Wedding is the most defining moment of your life; this is the event which will change your life for better or for worse. After the wedding euphoria ends you will start discovering your spouse in a newer and better way that you have known him/her when you were dating.

However, weddings themselves can be events to remember. Especially if you are going to plan your wedding all by yourself it is necessary that you take into account all the preparations that need to be done for the wedding.

Wedding is not just a personal affair; this is a social function where we invite several people who we know from everyday life as well as our relations. Therefore, it is necessary that we pay attention to all the guests that would be coming to the wedding.

The most important thing in a wedding is preparing the guest list. You will need estimating the numbers of guests you can afford to entertain versus the number of guests you need inviting. If the number of guests who need to be invited is more than what you can afford, then you will have to either increase the budget, or go through the unpleasant job of cutting down the guest list to only the must invite ones.

Another thing is fixing the venue for your wedding. Venue can be decided only when you are sure the number of guests who will come for the marriage. The venue should not be too large, or a very small one. The guests should feel comfortable and neither feel cramped or to far to start a conversation.

There cannot be a single event without food, therefore you need planning according to the guest list, and you cannot give orders for a lunch or dinner to the caterer without knowing the exact number of people who would be coming for the wedding.

Gifts happen to be another important part of every wedding. You can avoid these by not giving any and not receiving any and mentioning the same in advance in the invitation card, but then it robs the very flavor of a wedding. Each one puts a part of their feelings into the gifts when they buy one for you, therefore you also need to buy wedding favors to each one of your guests and special gifts for maids of honor and the best man since they are going to play an important role in your wedding.

Similarly you can shop for special wedding favors to your loved ones like parents, siblings and other relations. This would be a token to show all the love and affection all special people have showered over you all your life.
