Initial Preps - Jitter Already?

Well, Im a newbiew on this stuff. I don't really know where to start and it is still a year and 5 months (perhaps to come) but the pressure is on me already. Indeed planning for a big event in your life is quite a pressure especially if you'd want it to be D-I-Y.

Hmmm, how do i start. making a checklist perhaps? Thanks to Eyzel (whom i have not yet met personally), who by just reading her blog, inspired me to create one for this big event. So here it goes.

Currently, we still are in the planning stage. Creating checklists yet and making initial preparations.


  • Wedding Schedule
    • Not this year, next year perhaps? I won't yet divulge the date. :)
  • Church
    • Tentative, Christ the King Cathedral. (checked)
  • Wedding concept/Motif
    • At first I wanted to have a woodland fairy concept but I have seen the cons of it. Keeping a concept is quite teadious. You have to align everything to the concept to make it more special and unforgettable. At the same time, what's the use of a concept if you can't keep it.
    • We both agreed to have green and orange motif (to support the woodland fairy theme as well) (checked)
  • Wedding Coordinator
    • We planned not to have a wedding coordinator because his brother can do it for him.
  • Wedding invitations
    • We also opt to create our own invitations (layout and printing) because I, being an IT myself, can do the lay-outing.
  • Wedding Souvenirs
    • After a long deliberation and changes, we have come up with one. It is already in the process and thanks to a friend, we could have it at a lower price.
  • Wedding reception
    • Tentative still, but we already have one so basically, this one is checked
  • Guest list
    • I want to have a private wedding - 150 to 200 will do, I dunno how it would turn out though given that we are both friendly and "amiable" (hehe). Besides, there is no "pamamanhikan" yet. These are just our plans, so there are still suggestions from parents.
  • Wedding dresses
    • There is already the design, but we have not yet contacted a supplier coz we believe that it is still early for that. Are we right?
  • Wedding cake
    • a concept is already there
  • Others
    • on the process
By just writing this blog, I can now believe that this process can be very exhausting. Another day passes and the closer you come to the big day. Wish me luck. More posts to come.
