Although this year's active wedding season is still in full swing, those couples who will celebrate their wedding in 2020 have already actively started preparing. If one thinks that there is still a lot of time, then it should be noted that if the plan is to get married on one of the popular dates or weekends next year, many venues may already be booked. If you've decided to say yes to each other during next year's busy wedding season, here's a list of things you should get done very soon.

Most popular dates

In the summer of next year, one of the most popular wedding dates will definitely be 20.06.2020. Since it is Saturday, a large part of the celebration places and service providers are already booked.

Therefore, if you have planned to say yes on June 20 next year, you should hurry up and settle the organizational issues, including the choice of the ceremony and celebration venue, as well as the wedding organizer, wedding photographer, decorator, videographers - these are all positions that are booked well in advance, especially if you want to hire one of the TOP service providers for your wedding. Of course, if you choose a weekday as your wedding day, many more service providers will be available at this time.

Organizing pre-wedding parties

It might seem too soon to start organizing pre-wedding parties this summer, which are planned for next summer, but there are situations and party concepts that need to be planned as soon as possible. This mostly applies to those parties planned outside of Latvia. If you want to go on a trip with the bride or groom, then the planning process should start early.

1. First of all, all potential party participants should be identified;
2. Second, time and financial investment must be coordinated (the more people, the more difficult it will be to agree on these issues);
3. Thirdly, you should buy air tickets or a travel offer from a travel agency. Although there is still a lot of time until the summer of next year, it should be taken into account that the closer the planned time is, the more expensive the trip will be;
4. You should also not underestimate people's different personalities - it will take time until all party members agree on the destination, the travel concept, and other more important and less important issues.

Wedding budget

Another big question in wedding planning is the budget. If the wedding will take place in the summer of next year, then this remaining year is a great time to plan your wedding budget, make additional savings, and gradually make some larger or smaller payments related to the wedding each month. In this way, the cash flow will be spent gradually, and the couple will not feel like they have to pay for something constantly for a month before the wedding.

The date must be announced to the guests in time

Of course, not all wedding planning issues have to be settled a year before the wedding. Sewing or buying a wedding dress can be postponed, just like ordering a wedding cake , making invitations , all kinds of paperwork and other matters.

However, in order to be sure that the guests will be free on your wedding day and will not have planned a vacation or other activities, it is advisable to inform the guests of your wedding date in advance by sending "save the date" cards, or inviting them to reserve the desired date.
