On the same note, if you want to marry in the tropics or always dreamed of a small, romantic ceremony abroad, you might want to check out some destination wedding possibilities as you embark on your wedding planning. Though a destination wedding can be costly, depending on the location you choose, you can also save money by combining the costs of ceremony, reception and honeymoon.

5) Find out what's proper and what's not with a good book on wedding etiquette. Weddings are a time when you need to make sure every last detail is correct. It's a lot to keep track of, and the right etiquette guide can help. Non-traditional wedding? Cross-cultural couple with multiple traditions to follow? You need to know what is expected of you — and what you can change to suit your own needs. Second marriage? Along with standard etiquette concerns, if you're an encore bride or marrying someone who already has children from a previous relationship, wedding planning comes with a few additional challenges. Not only will the right wedding etiquette book be of help — there are also plenty of online sources of great information on starting your new life, stepfamily and all.

6) Let wedding planning software do the planning for you!
The right software won't replace a book you can flip through, but it will make sure that you don't miss important dates and stay organized from start to "I do"!

7) Set up a wedding website and share your plans with others!
It's the Internet age, so why not take advantage of how easy it is to communicate with your friends and loved ones?
You can share details of the big day on your site, or even ask guests to RSVP online.
These days, you have lots of vendors to choose from, and all of them make it easy to set up a site of your own — no knowledge of HTML required! But which website provider should you choose?

8) Set priorities for yourself and your wedding.
Have you always wanted to go away to a far-off place to get married? Are there things you definitely DON'T want to take place on the big day? Would you like to get fit in order to look your best in your bridal gown?
The wedding software you choose will help you out with many of these issues, but you need to make a point to write down each and every thing you always wanted for your big day and then find a way to fit it into the occasion — or not.
