If you are about going to the altar with your sweetheart, then planning well for the event is extremely important. Lots of activities will take up your time and the likelihood of you forgetting some important aspects during the preparation cannot be overlooked.
A wedding planner can help you in taking charge of the preparations but you may still need your friends around at some point in this time. This is where the wedding planning committee of friends comes into play. It comprises your bosom friends who would help you out in ensuring that your wedding day becomes a most memorable one.
You can set up a committee of friends for wedding by drawing up a list of your friends around. Inform each and every one of them that you are counting on him/her to make your wedding a success. If you are a member of a social club or an organization, then getting a group of friends to form the committee becomes easy as some of these social clubs are formed to help members out when they wed or perform other social gathering.
Before you consider of a committee of friends for your wedding, you must have to make decision on what the role(s) would be in the course of the wedding. Your choice may depend on your wedding theme.
You may decide to set up your wedding planning committee of friends to assist you in the following areas:
Donate money for you, put on uniform as the groom’s men or bridal train, help in logistics planning, decoration of reception venue, or any other area you may find their assistance useful. It is important to note that your committee of friends is a potential wedding and event planner for you.
When picking friends that would form members of your wedding committee of friends, the following questions needs to be well thought-out.
* Does the friend you are counting have the time to go the extra miles for you? This should be considered because in planning for wedding, things don’t always work as planned and events you never planned for might crop up. So, it would only take committed friends to go the extra miles for you.
* Can you trust the friend when it comes to handling cash? If your committee has to assist you in buying and paying for items and materials for the wedding you absolutely need friends that can be trusted. He or she should possess the sense of accountability.
* Does the friend have a distinctive skill? Since preparations for wedding involve lots of activities, you need friends who are skillful to carry out some of the tasks. Some of your friends in the group should be qualified drivers, record keepers, decorators, logistics planners, singers, or professional event planners etc.
* Can the friend work in harmony with others? The strength of any committee of friends lies in unity of its members. You must select a friend who can work harmoniously with others to ensure that your wedding becomes successful.
If you take the above questions into consideration before you draw up a list of the friends for your committee of friends, you have taken a right step to guarantee a successful wedding. On the other hand, selecting the wrong people can as well put a hitch on your wedding ceremony planning.
Even so, you should never put all your trust in a committee as things might as well go wrong. What I mean is that your friends are humans and some incidents might just be outside their control. Excuses may come up every now and then before or during the preparation. So, ensure that you have an alternative plan to make your wedding a successful one.
Finally, having a committee of friends for your wedding is an excellent idea in view of the fact that it would help lessen the pressure you might bump into when you plan for your wedding.
