Organising a last minute wedding is totally possible, we\u2019ve been helping couples do this exact same thing for years, so here are some top tips from one of our wedding experts, Chloe.<\/p>\n
One of the best things about a last minute wedding is that a short engagement means you stay firmly in the exciting engagement bubble. And it continues until the day you say \u201cI do\u201d!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The first thing you need to do is choose your wedding date<\/a>. You can\u2019t start planning your wedding unless you know when it\u2019s all going to happen.<\/p>\n Try to be as flexible about the day as possible as weekends in the peak summer season may already be booked up and will cost more.<\/p>\n There is usually more availability if you opt for a midweek wedding. And anyway, there\u2019s something quirky about going against the traditional Saturday afternoon wedding day. Many couples start looking at venues at this point, but it’s still not quite time for that yet! You need to know your approximate numbers first as each wedding venue will have a maximum capacity.<\/p>\n Sit down with your partner and come up with a guest list together and go from there. Finding your wedding venue is likely to be a big decision for you both, so you\u2019ll need to spend some time researching and visiting a few wedding venues.<\/p>\n Some wedding venues will offer discounts for last minute weddings<\/a>, and if you can find a venue with an all-inclusive wedding package that’ll take a lot of the hard work out of last minute wedding planning. As soon as your wedding venue is booked, it\u2019s time to send out your invites. Remember, you\u2019re not giving a whole lot of notice and people have busy lives, so the earlier you let them know, the better.<\/p>\n You can cut out snail mail and send invites via email, text or WhatsApp. It\u2019s also much easier to get RSVPs that way too.<\/p>\n Simply head online to find a wedding invitation template and get creative! Wedding planning involves a lot of tasks, so find a wedding checklist online and it will outline everything you need to cover. That way, you\u2019re not going to forget anything important.<\/p>\n
