Make your checklist. First things first- a to do list! To help you manage all of your preparation there are a host of tools online to help you plan, check off your to do’s, and host an event you’ve envisioned. While most Indian weddings celebrate with multiple events, few follow in Western tradition with a wedding and a formal reception. While I search for a to do list which caters to planning multi-day celebration, several websites offer a “traditional” check list which can help you initiate the planning process. On www.Vertex42.com I found a great wedding checklist. An even more comprehensive spreadsheet can be found on Google Doc’s- wedding planner who teamed up with Style Me Pretty, my favorite blog. And, as you plan, there are some great tips and “must asks” on IndianWeddingWebsite.com to help guide and narrow your search for the perfect venue.
