Last time I said am going to tell you why you need and must have a NOTEPAD.
Today,i am briefly going to state why and what you need this notepad for.
Don't forget this saying, that "whoever that fail to plan has plan to fail definitely"The excess of your notepad is to have a plan of actions,name of vendors,price of items & services,time schedule for meetings,contact persons,phone numbers etc, that are going to help you lay out and coordinate your plans.
Now let me tip you on how I go about any major activities planning and successfully discharged my responsibilities.
There is what I called POLKA,polka is a central European dance but here it meant differently,it is:
P-Plan.Set up plan of actions which are very necessary and all other details you can think of,which include number of guests,souvenirs,clothing,accessories,invitations & other prints,monthly schedules and budget etc.Ensure you leave nothing behind,all things must be noted.
O-Organize.Organize your monthly schedule meetings with vendors and other important family,friends and whosoever have anything to do with your wedding arrangement,including your everyday activities, so your job will not suffer during the period you are preparing for your wedding.
State from calendar date and time you schedule to meet with these persons and if there is a revisit and any follow up to do,always remember to state it in your pad.
L-Lead. Take a lead in all your plans,never leave everything in the hands of people you delegate some job to do.Check and cross-check to be certain all is going according to plan.Always take a lead ahead.
K-Kontrol. You'll just have to be in control of situations no matter what,you will be the one to feel hurt if the event fails.Since it is your day, beware of advice and suggestions including assistance friends and family members willingly to give.If any don't go well with your plans,politely explain why it wont fit in and drop such idea,never make people around you feel bad over while in the actual fact they are trying to make their little contribution toward the success of your day.
Be in control,always be certain all is in order as it is plan.
A-Adjust. As you go about your planning,there will be need for some reschedule,re bargaining,recheck,revisit and so on that will make you bend a bit or in total,this is adjusting.
For instant,your budget may not be able to cover something,just because expected finance is not forthcoming,then you need to get going,therefore you'll have to adjust to meet with your purse status.
Start early,never fall into the common saying,"there is still plenty of time" habit,that will box you into avoidable pressure which might cause you a lot of stress and eventual disappointment.
Your notepad should have these following: an itinerary of Date & Time of Scheduled meetings,Location, Name of Vendors and Addresses,the Contact Persons and Phone numbers(collect biz cards too),List of things and items and their prices(always ask for receipts where necessary to keep tap and reclaim if need arises),email or websites and many more info that will guide your planning actions.
In order to plan a stress free wedding, you need to:
a) Develop a Plan
b) Be very clear who is doing what
c) Source for information in order to make informed decisions.
d) Coordination to ensure everything is pulling in the same direction.
In due course, I will give how a normal wedding planning notebook should be if I can reproduce one here.
