Take Control Of That Special Day With A Printable Wedding Planner

By Joyce Bell


There was a time when all weddings pretty much looked the same. As time progressed, more bridegrooms began to tailor their special day to personal interests. When it comes to visual theme, location, or even the type of food being served to guests, there are no limitations as to what is right. However, it is safe to say that the more details involved, the more likely a printable wedding planner can help things go smoothly.

Planning comes easier for some people than it does others but if the couple has other obligations, such as work or school, making plans can be a bit much. When it comes to recording details, having a list or two handy can make the difference when making reservations or making a deposit on an important item. Even if the ceremony and reception are simple, having something written down can save a headache.

The way these planners work is to write down a budget and stick to it. A good planner will allow room for the bride to write down estimates for the many areas of the ceremony. Costs of gowns, ceremony fees, event space, and other details are areas that can be negotiated, in many cases. One thing that helps is for the couple to have a good visual of what they want before calling anyone.

While most have come to rely on bridal magazines, many are finding that reality television shows or streaming videos can be another source of ideas. Merchant websites are another place to collect and print screenshots, as well as request a catalog. Most planners have a section where a scrapbook selections may be added.

Planners are also great for keeping a timeline of events and ensuring that nothing lapses, which may result in additional fees. The more details a wedding day has, the longer the timeline because of the other parties involved. Though it may be impossible as the day draws near, having alternate supplier contact information will help in case the original choice falls through, or expectations are not met.

Monitoring the budget is often the focus of any wedding, as the bridegroom usually wants to get the best experience for their money. When it comes time to cut back, most look to the guest list since the number of people expected normally determines the final cost. If this is not an option, one way is to see if one space may be used to have the wedding and reception.

Not using an event planning service gives the bridegroom a great amount of control over their special day. They can take as much time as they need to screen caterers, evaluate ceremony and reception spaces, and test out suppliers that were recommended by an outside source.

While weddings can be a beautiful event, some may cause a couple to go into debt that may take time to resolve. The best method is to be realistic as to what is needed and keep communication open from the first contact. It also helps to read contracts carefully to ensure that both parties have a mutual understanding of what is to be expected.
