After you've set the wedding dote...
Once the wedding date is set,
several decisions must be made
as soon as possible.
First, you’ll have to come
down from Cloud 9 long
enough to decide the size and
style of wedding you want.
After discussing the overall
wedding budget with your par
ents, call the synagogue or
other location to make sure it is
available for your ceremony
and reception. If the wedding is
to be held at home, reserve the
date with a caterer. Next, make
an appointment for you and
your fiance to meet with the
rabbi.
Once you have decided when
and where the wedding will take
place, you and your fiance,
along with your parents and
his, can begin making the wed
ding list, which stands a good
chance of changing considera
bly before the actual invitations
are mailed.
Another decision that needs
to be made as soon as possible is
the selection of bridemaids and
groomsmen, maid of honor,
matron of honor, best man, and
if you like, flower girl and ring
bearer. These calls need to be
made early so that your attend
ants can mark the date on their
calendars.
You will need to begin shop
ping for your wedding next.
Visit a number of bridal salons
to get an idea of what’s in
fashion.
Once you have chosen and
ordered your dress, decide on a
color scheme for the wedding
and reception. Take one of your
attendants along when you go
to pick out bridesmaids’
dresses.
Stop, relax, and catch your
breath, but only for a minute.
There are other things to be
done. You will need to select
your invitations, hire a photo
grapher, select a florist, make
arrangements for music for the
evening, and order your wed
ding cake.
Decisions, decisions.
Another decision that needs to
be made as soon as possible is
the selection of china, silver,
crystal and other items you may
wish to receive as wedding gifts.

If your fiance is interested, take
him along to help make deci
sions. Be sure to register your
selections with the various
department stores.
Also, it’s time to begin shop
ping for your trousseau, buy
gifts for your attendants,
remind your fiance to do the
same, and decide together on
honeymoon plans.
Whether your wedding will
be large or small, all the plan
ning and preparations can seem
overwhelming at times. Just
remember, organization is the
key. As soon as you’ve set the
date, begin making lists. Divide
them into categories of “first
things first.” Then try grouping
certain chores together accord
ing to convenience. For exam
ple, list all things which can be
done by phone; things that fam
ily or friends might be willing to
do for you; chores that are
roughly in the same neighbor
hood, to keep from going back
and forth all over town.
There’s one more decision
you really ought to make —
decide to have fun planning
your perfect wedding.
