There are so many things going on at the moment, the holidays, the pandemic, everything related to the election, working a full time job, etc. It’s all so stressful! But, there is always time to plan one of the best days of your life. Making time for things that you’re excited for and make you happy is always a good idea. Here are a few things that may be helpful!

A big thing when planning a wedding is finding the right venue. Will it be able to fit enough people, does it match the aesthetic you’re going for, and is the price within your budget? Those are a few questions that you may ask yourself. But, because of everything going on, they may alter a little bit. One thing you will need to be sure and research is restrictions that may be in place within your state. Social distancing, masks are required, or only a certain amount is allowed in the building or area at one time. Do not fret! Your day will be perfect, no matter the restrictions. Making it more intimate with the family and friends you are closest with may be more memorable and the best solution all together.

Sending out invitations is huge! Letting people know when and where you are getting married is extremely important. A great place to start is online at BasicInvite.com! Basic Invite has a card for everyone! They offer 180 colors options, different paper types, over 900 wedding invitations sets, custom samples, FREE address printing on the envelopes, and so much more. The process is all done online, the Customer Service team is always there to answer any questions, and once you are finished, it will be sent straight to your home through the mail! Everything they have is 100% customizable, and it's easy to create a perfect invite to match your perfect day.

There are things that may seem small, but they add big stresses to your mind the day of the big event! Make sure that your dress, hair, and make up are perfect. Pictures will be taken, and you will want to look glowing in every single one of them. Food, dessert, and music may seem small, but they are important. You have to make sure they are able to be served individually, so everyone doesn’t have to touch the same utensils, and the music has to definitely be enjoyable! Another thing that is always nice to look back on is who was there to enjoy your day. Basic Invite offers are guest books that all of your guests can sign their names and leave a special note for you! Finally, leaving the party. Your exit from your wedding should be fun and special, and the get away car should be ready and packed for anything left planned for the rest of the night.

No matter what is going on in our world currently, it shouldn’t stop you from having a memorable day with your spouse and loved ones. There are rules when having events, but follow them, take all the pictures, eat all the food, and dance the night away. Don’t worry about all of the craziness going on until after your wedding day. Just be cautious and safe, but also have fun.
