The next step after an engagement is planning the wedding and wedding packages will help you fit everything into your budget so you can have the best day of your life. You can make a wish list that will narrow down where you would like the ceremony and the reception to take place.  The best way to start is to find a place that offers wedding packages so you can choose the right one for your special occasion without hurting your savings.

1. Ask about the All-Inclusive Packages When Doing Venue Touring

As with all major events, planning and research are the essential activities for you to accomplish. When checking out the venue, you should always ask the right questions, which should include all-inclusive wedding packages. These packages can make your wedding plans much more uncomplicated. Affordable wedding packages can even include some complementary pieces, which can help you save time, effort, and money. While the items vary from one venue to another, along with the caterer and the supplier, you have the opportunity to save on certain things, such as wine, carpeting, chairs, and tables.

2. Ask if Your Wedding Packages Can Be Customized

Some packages are set, but there may be some changes that you would like to make. Another thing to inquire about is whether or not you can customize the packages the venue offers.

Many will accommodate your request as long as they are not outrageous. For instance, you may want to add more chairs and tables to fit the number of guests you have. You can also choose to reduce the number. Another example is for the cake, which usually comes with specific choices. Perhaps you can ask the caterer to change the menu just a little bit.

In some places, you can bring your own wine and other drinks. You can also specify the music you want to play. If there are any restrictions, now is the time for you to ask about them.

3. Think about the Budget

What is great about the wedding packages is that they help you stay on top of your budget. The rental fee includes not only the location but also linens, silverware, china, and chair covers. The package will typically consist of different choices of food, and some may even let you hire your own caterer if you think that will suit your budget. Most of the venues will have a meeting with you where you can specify your budget as they help you make plans for your wedding. In this stage, they will create a program and manage the event based on how much you can afford.

4. Don’t Forget to Think about Where Everyone will Stay

For some, it is practical to have the reception venue at the hotel because some wedding packages include rooms for the guests. However, if your chosen location is not at a hotel, you should at least look around and ensure they will have a place to stay at night. As much as possible, pick a hotel that is not far from your selected venue, so they do not have to drive for hours to get to your wedding ceremony and reception. Other things to consider are the parking spaces and the tourist traffic. Also, think about your budget at this point because you need to make reservations for your guests, and that will not be too cheap. 

5. Consider Your Must-Haves Things

The packages will definitely include the food, which is usually presented as elegant buffet meals. Flowers for the bride and groom’s table are vital, as well as your choice of long or round dining tables. Chairs and their covers are a must as well. Aside from food, you need drinks and water, which should be served by well-dressed waiters. A supervisor and food attendants should be on location, too.

When everything is all done, the last thing you want to be worried about is cleanup. The package you choose should also include getting rid of the trash and other uneaten food. This way, you end the night tired yet happy and fulfilled.

The guest count is finalized, you’ve picked up your wedding bands, and your unsigned marriage license is in your hot little hands. Yet you can’t help but wonder: “Am I forgetting something?”. Although you’ve triple-checked your wedding checklist, there are some things that you’re not likely to anticipate unless you’ve gotten married before! That’s why we’ve put together a list of 7 wedding-day tips you probably didn’t think of. From the gals who’ve been there, done that. You can thank us later.

1. Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate!

If you’re anything like us, your wedding day will begin bright and early with hair, makeup—and bottomless mimosas! It’s important to have a bottle of water handy to sip on throughout the day. Not only will staying hydrated keep you cool and prevent dry mouth (helloooo, first kiss!), it’ll also balance out all those glasses of champagne.

2. Tell your guests to hide their phones during the ceremony.

There’s nothing like a big ol’ tablet thrust into the aisle to ruin a perfectly sweet photo op. Ask your guests to keep the phones, tablets, and bulky cameras at home (or at least under their seats) so your trusty photographer can get that gorgeous, unobstructed shot of your walk down the aisle…and subsequent “I DOs”.

3. Ask your officiant to get out of the frame during your first kiss.

Unless they’re a seasoned pro, after the “You may now kiss the bride/groom“ directive many officiants are likely to hang out awkwardly in the center of the shot—leading to some rather unfortunate photos. Remind your officiant to get out of the frame ASAP to let your photographer capture that perfect first kiss photo.

