subject: Amazing Maui Wedding Planner And Guide [print this page] While planning from afar may seem challenging, a destination wedding actually can be much less stressful and less expensive than a hometown event. Guest lists are often smaller, and friends and family members who do travel the distance to attend will appreciate the vacation and family reunion created by this special occasion. Here are some notes for planning your Maui wedding up to six months in advance.
Six months prior select a wedding date and time, announce your engagement in the newspaper, make a preliminary budget, and hire a wedding consultant. Then, determine your wedding style, decide on your color scheme, determine the size of the guest list and start compiling names and addresses of guests. Next, select bridal attendants, have fiance select groom attendants, choose a master of ceremonies and select a reception venue. You should then reserve your ceremony and reception locations, select a caterer, select a priest; visit clergy and discuss ceremony. You'll also want to be sure to reserve tents, rental tables and chairs, a professional photographer and videographer, and musicians. Also be sure to choose a florist, select wedding rings, choose your dress and head piece, pick out bridesmaids' dresses and make your travel and lodging reservations.
Four months prior check in with wedding providers, make final arrangements for the ceremony (deposits should be paid, contracts signed) and make sure all wedding attire is ordered. Have both mothers coordinate and select their dresses and make arrangements with your hair and makeup stylist. Register at a bridal registry in the towns of both families, or online with one of the many services available, including honeymoon registries. Don't forget to order invitations or announcements, complete the guest list, make transportation arrangements for the wedding day, start planning the honeymoon and obtain a passport, if necessary.
Two months prior check in with your wedding providers or consultant, address invitations and announcements, mail invitations four to six weeks before the wedding. Finalize all details with your wedding consultant, or caterer, photographer, florist, reception venue, musicians, etc. Then order the wedding cake, if not supplied by caterer. Also finalize ceremony details with the officiant, make rehearsal arrangements, if needed, and finalize honeymoon plans.
One month prior have a final fitting for your gown and bridal attendants' dresses, purchase gifts for attendants and also one for your fiance. Be sure to enjoy the bridesmaids' luncheon and purchase a going away outfit. Don't forget to keep a record of all gifts received and write thank you notes as gifts arrive. Make sure you have all accessories: toasting goblets, ring pillow, garter, candles, etc. Give musicians, or your wedding consultant, the list of music for the ceremony and reception. Be sure to also elect a person to handle the guest book and determine its location.
Two weeks prior check in with your wedding providers, give them your cellular phone number, attend to business and legal details. Get the necessary forms to change your name on your Social Security card, driver's license, insurance, medical plans and bank accounts. Prepare wedding announcements to be sent to the newspaper, give a change of address card to the post office and finish addressing announcements to be mailed on the wedding day.
One week prior give the final count to the caterer and review details and go over final details with all professional services you have hired. Be sure to inform all of them of any changes. Then reconfirm your honeymoon arrangements and arrange for someone to assist with last minute errands and to help you dress. Have a rehearsal with all participants and review their duties and enjoy your rehearsal dinner.
Your wedding day make sure you bring the wedding rings and the marriage license. Congratulations! You are ready for your wedding day! Taking care of everything in advance is important so there exists absolutely no stress or worry on this beautiful day. You have taken the steps to ensuring an absolutely perfect Maui wedding.
