Post wedding plans cannot be avoided in order to ensure a successful wedding. Here are some of the most important of all post wedding plans:

• Planning your honeymoon
• Planning the reception
• Planning an after party
• 
  

For the perfect honeymoon experience, make sure you plan and make all the reservations well in advance, picking a place where both of you are bound to enjoy. Check your passport and visa statuses in advance, in case of foreign travel.

Wedding receptions are almost as important as the wedding itself. The theme is usually in sync with the wedding theme and is kept a formal event.  This is where the newly-wed couple interacts with the guests, so make sure the seating arrangement is spread out for easy mobility of the guests and keep the music subtle, so that the guests can chat easily.

After parties are a more recent tradition, started to extend the wedding celebrations a bit more. An after party may be formal or casual. People usually prefer a more casual theme, as a break from the formal setting of the rest of the wedding. These can be properly organised cocktail parties, or simply a booze party at a local pub. Either way, these parties are meant for the guests and the new couple to drink, let loose and have some unbridled fun. Either ways, you must book the place in advance, to avoid running around town to find a party spot on the night of the after party.

Some couples may also like to send out thank you cards to all the guests for their gifts and wishes. For this, you will have to buy the necessary stationary and post the cards after signing them/writing in them, as soon as possible, after the wedding.

Planning a wedding is an extremely elaborate process. Once you decide upon the date and venue and post all the invites, the real planning starts. Having a perfect wedding entails having perfect plans in place to ensure everything on the main day goes as smoothly as possible and that all the arrangements are perfect. Here are some points one mustn’t overlook while planning:

• Pick flowers for bouquets and corsages for everyone who is a part of your wedding. Also,flowers will be needed to decorate the venue andalso as centre pieces for tables, as per budget. Ensure that the flower scheme is in sync with your chosen theme for the wedding.
• Hire a good photographer and videographer to capture those magic moments forever. Go for someone reputed, preferably with a team to ensure no moment is missed out.

• Pick a good catering service for the reception. The menu can also be coordinated with your theme.
• Order your wedding cake from a baker well in advance and schedule delivery at least 5 hours before the wedding to avoid any delays.
• Similarly, book your limo or other car (if needed) well in advance. You may opt for decorating the same.
• Music at the ceremony and reception are very important. You may go in for your favourite band or even try out with a DJ. If possible, try to include them in the rehearsal dinner.
• No wedding is imaginable without the perfect wedding attire. Both the bride and groom should have their respective clothes in order at least a week before the wedding, leaving ample time for any last minute alterations.
• As receiving gifts is an integral part of the wedding journey, the couple may register with one or more stores, thus ensuring you get what you both need and want.
• Have all your vows and speeches ready.

These tips cover most of the things that go into making your wedding day glitch-free.

Weddings are one of the biggest events in any person’s life. An even of such significance requires a lot of planning, done in advance and efficiently. There are so many things that need to be taken care of before your big day. So, here is a guide on how and where to start this planning process:

Fixing the budget

The most rudimentary step in planning a wedding is to decide a budget, an estimate of how much you are willing to spend for the entire event, including the reception, honeymoon, gifts, etc. You can fix an upper limit on your expenditure at this stage, which you cannot afford to cross.

The wedding date

Once the budget is fixed, choose dates for the wedding. This has to be matched with the location where you want the wedding and reception to take place. Dates may be chosen as per your choice or in accordance with availability of the venue. Choosing a weekend date makes it easier for all your guests to attend, even for those coming from out of town.

Sending the invites

You must print and post the invites to all your friends and family. To ensure maximum attendance, try to send your invites at least 8 weeks in advance. Ask them to RSVP so that you have a general idea of how many people to make arrangements for.

The engagement ring

For those of you without ancestral rings, make sure you buy the perfect wedding ring for your bride/groom. Do this, well in advance so that there is ample time to make any changes if necessary.

Choosing the Wedding Theme

No wedding nowadays happens without a proper theme. Themes for weddings involve everything from clothes and decorations to food, gifts and music. So, choose the theme for your wedding so that further planning can be carried out on these lines.
