Recommended Tips for Couples in Long-Distance Relationships to Plan Their Wedding ♩
The wedding is decided ♡ But I'm worried about whether we can properly prepare for the wedding since we are in a long-distance relationship... Many brides-to-be in long-distance relationships feel this way, don't they? Long-distance couples often cannot proceed smoothly like other brides-to-be, which can lead to "marriage blues"*
It's a shame to be filled with anxiety and impatience when it’s supposed to be a happy wedding, right? ♡ Today, I would like to introduce some points for long-distance couples to effectively prepare for their wedding ♡
Point 1 for Wedding Preparation in a Long-Distance Relationship: Set a Date with Plenty of Time ♡
Normally, wedding preparations begin about six months before the ceremony, but for long-distance couples, that can be quite challenging. To ensure you can start preparations a year in advance, choose a date that allows for plenty of time ♡
Having ample time will help reduce feelings of anxiety ♡
Point 2 for Wedding Preparation in a Long-Distance Relationship: Create a List of Venues and Share Their Features ♡
Once the wedding is decided, the first step is usually to choose the venue. Since it can be difficult for long-distance couples to visit venues together every time, let someone who lives near the wedding location do the "venue tour" ♡
After the "venue tour," make a list of the plan prices and features. Sharing this summary with your partner makes it easier to narrow down options on the spot ♩ Once you’ve narrowed it down to about two venues, it’s best to visit them together during a vacation or time off ♡
Point 3 for Wedding Preparation in a Long-Distance Relationship: Try on the Dress with Family or Friends ♡
Once the venue is decided, you want to take your time choosing the dress, right? Since it's often difficult to coordinate schedules with your partner, consider trying on dresses with family or friends ♡
Sending photos to your partner during fittings is nice, but waiting for the "first meet" on the big day can also be wonderful ♡ Choose a dress that’s incredibly cute and leave him in awe ♩
Point 4 for Wedding Preparation in a Long-Distance Relationship: Always Share Images of Inspirations and Wedding Items ♡
Always share what kind of wedding you want and any wedding items you find, like "I want a wedding like this ♡" or "I found this wedding item ♡" ♡ Creating an album online can be very convenient ♩
Once you have a clear idea about favors or DIY items, visiting stores together or having one person go shopping can be effective and help avoid arguments ♡
Marry also offers an app called 'marry note' where both of you can share photos, available on the App Store, so be sure to check it out ♡
