Tricks are possible and even desirable not only in card games, but also in wedding planning. Tricks that, knowing and practicing, there is a good chance that the wedding planning process will be much easier than it might seem at first.

LĪGAVĀM reminds us of several golden rules that are definitely worth knowing for those couples who are currently committed to a big for event planning.

Listen to mother nature

Before choosing a place for the wedding ceremony and celebration, it is good to listen to mother nature and roughly understand what could be the approximate weather to decide in favor of an outdoor ceremony or nevertheless indoors. If it seems that Latvian summers are unpredictable in terms of weather, then you have to make a decision yourself.

Could rain and humidity bother you? If the answer is "no" and you still want an outdoor wedding, then go for it!

Ask questions about the location of the wedding ceremony

Once the right place for the wedding ceremony has been found, several questions should be clarified, including when the decorators will be able to start work. On the other hand, if the wedding takes place in a church, then you must find out what will happen in it beforehand, so that it doesn't happen a situation where it is not possible to decorate the place in time.

Don't be afraid to ask for advice

It has long been known that the best advertising is word of mouth, so don't be afraid to ask for recommendations at weddings service providers. Allows, for example, the wedding photographer to take the real musicians, and the musicians to caterers.

Probably no one else attends as many weddings as the wedding industry themselves, so often they too will be the best advisors.

Smaller guest list - more savings

Let's be honest - one of the most effective ways to reduce the wedding budget is to reduce the guest list. Often on even 100 euros and more can be spent per guest, so exclude 10 people from the guest list (who are probably we also want to invite only out of courtesy) the savings will be already 1000 euros.

Creating a guest list is often one of the biggest challenges for couples - it could be made easier also prioritizing guests, i.e. listing those people without whom your wedding is truly unimaginable and those who may not be on the guest list.

Do everything in order

When there are many things to do, one of the most important prerequisites is not to do everything at the same time, but do things in order. This will not only prevent ill-considered decisions, but also the so-called snowballs effect , when one work drives another, as a result of which none is done qualitatively, creating a redundant anxiety.

Need precise directions or trusted person

To avoid wedding guests calling a few days before the wedding to ask questions like going to for the place of the ceremony and others, you need to take care of an accurate map posted on the Internet or issued in advance together with an invitation or a trusted person who will be able to answer all these questions and anxious guest calls to listen

There are countless aspects on the wedding day that you need to think about or find someone to take care of them, because from out of the blue nothing happens.

Take care of the details

When planning the wedding day, you also need to think about the details and things that will make the day even more special. One of wedding details have the praised and praised guest book.

"If a couple simply puts an empty guest book on the table, it will hardly fill up quickly.

We need to find more original and creative ways that will fascinate the guests. A better way would be to create a guest book with different ones questions and set aside space, for example, for pasting Polaroid or photo booth photos.

Guests must be motivated", advises wedding organizer Inga Bērziņa / BANNTÉ .

Know your wedding guests

In order to avoid awkward situations during the evening, you should get to know your wedding guests, for example, before planning to throw the bouquet at the wedding, you must make sure that all the invited guests are not already married, otherwise the host of the evening will call everyone to meet may be out of place for unmarried girls.

Who will take care of the belongings?

The wedding day / night is over and the question remains, who will collect all the belongings? The decorator will take his stuff, but be sure to delegate someone to pick up the guestbook, gifts, flowers, and more. It seems goes without saying, but not all couples remember this.
