I have covered most things that one would expect when doing the wedding yourself. There’s props for the ceremony, tables/chairs etc for the reception, a drink station/glasses/cups etc and even provision for a kid’s table, if that’s what you were wanting. I wouldn’t even begin to contemplate paying for a wedding planner. If there’s one thing I love doing and that’s organising and what better event to organise than your own wedding. The costs you would save would be monumental. We have a very low budget and most things I already own or am picking up at garage sales, markets and second hand stores, although they can be costly sometimes. In the above check list I have included a photo booth, but we’re not having that. I’ll probably update the list to include something else like attendant’s gifts and outfits or something like that.
I have also included a blank one so you can set it up for yourself just the way you want it. I’m now starting to feel a bit better organised with the wedding, especially for all these little things. I’ve got a spreadsheet set up for things like the celebrant, photographer, caterer and the overall budget. I hope you can get some use out of these like I am. You can download the filled out one here or the blank one here.
