3. Agree Your Wedding Budget

Knuckle down quickly to agreeing how much you, your husband-to-be (and anyone else who will be contributing financially to your wedding) plan to spend.

4. Agree What is Important to You and Your Guests

Making a list of what is important to you, then asking your loved ones about their preferences will help you to make the right selection and appropriate arrangements.

• Do you all want to stay in the same accomodations?


• What hotel amenities do you want?


• How much 'group time' do you want and how much 'couple time'?


• If you are having attendants, what are the financial obligations on both sides ... who is paying for what?


• Do you want to pre-book some group excursions?
