Checklist
This is one of the most important things you must
do before you start your planning. Buy a new book and make all the necessary
sections, such as outfits, guest list, catering, flower décor, etc. Now, for
each main section, create a checklist and since it is a big book, you can just
keep adding things if required. No matter how small or big something is, write
it down. All those ideas and thoughts will come in handy.

If carrying a bulky book is not your cup of tea,
then don’t worry, technology comes to
your rescue. You can download ‘checklist apps’ that will do the same job. One
such app is ‘wunderlist’. Here, you can create separate sections, make lists,
add sub folders, notes, etc. and everything syncs to your email account or
cloud. So, even if the app gets deleted or something happens to your phone, all
your lists are safe and sound.

List of events
Make a list of events that you want to include,
such as mehndi, sangeet, etc. and religiously follow that only. This way, there
will be no glitch in your planning and it will be a smooth sailing.

Guest List
Be practical when you are planning your guest list.
Do it according to your budget and don’t be influenced by what others have to
say. Once the list is final, you can create an excel sheet and jot down all the
names of your guests. So, sending the invites will get easier and you will not
miss out anyone.

Venue and more
If you start feeling overwhelmed, don’t. Take a
step back, relax and revisit your list. If something is missing add it and if
something is in excess, just delete it.
