WAYS TO SIMPLIFY YOUR WEDDING PLANS

 

WAYS TO SIMPLIFY YOUR WEDDING PLANS

 

  If you want a wedding with the wedding
clothes,bridesmaids,a reception and all of
that and you call it a simple wedding. Well,
you are wrong because there is no such
thing as a really simple wedding.
   A wedding can be simple,only if you
and your bride and a few friends go to the
church or court and get married and go to
dinner afterwards. Even with our wedding
plans a bit simplified,we are still feeling the
pressures of the wedding preparations. Al-
though things are definetely much easier
than they could have been.

   Well, here are some ways to overcome
stress of your wedding plans.

1. CONNECT TO ALMIGTHY GOD

 

 

 

   The bible say in psalm 127:1-2 “Except
the lord build the house, they labour in
vain that builds it; except the lord keep
the city,the watchman waketh but in vain
vs 2, it is vain for you to rise up early to
sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrow: for
so he giveth his beloved sleep”.
   It takes the help of God to scale through
the stress of planning or preparing for
your wedding. You need both the help and
direction of God to succeed in your wedd-
ing plans.

2. KEEP THE GUEST LIST SMALL

 

 

 

 

   In about 95% of our weddings, we don’t
see the reason to have a guest list. But if we
can pull this one step off, the cost for just
about everything else will go down and every-
thing will be fairly simple in comparison. I
must tell u this, “The more your guest list, the
more combasome your wedding becomes
while the lesser your guest list, the more sim-
pler your wedding becomes”.

3. KEEP THE MENU SIMPLE.

 

 

 

 

   In as much as you would like your guest to
enjoy the food, they are not coming there to
have fancy meal. Instead of having a menu
that will iclude every type of dish, why not
stick to a few main dishes and small chops.
 Two or three varieties of dishes will do for
the main meal and two or three different
foods can make up a plate of small chops.
Your guest are there to celebrate your
marriage and enjoy your company, if what
you have is not enough for them,thats its
not your problem.
4. HAVE IT CATERED

 

 

 

 

   When it comes to food, you can go two
ways... simple in terms of how much
trouble it’ll be,go with a caterer or simply
in terms of costs,have family prepare the
food.The choice is yours.
5. GET HELP AND DELEGATE

 

 

 

 

   Instead of trying to do all the prepara-
tions on your own, get the help of friends
and families,trust me,they love to help.
There are lots of little details that
needs to be taken care of and if you try to
do everything yourself, you’ll be running
around like crazy. Instead allow others to
help out, delegate certain task to them
 or better still get an event planner. It
makes things easier.
6. GO WITH THE EASIEST ATTIRE

 

 

 

 

 

   In this part of the world, people want to
show off. They want the most expensive
gown,suit,shoes,lace,bags,rings e.t.c. with-
out money and after the wedding,they run
into debts. There is a parable that says...

“life is in stages,while men are in sizes”. My
dear work according to your stage in life and
size. Choose the simplest but beautifull plans
in terms of how much work it’ll take. There
are local fashion designers that are good,
meet them to sew your gowns,suits, tradition-
al wears e.t.c. Instead of going to get foriegn
ones. go and shop in a place that is fairly in-
expensive with a pretty and classic look.We
have them all over the place.
7. FORGET FANCY INVITATION AND
     PROGRAMMES

 

 

 

 

   Wedding invitation and programmes have a
couple of different envelopes,tissue paper,so-
me other papers e.t.c. Go for the simpliest
and inexpensive ones. After all your guest are
not going to use them to eat,they are only go-
ing to throw them away after the wedding
8. DON’T TRY TO IMPRESS
    Infact,this is the key to simplifing your wed-
ding plans. If you try to impress people with
your fancy wedding,you’ll go through a lots of
trouble and expense or even fall into debts.
its really not worth it. Every one has been to
fancy weddings and while they are nice, they
last for one day and they put you deeply into
debts. So decide to rather stay out of debts,
minimize your stress levels and spend some
of the income on your honeymoon. It really
doesn’t matter to the guests whether you are
in debts or not,they are only there to celebrat-
e your marriage and don’t really care if you
are in debt or not. Its your choice.
9. FINALLY, HAVE A CO-ORDINATOR
This doesn’t have to be a fancy wedding co-
ordinator,but can simply be a famly member
or a friend who you can trust to run things ac-
cording to your plan. If you have someone els-
e taking care of all the details of the day.Then
you don’t have to worry about anything. You
can just relax and enjoy your day.
