A lot of people are looking at some time at home, either working from home or not working at all. Either way, you might have some extra time on your hands. And if you’re looking at a 2021 wedding, that might be some good news for you. (And we could all use a little good news right now!)
If you’re planning to get married next year and you are looking for things to fill your days, you can do some wedding planning right now. No, I don’t expect you’re going to rush out and visit venues this week, but there are things you can do.
If you haven’t done this yet, you can make a list of wedding planning tasks, with notes on when you should be working on each item. There are hundreds of these types of list available on the internet. Find one you like, and adapt it to your needs. (Spread sheets are going to be your friend in this project.) Set up a shared folder for planning purposes so both of you have access to it–and you can share it with your planner or coordinator if you hire one.
Also, work on your wedding budget. This can take some research, but if you have the time, now would be a great time to start doing that work and putting it together.
Have you started to research venues yet? Or caterers? This would be a great time to compile a list of all types of vendors, read reviews, compare costs and amenities, and get in touch with various vendors if you have specific questions. Find out which venues are available on your preferred date(s), and start to narrow down your list so you can visit a few when the time comes.
Finally, a shameless plug: If you want help with any of these tasks, you can hire a planner (such as, say, me!) for a consultation. I’m available by phone or Skype for planning meetings to get you off on the right foot. A two-hour planning meeting will cost you $100. (You can, as always, hire me for full planning, as well. I suggest planning for 2021 at this point.)
I also have a little bonus discount for you: If you hire me for a consultation (two-hour minimum) between now and July 1 and then hire me for planning or coordinating for your 2021 wedding, I’ll give you a $50 discount off of planning/coordinating services. How’s that for a little good news?
