Wedding Planning… help >_<
Hi! We got engaged in February, we waited a bit to talk to our priest just because of the Easter season and Lent, and we just got back from the first pre marital counseling session, with more set to come. Overall it sounds like we can hold our wedding in late September! I’m excited, we’re excited, but now I think it’s kinda sinking in that… oh wow we gotta plan. 😅
I’m no-contact with my side of the family (no hope of reconnecting currently, no advice is needed), and he doesn’t have a lot of people he wants to invite. Our service and reception will be at a church, so I’m having to plan for maybe 50 people max, most of them likely just other church goers because a wedding at our church is typically open invitation. I’ve never been the type to dream about a wedding and all the little details, so I have no clue what I should be paying attention to vs not!
So far as things go, we have these fully planned:
Wedding outfit, hair/makeup (I will do these myself)
Catering (neither of us are picky, it’ll likely be something like Qdoba)
Wedding cake (will bake/decorate myself)
For things not fully planned:
Photographer (we’re going to ask a fellow church member, have to make sure it’s doable)
Groom outfit (Currently looking)
Flowers (am currently looking at flower arranging classes and would like to handle myself- not sure if fake or real would be best in my situation!)
As far as invitations go… I likely would just write a few up? It wouldn’t be very many, and I know how to write in Spencerian lol.
For favors… I have no clue, is that something necessary?
Am I missing anything? Do I need to be aware of anything extra? I have no idea. Any advice helps!! 😅
