Re: Budgeting for Wedding
I know.. now that I think about it Im getting overwhelmed again.. even though ive been married a year.. but man the things u need to get before ur married..
make sure u pack ur night-bag way in advance.. and you have someone there to get it to the car or the hotel room.
if your having a registry.. make sure it includes the things that you KNOW your going to use.. and you let everyone coming to the wedding know that this is what you need. Sometimes when people dont know they end up giving you something that you totally cant use. Also, everyone has their own tastes wrt articles in your house
make sure your mehndi/baraat/valima joras are sent to the dry-cleaners to get ironed and garment bagged well in advance aswell.. make sure your jewellery, bangles, and toiletries are in the same garment bag. My cousin went ahead and put in 3 different kits into my garment bags for each day. They had all my jewellery, perfume, bangles, deodorant etc in it.. all in one place and that way I just dumped all the unused stuff in the same bag and sent it home :)
give your photographer time in advance for your shoots.. dont have it done after the baraat.. your all tired and frustrated from the whole days events and you tend to not look that fresh after the day is over.. get it done before so that the photo-wala can focus on the events during the event.
go for mani/ pedi's, facials and massages every month if you can.. atleast 3-4 mnths before your wedding.. that way you'll know what to expect if you get a facial done a week before your big day.
make sure you plan out the way you want your events/ day to unfold.. who enters first, who dances first etc.
... will add more if i remember something
