Checkliste Hochzeit - alles im Überblick ohne Stress
Planning a wedding yourself is a major challenge. Especially for the newlyweds, the best day of their lives can quickly end in a lot of stress and conflict.
To prevent this from happening, it can be helpful to create a well-structured overview in good time so that no important points are overlooked. A wedding planning checklist gives you the opportunity to work through everything you need to do without losing your head. It is worth dividing the checklist into time intervals, e.g. 10 months before, 1 month before, 1 week before, 1 day before. You and your partner can then discuss and tick these off one by one.
How expensive can it get? Costs of a wedding
It is generally known that a wedding is not one of the cheapest events. The costs naturally vary depending on the setting in which you want to celebrate. It is therefore helpful to enquire about service providers for stationery, decorations and locations at an early stage so that you have a rough overview of costs right from the start. This way, you know exactly how much money is still available at any given time and where you can possibly invest less or more money.
Plan a wedding
You should start planning months before the wedding so that you can enjoy the wedding without stress and pressure. From creating an initial guest list and booking the honeymoon to researching wedding venues, you can plan a lot 12 months in advance and sort your to-dos into a wedding checklist. Of course, you can also involve a wedding planner in this process.
The perfect location for your wedding
One of the most important things that you should definitely not wait until shortly before the wedding to decide on is the wedding location. This involves choosing the registry office for the wedding ceremony and the location where you will celebrate with your loved ones afterwards. Depending on the theme of the wedding and the number of guests, you should look for suitable venues right at the start of the planning process so that you can request them promptly.
Did you know?
80% of all bridal couples underestimate the planning effort - a structured checklist saves time and nerves.
Celebrate your wedding, but do it right!
The big wedding day has finally arrived! Depending on how you want to get married, you can start well rested at the registry office or the church, or head straight to the ceremony location. After speeches, the cake, the bouquet toss and the first dance, entertainment such as a band, a DJ or fun games will ensure the best atmosphere. You can then tick off the last to-do with the start of your honeymoon and relax completely with your partner as a married couple.
Marriage abroad
Of course, your dream wedding doesn't have to take place in Germany! Especially for couples from two different cultures, for couples who love to travel or for couples who simply have wanderlust, a wedding abroad is just the thing! With a wedding abroad, there are of course a few other planning steps that should be taken into account so that there are no unpleasant surprises on the wedding day.
Wedding themes - authentic and completely you
Getting married involves two individual people who officially become one. To ensure that your wedding reflects exactly that, you should consider together whether you want to give your big day a theme, according to which the wedding decorations, the location and perhaps even the dress code will be based. Especially if a classic wedding is too boring for you, you can think about basing your celebration and dress code on a specific theme. For example, how about a wedding with a fairytale or time travel theme?
Conclusion
To be able to enjoy a stress-free wedding as a bridal couple without panicking, you should start preparing for the wedding early, not a few weeks before the wedding. The wedding planning should start 12 months before the wedding date in order to collect everything important in a wedding folder and on mood boards so that you can work on a comprehensive wedding checklist and have enough time. You are guaranteed not to forget anything and can discuss, reserve, book and buy everything in peace.
Most frequently asked questions
Ideally, you should buy your wedding dress 6 to 9 months before the wedding. This leaves enough time for the selection, any orders and necessary alterations. If you want a tailor-made dress, you should even start 9 to 12 months in advance.
A name change goes hand in hand with the civil marriage ceremony and proceeds as follows: Decision: You decide whether one of you will take the name of the other, choose a double name or both keep their names. Registration at the registry office: The choice of name is stated when registering for the marriage and entered in the marriage register. Remember to bring important documents for the registration (identity card, birth certificate and death or divorce certificate if applicable)! Receive the marriage certificate: After the wedding ceremony, you will receive the marriage certificate with the new name. Change of important documents: Identity card, passport, driver's license, health insurance, bank accounts, insurance companies, employers and other offices must be informed of the name change.
Save-the-date cards contain the first very rough information about your wedding. This can be the date, the location and a rough schedule. They are used to ensure that your guests keep the day free and are therefore sent out six months to a year before the wedding. Invitations , on the other hand, are more detailed and contain additional information such as time, theme/dress code, gift requests and so on. Invitations are sent out 3-6 months before the wedding with a request for acceptance or rejection and any information about +1 guests. While save the date cards are only an initial information, it is also sufficient if you only decide to send out the invitations.
If you want your bridesmaids' dresses to match a certain theme, you can give them a color or certain element (ruffles, pattern, cut) to choose their dresses from. If you have very specific ideas and want everyone to wear the same dress, you can pass this on to them. The same applies to the groomsmen, of course.
Getting wedding rings is of course a very important item on your to-do list when it comes to a wedding! In order to have enough time to produce and possibly customize the rings, you should choose and buy the rings, like the wedding dress, 6-9 months in advance.
