Once the big question is popped and the ring is sparkling on the bride-to-be’s left hand, the couple’s families and friend may want to join in on the celebration. Engagement parties are a great way for family and friends to get together and congratulate the soon-to-be husband and wife. These parties are usually thrown by the bride’s family and take place in the evening as a cocktail party. It is important that the guests who attend the engagement party are also invited to the wedding to avoid any hurt feelings.After the engaged couple has announced the news of their upcoming nuptials, and they have been thrown an engagement party, the wedding planning can begin. Some brides will plan the entire affair alone; some will choose to plan with the help of family and friends, while others will enlist the help of a professional wedding planner.
Wedding planning can begin with choosing a professional wedding planner or it can start with the purchase of a wedding planning book. Either way, research is required. Web sites, books, and magazines can help with the research process. There are countless publications online and in print that specialize in assisting with this process.
A bridal fair is also a great place to research and plan a wedding. Bridal fairs are usually thrown annually during the spring season in larger cities across the country. At a bridal fair a prospective bride can make important connections in photography, wedding venues, cakes, and clothing. A bride may also be able to find a great stationary company at a bridal fair. Stationary companies are an ideal place to purchase wedding invitations, thank-you cards, and save-the-date cards.
There are many designs and styles to choose from in invitations and save-the-date cards. The new trend is refrigerator magnets. These cards keep guests on alert to be available on the date of the wedding and they are traditionally sent out four months prior to the wedding date. On the other hand, wedding invitations are usually sent out approximately two months before the big day.
In addition to the above activities a bride and groom need to remember to focus on many other aspects of the wedding planning process, including but not limited to: choosing their bridal party, the wedding attire for men and women, and completing a bridal registry.
Often the wedding planning is a task that is too large for just the bride and the groom. This is when the bride’s mother, sister, and friends come in handy. Frequently, the groom’s mother will also be willing to assist in the planning process. With the extra help the bride and groom can focus on their big day with less stress and worry.
