Want to Plan The Perfect Wedding? Learn the Six P's
Is your head spinning? If you're planning a wedding, it probably is. Many brides find themselves
overwhelmed by all the details, especially in the early stages of preparation. That's why
I've compiled the Six Ps of Wedding Planning - these tips will help you deal with the details
and reduce your pre-wedding stress:
Price - Regardless of who is picking up the tab, you need to know and adhere to the budget.
Before booking the hall, ordering invitations, or spending any money at all, you should compile
a list of what each item will cost and make sure it fits within your budget. Good research is
the key to planning a successful, affordable wedding.
Practical - Being on a budget requires the bride and groom to make sensible choices. For

Prioritize - Your wedding preparations start with the proposal and end with the honeymoon. It's everything in between
that can be hair-raising for you and your family! There are literally hundreds of things to do, order, book, arrange, and
buy. [Carolyn has prepared a special "cross-off" list of wedding tasks that will help you get organized and prevent last
minute panics. Request your free copy by responding to this email with the words "Cross-Off List" in the subject line.]
Pleasant - Sometimes this is the toughest of the Six Ps. When you feel the tension mounting, take time out for yourself.
You don't want your wedding to be remembered as an ordeal so try to keep a positive outlook.
Parents - Whenever possible let parents and siblings assist with the preparations. You'll need plenty of helpers and they'll
appreciate being involved.
Protocol - Wedding etiquette has become more complex over the years. There are several books available on the subject
such as Emily Post's Wedding Etiquette. But one great free resource is an article entitled "Wedding Etiquette
Guidelines." It deals with touchy issues like who pays for what, who do you tip, how do you word the invitations, and
much more. [To request a free copy, respond with the subject line "Wedding Etiquette Article".]
I wish you all the best as you plan for your wedding day. Using the Six Ps can make the preparations easier and more
pleasant for you and your family.
