Graduation and Wedding on same week

Jaritza, on March 18, 2018 at 6:03 PM Posted in Planning 0 3
Hello All,
I am a bride getting married on May 18th and graduating from college on May 13th. I am looking to get some advice as to what to expect the week before the wedding? I also have some questions regarding what I should be paying for when it comes to my wedding party?

    You pay for what you require. If their hair needs to Ben a certain way, you pay. You want a certain dress, you should offer to pay. If you’re a little more leinient on everything they can pay as long as you both talk about it and it’s in their budget.

    The week before the wedding I’d expect little things like last minute details. Making lists will help you narrow this down for you. If you have a DOC to set up for you that also helps. However, I don’t see your graduation being a huge road block for you. It’s one day, and my college graduation day my family and I celebrated together then I started my full time “big kid” job 4 days later.

    Make sure to get most of wedding details done at least 3 weeks before the wedding. So there is not much to do the week of. That's what I did, all I had to do was get my dress and get a manicure-so much less stress.

    HIRE A PLANNER.

    I am taking my national boards tomorrow (yeah, I should be studying Smiley tongue) and getting married on Saturday. Everything I have thought of this week I've just kept in a list an emailed to my planner, who has taken care of it. Literally the only thing I need to do is pack my stuff when we head to the hotel.

    My planner has taken care of notifying the venues of last minute cancellations, helping the photographer coordinate her timeline with the main timeline, making plans to have vegan cupcakes delivered, getting my seating chart to the venue so menu cards can be printed, and soooo many other things.
