Organizing a wedding in a short period of time is certainly not an easy task, especially if you and your partner intend to make all your dreams come true in just three months. Below, you will find some steps for the perfect wedding reception organization!
Wedding Venue
If we can give you a small piece of advice when planning your special day, it's best to start with the wedding venue. By choosing the ideal wedding venue and considering the number of guests, you can proceed with the other preparations such as catering and decoration. Researching the venue that will host your love is more complex than you might imagine, so make sure you and your partner have set some standards first. For example, the wedding venue you choose should have a chapel or an outdoor space for the reception.
Invitations & RSVPs
Once you’ve settled on the wedding venue, send out the invitations immediately and choose a trusted person to monitor the guest list and RSVPs. However, if you prefer a more modern and automated process, you can create a digital invitation where your guests can confirm their attendance.
Wedding Dress & Suit
Don't forget that you are the stars of the evening, and surely the shine of the wedding dress you choose will elevate your happiness! Don't waste time and start looking for the ideal wedding dress for you, as it may take more time than you think. The choice of the wedding dress and the groom's suit should match the wedding theme you choose to achieve the perfect result.
Decoration & Party
Every wedding is a huge party, and from a proper party, good music, catering, decoration, and a photographer to capture every moment should not be missing. Start by choosing the wedding decoration and the flowers that will adorn the reception area. Before contacting a decorator or a DJ, make sure they are not included in the services of the venue you have chosen.
2 Months Before the Wedding
Perhaps the most important priorities are almost settled, and now it’s time to focus on the details that will make your wedding day unique.
Catering
This is certainly not a simple decision. To choose the wedding catering, you need to have an approximate idea of the number of guests attending the reception, as prices per person vary. Additionally, you need to consider the dietary habits and special needs of your guests to ensure there are options for everyone. You should also decide whether there will be a buffet, individual servings, or platters and how these will be served to the guests.
Before deciding on the party drinks and wedding cocktails, discuss with the venue if there is a bar and how you can utilize it. Even if there isn’t one, renting a van bar that will add a unique touch to the reception is always a safe option.
Last but not least:
• Marriage Licenses
• Plan and enjoy the bachelorette and bachelor parties organized by your best men and friends
• Choosing shoes, jewelry, and accessories
• Bridal makeup and hair

In any case, remember that both the wedding venue and the partners you have chosen, such as the photographer, catering, etc., have the experience to help you handle any mishap together!
