Choosing the Destination

• Choosing a destination is the first decision you have to make. Where do you really want to go, or are you open to different locations? If you are open to any location, then what kind of wedding do you want? How many people do you plan to invite? Will you be able to plan the wedding from where you live?
  
  

Budget and Guests

• Set a budget to decide what you can afford. Your guests will need airfare, lodging and meals when they attend your wedding. Some couples choose to pay some of these expenses for their guests. Other couples simply cannot afford to offer this. It is up to the couple to set the budget and see how many people they can comfortably invite and pay for at the wedding.
  
  

Wedding Planner

• Hire a wedding planner who lives in the place where your wedding will take place. The wedding planner will have all the inside information on the best vendors in the area. If you find a wedding planner you like and trust, you can put the planning in her hands.
