That is why we will take time to sample some DIYs that you can pick up and do them. These are not complicated tasks. They are all within your reach.
1. 1. Arrange your own bouquet of flowers
This is might sound like one of the tasks you
can manage on your own. Yes, you can do it. But you will not commit an offense
by asking for help. You can feel free to consult others where you need help. In
fact, this is the approach you need to take all the way as you go. Let's get
back to our lane. You can arrange some of your favorite flowers and bundle
them. But the only secret here is uniformity. You can decide to make them
uniform so that they come in the same attractive color.
You also have a chance of using artificial
flowers. These have the advantage of working even without allowing you to worry
about wilting. Wrap them around and make sure they are looking cute and
attractive. Then you can be sure that the bride will carry them around. You can
also extend the flower arrangement to the searing area. Select the ones you
feel are the best and let them beautify your wedding.
2. 2. Prepare the wedding signage
This is one task that can be a lot of fun.
People coming to your wedding reception will need to know your sitting
arrangement. When you write specify where each one will sit, they will know and
follow through. You can start by indicating the high table. Then you bring it
down to other small pieces of details your guests may need.
By the way, the starting point in all this is
to make sure that you have planned out the sitting arrangement. Sketch how you
want your guests to come and sit on that day. If you feel the VIP section will
be too small, this is the time to adjust. Ensure that you add all that you
need.
3. 3. Rearrange the sitting decor
This is one area that takes a lot of time and
effort. But if you have started in time, it will be fun and exciting. Make sure
you have a lot of time to try out this new way of approaching your own
important event. Now, in the sitting arrangement, you will need to know the
total number of seats you need for the wedding. It is always a good idea to add
extras. Here we mean enough extras so that you do not have to start panicking
in the middle of the function.
You have so many options you can use in this
case. If you want you can hire all the seat covers and ribbons to make sure
there is uniformity. But if you so wish, take your time and try to make sure
that you mix up colors that can blend together. This is the part the makes the
whole area look inviting and awesome. Spend some time as you refine your
choices here.
4. 4. Refine the guests list well in
advance
This is a task that is usually neglected and
only done at the last minute. The result is always disastrous. If you have to
go about it yourself, the end result will even be much better and easier. After
all, you are the ones who know all the people close to your heart. When you
refine the list, you also need to leave room for those that are easy to leave
out. These are acquaintances and neighbors. You will find that after all this
time you have been working, you forgot to include such people. To make matters
worse, these are the same people you meet every day and they may not even
believe you.
Cleaning up the list is a task that should be
easy to manage. But many people may also volunteer to help. These are the ones
you can make use of and ensure they are reliable. Remember that it is not every
volunteer who may have the heart to work as you expect. Others can only stand
in there and abandon you at the eleventh hour. You don't deserve that on your
big day.
5. 5. Organize and manage your trustees
This is a list of your right-hand men and women
who are ready to assist you to do things the right way. Break them into smaller
committees and give them little tasks that will not stake too much of their time.
Then your role will be to get progress reports from them. You can have one
group dedicated to preparing the food. Another group can also be there to do
ushering and related logistics. But, in all this, you have to make sure that
you organize your team very well.
You do not need another person to manage them
for you. After all, this is a group made up of only trustworthy individuals.
People who have proved how reliable they can be even under difficult
circumstances. Your task is now smaller because they will be there to make sure
that you have everything moving. This is the team that will even be running on
that day while your wedding is in progress.
Conclusion
The list of things you can do is long. But you
can tailor it to your taste. In fact, you have to make sure that you select as
many of the items you can manage as possible. In all this, always remember the
main secret. Start in time and don't pick this aspect at the last minute. If
you start in time, you have a bigger chance of succeeding.
