Your Day: Planning the Big Event

Share the wonderful news with your parents/guardians first. Involving both sets of parents from the beginning can make the planning process much more rewarding for everyone. If your families haven't met yet, arrange for them to meet for a casual brunch or dinner.

As you arrange the details of your wedding day remember to ask immediate and extended family members for suggestions, advice and help. You may find they have just the right idea for you. By doing this you'll also head off any potential problems or conflicts.
