To Brides Who Haven't Yet Decided on a Wedding Theme or Concept

When preparing for a wedding, the foundation is the wedding theme or concept. Of course, this influences everything from paper items and venue decor to dresses and gifts.

If you proceed with wedding preparations without a decided theme or concept, it might result in a disjointed ceremony lacking cohesion...

Many brides might feel anxious, thinking, “I need to decide on a theme or concept quickly!”

It's OK if You Haven't Decided on a Theme! Wedding Preparation Task List 1: Create a Guest List with Names and Addresses ♡

You’ll want your paper items, like invitations, to be designed in line with your theme or concept.

While you can decide the design later, make sure to collect your guests’ names and addresses early and list them. If you manage this in Excel, it will make requesting calligraphy easy when the time comes!

You can avoid frantically asking friends for their addresses right before the mailing deadline by being prepared! Having the time allows you to write the addresses yourself, saving on calligraphy costs ♡

It's OK if You Haven't Decided on a Theme! Wedding Preparation Task List 2: Consider Messages for Place Cards ♡

Many brides wish to prepare place cards with messages for each guest. However, coming up with and writing messages for dozens of guests can be more challenging than expected...

The time leading up to the wedding can be exceptionally busy, making it hard to find moments to thoughtfully compose your messages.

Therefore, consider the messages now and save them in Word or a text memo! Once the place cards are ready, you can simply refer to your notes while writing them!

You don’t want to regret writing only short messages because you ran out of time, right? ♩

Once you’ve gathered the addresses of your guests from Task 1, prepare transportation allowances for those coming from afar!

After checking the cost of travel, withdraw the new bills from the bank. Place the amounts in the envelopes, and you’ll just have to hand them out on the day!
