You should treat your wedding guest list as trimming a Christmas tree – you can’t fit every ornament on there. Focus on close friends, family members, colleagues, and anyone else who’ll buy you a decent wedding gift. However, you should avoid inviting everyone as the more people you invite, the more people you’ll have to feed. Channel your inner minimalist and only keep the people who spark joy.

Ah, the wedding dress! The magical outfit you’ve been dreaming of ever since you understood what a marriage is. Consider online stores with express shipping or visit local bridal shops that offer off-the-rack dresses. Just keep in mind that you should keep sufficient time for some heavy-duty tailoring.

You’ll need an enthusiastic, vibrant, and joyful team of unpaid, loyal volunteers (a.k.a. your bridal party) to help you pull your special day. If you haven’t confirmed your plans with your besties yet, do it ASAP.

After all, you’ll need a happy tribe of wedding-obsessed friends and colleagues to give opinions (lots of opinions), run errands, and keep you sane. Delegate like a boss – cake tasting, flower arrangements, and maybe even a foot massage for yourself.

You may know the importance of a good wedding photographer if you’ve ever been to a wedding where the photos look like they were taken on a potato. Read online reviews, contact your tribe, and finalize a talented photographer. Worst-case scenario, bribe a talented friend with free drinks to shoot your wedding.

If you aren’t into DJs and all, you can DIY your very own wedding music! How about creating a fun, killer playlist on Spotify? Just make sure to include a mix of upbeat dance tracks, slow songs, and some nice crowd-pleasers to get the party in mood.

Do make sure to skip “Macarena” and “Cha-Cha Slide,” unless you want Aunt Pushpa or Manju to break a hip.

Cout on eco-friendly, fast, and perfect digital wedding invites for your special day. You can find tons of beautiful, customizable templates online, and you can send them through social media or via email. Your family and guests will love you for saving trees (and postage).

While we all love Grandma’s Dal Baati churma and all, we probably don’t want her handling dinner for 100-200 guests. So plan well in advance!

After learning all about how to plan a perfect wedding in 30 days, you may not have the energy or funds left for an elaborate honeymoon. But who says you need to leave right away? Consider a “mini-moon” – a weekend getaway at a nearby destination.

Last but not least, don’t forget to breathe. When things get stressful, take a step back, pour yourself a glass of wine (or two), and remind yourself why you’re doing all this in the first place—to marry the love of your life. That’s the real magic behind the madness!
