If you are planning a family celebration for your closest loved ones, think about what format it will be held in. What time of year is the wedding day planned for, will it be outdoors or indoors? Do you want to have a wedding, an offsite ceremony, registration at the registry office, or will you only call your family for a gala dinner?
The budget for a family holiday is unlikely to be shocking, so you can estimate it in advance, but do not have to write out the points.
Family celebration, if it does not involve a completely non-standard scenario, it is possible to organize without a wedding agency. But if you do not want to deal with minor issues, it makes sense to contact a wedding planner who will take on some stages of preparation.
Make a rough list of guests. Of course, it will vary, but in a chamber format, it is important to agree in advance on the maximum number of invitees and those who must attend the wedding.
If you plan to invite relatives and friends from other cities and countries, think about how they will get there. Do they need to buy tickets, will they need hotel accommodations?
Choosing a venue for a family celebration is not a very difficult task. You can find a cozy room for 10-20 people in almost any restaurant or hotel and book it closer to the date. The only way to make additional demands on the venue is to hold a ceremony outside of the venue. In this case, you will need a larger hall or a separate room, such as a restaurant veranda.
If you are planning a celebration in a particular style, it is better to think it over in advance to have time to prepare or contact professionals. However, a family celebration can well do without a script.
The search for dream outfits usually takes quite a lot of time, so decide on the style and begin to study the catalogs of wedding boutiques is better immediately after the engagement.
Start making a list of gifts: closer to the date of the celebration, it will change, but some items are likely to remain.
