Seattle Wedding Info’s
Complete Bridal "To-Do" List:
Onlookers might wonder why brides can get so worked up as they plan their wedding, but any seasoned bride knows that the task list can range from exceedingly to unbearably long, with unexpected duties and expenses adding to it everyday. We met a bride who showed us her pre-made wedding planning binder. The spine was collapsing with use and each section was stuffed full with paperwork and business cards, but every pre-printed, fill-in-the-blanks page that came with it was completely blank.
Every one, that is, except for the one that listed many of the duties and expenses she would come up against in her Seattle wedding adventure! It is along these same lines that we present to you the most valuable resource a bride can own for pulling off a successful wedding day: A comprehensive wedding "To-Do" chart, listing every possible duty and expense that can go into the most elaborate or basic Seattle wedding.
That’s right. We put our heads together and thought of every little thing you will need to take care of as you plan your perfect Seattle wedding. Of course, most of you will not have to deal with all of these things, as it would require a very lavish wedding to require so much – but be sure to read it all to make sure you don’t leave anything out. As you browse, be sure to notice when we added a parentheses with the word “gratuity”. This means that service is usually a tipped position, so be sure to figure in an additional 15-20% for gratuity. So, here it is. From Officiant fees to Limousine rentals, from chair covers to return postage, your every cost and task, all organized into an easy-to-read chart.
