Let’s say your dream wedding venue has been booked up for the next 5 years? But your name is on the waiting list, so you could get a call at any time.
What if you get a call a last minute saying you got the venue, and it’s in 3 weeks from now? You’ll need to plan quickly!
First thing to do would be to hire a professional wedding planner. She or he will take care of all the details that will slip your mind.
Determine your budget since you wont have much time to save. If you are short on cash, plan a fundraising party for the next possible weekend.
Invite the guest’s as quickly as possible. Ask a friend to help you call your guest or invite them via the Internet. E- cards, email, or even facebook my friends.
Hopefully you have your dress ready, since you knew you were on a waiting list and the call could come any time. If not, go to a local store or take a day trip to find a dress. Don’t spend more then a day finding a dress, you will need the time for other things.
It’s your choice if you want your bridesmaid’s dress’s to be similar in colours and styles. You could ask your brides maids to meet you at the mall and find a store that has a wide range of sizes and style because you simply don’t have time for alterations. If this doesn’t go well, ask the brides to wear something of there own that they feel comfortable in. Choose the option that is most convenient.
The planning team will organize details like flowers, decorations, cake, food and gifts. Your job will be to make the final decision, this can be done quickly if you know exactly what you want before hand and explain it to the organizer as best as you can.
Ask your fiancé to find a suit and to organize his groom’s men’s suits.
Book your trial hair appointment for as soon as you can and book the actual appointment when you call for the trial. Decide weather or not the bridal party will be joining you at the spa and account for those appointments as well. Book nails, waxing, and tanning appointments if necessary.
Find transportation for you and your wedding party. Book a hotel for the night. And last but definitely not the least. Book a last minute getaway honeymoon.
Remember this is a milestone in your life, so have fun and enjoy your love to come.
