Wedding Planning Checklist

ךבלל A BRIEF HISTORY AND PLANNING GUIDE FOR YOUR WEDDING with ROCO THE HISTORY OF THE TRADITION MARRIAGE HAS BEEN A LONG STANDING TRADITION FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS, BUT IT'S NOT ALWAYS BEEN AS WE KNOW IT TODAY. IN MORE BARBARIC TIMES OF THE PAST, THE GROOM WOULD "STEAL" THE BRIDE AND PAY THE FATHER A RANSOM. THANKFULLY THAT'S NO LONGER THE CASE. MANY OF TODAY'S WEDDING TRADITIONS CAN BE TRACED BACK TO ANCIENT CUSTOMS. THESE WERE OFTEN DUE TO SUPERSTITION AND RELIGION, FOR INSTANCE, THE BOUQUET WAS ORIGINALLY MADE OF STRONG HERBS TO FRIGHTEN AWAY EVIL SPIRITS. NOWADAYS THESE TRADITIONS ARE MORE OF A FUN CUSTOM TO KEEP UP, WHO KNOWS, THEY MIGHT EVEN WORK! 1. START A WEDDING FOLDER 12 + months NOT THE BEST PART OF PLANNING A WEDDING, BUT ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT >> 2. WORK OUT YOUR BUDGET - GIVE THIS THE ATTENTION IT DESERVES! 4. START THE GUEST LIST 3. PICK YOUR WEDDING PARTY WRITE EVERYONE YOU AND YOUR PARTNER CAN THINK OF, THEN DECIDE YOU WHO REALLY WANT TO COME. ALTHOUGH BRUTAL, THE BEST WAY TO CUT COSTS IS TO REDUCE THIS LIST. 9 months 5. ENGAGEMENT PARTY! 6. RESERVE THE VENUE 7. HIRE THE CATERERS 8. HIRE THE PHOTOGRAPER 6 months A SUMPTUOUS BIT OF WORK TO GET DONE.
