How many guests do you want to attend the ceremony. Such details are very important.

Many couples like an intimate wedding where only the closest friends and relatives will be present, while others want a destination or theme wedding, and there are those who always prefer traditional Christian wedding ceremonies. They are all good – it depends on what your preferences are.

Step 2 – Choose Your Date

Select a few possible dates. The best approach is to be flexible as the venue of your wedding or your food vendor might be booked already. Always consider external factors, such as the popularity of those dates and whether the guests you will invite can attend, especially if your date is not too far away and if many guests are going to come from other towns and cities. Consider factors like work holidays, individual schedules, family engagements or programs, and such others.
