Since it's such a special occasion, I don't want you to have any regrets! Here are some important things to keep in mind during your wedding preparations. This article highlights points to be careful about from “the proposal until two months before the wedding day” ♩

Don't regret it! 【Up to two months before the big day】 Important point 1: Choosing the venue

After being proposed, the first thing is to choose the wedding venue! You want to choose a venue that meets various factors like accessibility, atmosphere, and size. One important aspect to be aware of is the “bringing in of your own dress” policy.＊

Some venues may have restrictions that only allow dresses from their affiliated designers. It's quite common for these affiliated dresses to have limited size options, and you might find yourself choosing from just a few selections!

If you have specific dress preferences, make sure to ask whether the venue allows you to bring your own dress and how much the fee will be if they do♡

Don't regret it! 【Up to two months before the big day】 Important point 2: Whether to use a plan or not

Depending on the wedding venue, there may be a “plan system” where you select items like food and dresses from the included options, or a “customization system” where you can choose freely according to your budget.＊

For those who find the various costs overwhelming, it might be easier to stick with the included options. However, when you calculate everything piece by piece, you may find that not using a plan is actually cheaper. So, consider carefully whether to use a plan or go for custom options. It can lead to differences of thousands of yen, so make sure to calculate and decide for yourself.＊

Don't regret it! 【Up to two months before the big day】 Important point 3: Dress cancellation fees

Choosing a dress is often one of the biggest dilemmas for future brides. If the dress shop tells you, “This is a popular dress, so it might not be available if you don’t decide today,” it’s easy to rush into making a tentative reservation. But this can lead to issues if you later find a dress you like better!

When you cancel a dress, there is usually a "cancellation fee." If you're making a tentative reservation for a dress, it's crucial to ask about the cancellation fee. Some dress shops may charge cancellation fees starting three days after your contract is signed.＊

It is advisable to ask about the cancellation fees before you decide to make any tentative contracts.♡

Don't regret it! 【Up to two months before the big day】 Important point 4: Inviting friends

After you get proposed to, you naturally want to share the news with all your friends! However, if you’re inviting work-related guests to the wedding, you might find yourself limited to inviting only a few of your closest friends.

It can be awkward if you’ve told someone, “Please come to my wedding!” and later can’t invite them due to limited space. Discuss how many relatives and work colleagues you plan to invite before actually breaking the news to just a few friends.＊

When you change your hairstyle or dress during the reception, it takes time. If your guests are left unattended during this period, their excitement might fade.

It’s important to prepare a video to show during your change. Consider making a video from your pre-wedding photos or an introduction video of the bride and groom, so guests can chat while watching the footage.＊
