While there have been massive lockdowns nationwide (and abroad) and social gathering restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic, many couples who’ve planned for months, or even years, are searching for ways to find a way forward or plan ahead for possible postponements.
To help you out and to keep you inspired, we’ve put together these few tips to start planning your 2021 wedding.
UPDATE YOUR GUEST LIST: If your wedding has been rescheduled from 2020 to 2021, you may need to reconsider your old guest list. You may find that people aren’t able to attend anymore or alternatively you may have new guests who you would like to invite.
DRESS/SUIT FITTINGS: If you have already found your dress/bridesmaids dresses or suits, then you might need another fitting closer to your new wedding date to make room for any necessary alterations.
PICK WEDDING DATE(S): If you haven’t already, it’s time to determine when you’d like to be married. And then you need to select a few alternative dates. Now more than ever, flexibility is critical. Even if you’re planning an intimate celebration of less than 50 people, consider having a weekday wedding also.
HIRE A WEDDING PLANNER
This is the step that most mainstream wedding media articles will skip over. After all, it’s a luxury to hire a wedding planner, right? Yes it is. It’s also a luxury to hire a photographer, caterer, band, hair and makeup artist… and the list goes on. Have you ever heard the saying “Failing to plan, is planning to fail”? Well, it’s time to take that to heart.
Couples who do not have a planner have had to fend for themselves – or they’ve had to scramble to find someone to hire who can help them.
Many have been forced to navigate uncharted territory of decision-making, contingency-planning, rescheduling, contract negotiations, cancellations, and extreme anxiety on their own.
