Getting engaged is one of the most beautiful things for all couples. Now, you can start planning your wedding. This part is always fun, but where do you start? Before getting carried away with the planning, there are things you need to think and talk about.

While it is good to take time and enjoy your engagement and spend as much time as you can with your fiancée, you also need to look at the future and start thinking about the wedding day.

You will have people asking you about the wedding, how and when it will be, and how you will get married. However, before you start answering them, there are a couple of important conversations you need to have with your partner. 

Here are a few of them; 

Discuss the Wedding Photography

Your wedding day should be one of the most memorable days of your life. It is also among the happiest days. You, therefore, need to find a way to keep the memories and even pass them down to other generations.

There is no better way of doing this than through photography. You need to evaluate different wedding photographers and see who is good at their work. In addition, ensure that you are working only with professional photographers.

You should also get a photo book for your wedding. These photo books allow you to translate the emotions and passion of your wedding into beautiful and amazing presentations that you can treasure for the rest of your life.

Talk About Finances

One thing you need to find out about is the cost of a wedding. Well, most wedding planners will tell you that your wedding can cost any amount of money, as long as you are willing to spend it.

However, before you even start talking to a wedding planner, you need to first discuss your wedding budget. How much money are you willing to spend? Do you have the amount of money you want to spend?

Even though some couples might find this difficult before getting quotes from suppliers, it is always good to start with a budget. This helps you align all the spending within the budget to ensure that you do not overspend.

Where to Get Married

Choosing the venue for your wedding depends on a lot of things. Some people might want to choose a venue where all their friends and family members can attend, while others would like a place they have always wanted to go but have never succeeded.

However, your wedding venue will also be dictated by your wedding budget. This is something that you need to discuss with your partner to ensure that you both choose a place that meets all your requirements.

In addition, you also need to think about your guests when choosing where to get married. This is because you do not want to make it difficult for them to get to the venue. Your wedding venue needs to be beautiful regardless.

When to Get Married

Now that you have talked about things like finances and where to get married, you need to talk about the actual date or season for your wedding. Is it this year or the next? Or maybe four years after your engagement? Which month?

This is a decision that needs to be made by the two of you. It should not be left to one person. When talking about the date, ensure that each one of you gives their preferred date and then narrow them down to the perfect one.

You also need to think about a couple of things such as the weather, destination weddings, work commitments, family issues, guest commitments, and finances when choosing the date for your wedding. This will make things easy for you when planning the wedding.

Guests

Do you want all and sundry attending your wedding? Well, I am sure there are people you would not like to invite. You, therefore, need to discuss the guests you want to invite to your wedding.

To get started, each one of you should come up with a list of the people they would like to see at the wedding. These are the people who must attend the wedding. It could be your family members, friends, or even work colleagues.

After that, depending on the maximum number of guests your wedding venue can hold, you can add more guests to make the wedding party exemplary. You can also talk about bridesmaids, maid of honor, groomsmen, and the best man.

After discussing all of the things above, you can now bring in a wedding planner to help you with the rest of the planning. This way, you will find it easy to plan your wedding.
