Months of planning is required to execute your grand wedding ceremony successfully from arranging the venue to the guest list and caterers.

Choosing a wedding venue or a banquet hall is one of the topmost priorities for couples. Look out for a venue that is easily accessible to everyone and has the capacity to accommodate all your guests.
Once you have selected your venue, decide on your wedding decoration, whether you have dreamed of a traditional wedding or an exotic, multi-day celebration.
This is the perfect time to start preparing for the fun and frolic of a wedding. Decide on a wedding theme and accordingly get your wedding cards designed and printed. Book a hair stylist, beautician and henna artist well in advance to ensure you do not need to run around at the last moment to make these arrangements.
Traditionally, invitations should go out 3 months before the wedding. This gives guests plenty of time to clear their schedule and make travel arrangements if they do not live in town. A lot of couples also send out save-the-date cards that should go out around this time. Also, start booking vehicles for pickups and drops on your wedding day.
Planning for your honeymoon plays an important role in order to begin the journey of a lifetime on a compatible and romantic note. As a couple, planning a honeymoon will be the first step where you start making decisions and understand each other's likes and dislikes.

Fix a budget for your honeymoon and accordingly decide if you will be traveling domestic or international.
