your great news. This can be done in the form of a wedding website, announcements mailed to friends and family, and/or in printed form such as in a local newspaper.
3. Save the Date
Set the date for the wedding as soon as possible because leaving this undecided can hamper many other aspects of event planning. Once the date is decided, you might consider sending out Save the Date cards to avoid a conflict with someone else's ceremony. You can find Save the Date cards at numerous stationery shops online, suited to just about any wedding theme.
4. Choose a Ceremony Tone
You need to decide if the ceremony will be casual, themed, or formal. What you decide here affects many other aspects of the wedding such as decorations, venue, dress, food, music, and reception. For example if you are planning a multicultural Latin reception, a Latin wedding DJ will be a good choice for the entertainment. A good Latin wedding DJ usually offers a blend of different music styles, so you can opt for a multicultural blend at your reception.
5. Set a Budget
Once you set a budget, you need to stick to it. Funds often come from money saved, a short term loan, and contributions from family. It is best to avoid going into long term debt for a wedding, especially because young couples usually argue more about money than any other topic. You can plan a memorable wedding without spending a fortune just with careful planning and sensible decisions.
6. Entertainment
When choosing a wedding DJ for your reception, you'll want someone who is knowledgeable of the style of music you want at your reception, specially if you are having a multicultural Latin wedding. The DJ company you chose should have the experience to host a multicultural event so you end up with a music style and blend everyone will enjoy.
These are just a few beginning tips for planning your wedding. You'll need to choose attendants, select a venue for the wedding and reception, and narrow down things such as food, catering and decorations. Next there are dresses and accessories to select, flowers, tuxedos, the honeymoon, and party favors and gifts.
Don't get overwhelmed, ask for help when needed, and most of all have fun and be happy! It is your very own special event so enjoy it!
