Wedding Tips I

#1 Miss organize
On my wed-prep, I‘ve transformed into a ‘Miss organise
-freak’.
But really…at the end that’s what it takes to prepare a wedding without the helpful
yet costly wedding organizer. If you really can’t afford one, then be one.
Here’s a simple idea, what I did was preparing the two most important things:
a. A complete table of
myour wedding schedule which contain the things-to-do-list for our wedding (i.e. January doing this, February doing that…etc); and
b. A list of vendor and their fees and do not forget…their details of address and phone number and name of person that you can feel free to terrorized every time panic decided to drop by.

#2 Less bossy least firm
No one likes a bossy bride and groom to be…not even the vendors! so careful there...
True, its your money and your big day…but still, people would feel more happy to offer you their open hands if you’re less bossy.
Being bossy and being a bridezilla is waaaayyyy different
Buuutttt…you also have to be firm at the same time. If you already have this so-called-a-perfect-wedding-plan in your head
, well don’t be too soft and nice…if you know what I mean…

#3 Don’t listen to people too much
Keep in mind that you want this to be YOUR once-in-a-life-time-perfect-wedding.
You have to welcome suggestion(s) and shared experience(s), especially from the elders. You really don’t wanna hurt their feelings (and its really a big NO)

However, you must know when and what to listen and when to ignore.

#4 Keep it together
Wedding preparation is the best moment for a family and friends gathering. You will feel a lot closer to them more than ever and at the end you might even feel really thankful for having them as a part of your life.

#5 Flirt with your vendors
Hihihi this is a skill that I just learnt and it worked perfectly with my caterer and photographer.
Speak highly of your vendors and don’t forget to say that you only have limited budget and that you can’t turn away to other vendors because you’re madly in love with their products (yerr rite!!!).
Either out of pity or they’re desperately competing for customer, they will eventually give you a good price hehehe…In summary, Lick some ass!!!!
