A lot of people resist the urge to pay thousands of dollars for a wedding planner and choose to go the DIY route and plan their own weddings. If you fall into this category and are planning your own ceremony, check out these helpful tips below and make that special day, one you can be proud of.

When you are getting married, ask for help from family and friends, especially those who have gone through the wedding process before. They will help to offer you exceptional advice, as they have the experience that is necessary to give input on your decision. Tap into the heads of your loved ones for sound information.

The most critical factor to keep in mind when you are getting married is of course the person you are marrying! Absolutely do not make this life-changing decision in haste. Consider the things you need in a relationship, the thing you'd prefer to do without, and how all this applies to your potential partner.

Sometimes a good wedding tip is to keep it simple! The more detailed and extravagant the more expensive. Sure it is the best moment of your life, but perhaps that money could be better spent on a house, or even the most amazing vacation ever which we colloquially call a honeymoon.

Choose your reception venue with the guests in mind. If your family is mostly elderly then you aren't likely to choose a location with a lot of stairs, or a big dance floor. If you have anyone in your family who is handicapped then you should ensure that the venue knows they're coming and will make everything accessible to them.

Make your wedding child-friendly. Chances are you've invited some guests who are going to bring their kids, and it will only benefit you to make some small accommodations that will keep them happy. Have the caterer to bring some kid-friendly cuisine and supply a few little parties favors to keep the children busy and well behaved on your special day.
