8 tips on how to enjoy the holidays while planning a wedding. In this Countdown to Christmas in Chicago-Part 1 you’ll get everything you need to know to get through the season AND get ready to celebrate the biggest moment of your Life.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving! In last week’s post we talked about your first Chicago Thanksgiving.
Here’s how to get started planning your wedding, AND enjoy the holidays!
Countdown to Christmas in Chicago-Part 1
1. What are the three big things you can do right now?
First of all, as you continue to dream about the kind of celebration you want you will make the choices that bring your vision to life. Because your personal style, the number of guests, and how you budget for this will help make that dream come true. So what are the three things you can do now? Take a look at how your style will influence the party you have. Get a feel for the number of guests you’ll invite. Then see how all that effects what you’ll want to budget to make it happen.
2. What’s your date?
Once you decide your date, a lot of things begin to fall into place. Does the date have significance to you? Is it a special number like 7/7/17? Are you a Cubs fan (don’t schedule your date around the playoffs and World Series)? Also, is their a specific date that you want for your anniversary (close to the date you met, a holiday weekend).
Another thing you can do is check availability of vendors you are interested in. If a location, or your favorite vendor, isn’t available you can consider either switching the date or changing vendors. You can let family know. You’ll know that you can have the ceremony on that date, and the celebration will follow.
Now that you’ve begun to get these first two items in your Countdown to Christmas in Chicago-Part 1, I want you to continue enjoying your holiday planning. This is the first Christmas you’ll spend together as an engaged couple. You’ve brought a special kind of love and togetherness into the Lives of the people around you.
In conclusion here are two more things I want you to do for me:
Go shopping (get an ornament that says “First Christmas…”).
And if you like to get your tree set up early, have a romantic tree trimming party with you and your fiancé. Enjoy.
Next week we’ll continue our Countdown to Christmas in Chicago-Part 1 with part 2.
