Tips for wedding invites

SO, you have accepted your Prince Charming’s proposal – now it’s time to decide on a wedding date. Where do you start? Here are some considerations:

Are you free? – If either of you have a job that has certain peak periods or require you to be out of town, you will need to look through your schedule and decide on a suitable date.

Is it meaningful? – Choose a date that is meaningful to both of you – like the day you met or fell in love, or even a combination of your birthdays.

Is it a public holiday or commemorative occasion? – Bear in mind that venues, caterers and photographers may be difficult to book if you choose a popular wedding date like Valentine’s Day.

What is the season? – December may be a popular wedding month, but bear in mind that it is also the rainy season.

Do you have enough time to save up? – You may be eager to get married in the next six months, but remember that weddings tend to be an expensive affair and you may need a longer time to save up and afford your fairytale wedding.

The date for a wedding is crucial as it needs to be a date that everyone can plan around. Nonetheless it is essential that both you and your fiancée are agreeable to the date. After all, it is one of the most important dates of your life. — The Straits Times / Asia News Network
