When you’re planning a wedding, whether it’s yours or someone else’s, there are some things that you have to know. You might think you can skip these steps or do them last minute, but it’ll backfire on you later. Check out these essential tips below!

Guests Come First
The first thing you should do is create a guest list to ensure your venue is large enough for your wedding reception. As a rule of thumb, allow 30 square feet per person.
Set Up A Credit Card
A wedding will empty your wallet, but it doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of the high expenses. You can sign up for a credit card with a rewards program and consolidate all wedding-related purchases to this card. That way, you’ll earn thousands of reward points which you can later use for your honeymoon.
Create A Meal Plan
Before you sign the contracts with the wedding crew, make sure you’re not expected to feed them the same meal that your guests will receive. Otherwise, you could be paying additional hundreds of dollars. Select a less expensive but still tasty dish for them instead.