4. Enlist a friend or family member to record any speeches.

Even if you’ve hired a videographer (and especially if you haven’t!), it’s a good idea to ask a trusted friend or relative to record the wedding speeches on their cell phone. This will ensure that all those jokes, innuendos, and heartfelt moments get saved for posterity, and—extra bonus—you won’t have to wait for your highlight reel to hear the best man’s epic send-up of the groom again!

5. Ask your caterer to set aside extra food.

You’ll be all over the place on your wedding day. Between posing for photos and mingling with your guests, chances are you’ll only have time to sneak a few bites of the wedding buffet and will be starving following the send-off! Have your caterer put together a to-go box of food (and a couple slices of cake!) for you and your spouse to enjoy at the end of the night.

6. Anticipate that your guests will want to keep the party going.

Even if all you feel like doing after the wedding is to head on over to your honeymoon suite, many of your friends will want to keep the party going! Scope out some local dive bars or late-night hot spots near your venue, so that guests who aren’t ready to call it a night can get there easily—and won’t be loitering outside the wedding venue asking, “Soooo, where’s everybody going now?”

7. Soak it all in.

Your wedding day will be a crazy-beautiful whirlwind, so here’s our last tip: Be present. Take a minute every now and then to really breathe, look at your shiny new spouse, and be in the moment. If you’re not intentional about this, it will be all too easy to get swept up in the cyclone and miss what the celebration is really about.

The period of adaptation to new habits certainly makes many plans delayed. Starting from planning a trip abroad, to watching concerts in the country, to maybe wedding preparations that have been planned for a long time. Of course, this does not impress those of you who want to get married.

Fortunately, during this time, weddings can be held. However, you still have to follow the rules of health. How is the trend of marriage in adaptation to new habits?

1. Virtual Finish Preparation

If you usually hold face-to-face meetings with a wedding organizer, the meetings will be held virtually during the coronavirus pandemic. You and your partner must be ready in front of the smartphone or laptop to “meet” the wedding organizer representative. For the conversation to run smoothly and prepare according to plan, make sure your internet connection is smooth and stable.

2. Intimate Marriage Concept

In addition to meetings with wedding organizers that must be done virtually, you are not as free as before in inviting wedding guests. The reason is, based on the Circular of the Minister of Religion Number 15 of 2002, the maximum wedding invitation can only be 20% of the total room capacity. Also no more than 30 people.

Therefore, the concept of an intimate marriage that is only attended by family and relatives and close friends will be suitable to become a marriage trend in the new normal era. You can invite the immediate family of both parties, as well as your close friends and spouse.

3. Host Live Streaming via Social Media

It’s kind of sad to think of not being able to invite so many people to the wedding. However, to jointly ensure occupational safety and health, you must follow this regulation of the Minister of Religion. Regarding not being able to invite many guests, you can hold live streaming of the marriage contract through the social media of each bride and groom. Let this live streaming event be handled by the wedding organizer team or one of your family.

4. Set up Strict Health Protocol Rules

When the wedding day arrives, make sure you have set up strict health protocols for all guests. Yes, even though those who come are close family and friends, there is nothing wrong with following the prescribed health rules.

5. Sanitation before and after the event

Before entering the venue, every guest present must have their temperature checked. Then, ask guests to wear masks, face shields, or other protective equipment to cover the face area. Given the unfavorable situation, it is better not to shake hands by touching each other’s hands.

Apart from inviting guests to wear masks or face shields, there is nothing wrong if you ask them to bring their hand sanitizers. The invitation to bring hand sanitizers can be included in the invitations that were distributed. If there are guests who forget to prepare a place to wash their hands or a special place for spraying hand sanitizers before guests enter the venue.

6. Try to Choose an Outdoor Place

Given that some time ago there was a transmission of the virus originating from closed and air-conditioned spaces, you should choose an outdoor wedding venue. The location of the wedding that takes place in the open will make it easier for guests to keep their distance from each other. Besides, a large area also allows for better air circulation.

Still related to the venue, you are also advised to set the table in the seated dinner format, not a standing party. Because, if the event is held in a standing party model, the risk of crowd crowds will be much higher.

Your desire to hold a wedding party with new habit adaptations can now be realized. As long as they apply health protocols and keep each other clean, pandemics will no longer be a problem. More importantly, are you ready with the funds for wedding preparation? Even though it is held simply, it still costs a lot of money.
