Host an Engagement Party
Make your “I will!” as fabulous as the “I do!” An engagement party not only shares your joy with family and friends, but honours those closest to you by including them right from the start. Whether an intimate family celebration, a bash with friends or an elegant prelude to your big day, have fun making the occasion uniquely yours, with your event planner helping you select the perfect setting and special touches. It’s great practice too for the bigger celebration to come! 

Secure your Wedding Venue
Decide on your ideal wedding season and date, then the venue. Of course, if you dream of al fresco nuptials, a festive holiday celebration or a specially meaningful date, the early bird catches the worm as they say - you may have to book up to a year in advance for a popular site or date. Keep an open mind and call your HKJC wedding planner for previews from the dozens of picture-perfect settings available to you, at racecourses to countryside retreats to sophisticated city clubhouses.

Pre-Wedding Photo Moments
The right photographer is key to capturing images of your unique love story prior to the big day itself. Find the talent with the right “eye” for your vision – then collaborate to get creative! Select a location with special meaning – where you first met or experienced a milestone moment together. Reflect your joint hobbies or interests, have beloved pets share the spotlight or choose a theme complete with costume. The sky’s the limit to come up with one-of-a-kind images that will make you smile for years to come.

Master Your Guest List
Make your wedding guest list manageable – by starting big! It may sound counter-intuitive, but first write down the names of every single person you’d like to invite. Only then can you see how much you may have to whittle down according to your wedding set-up, budget and desired guest mix. Star the guests earmarked for special treatment so they don’t get lost in the shuffle. Most important, once you’ve refined the guest list, stick to it!

Plump for a Pre-honeymoon

If you start to feel a bit overwhelmed with details and decisions, take a step back and make room for a little “we” time away. A mini break or holiday with your soon-to-be-spouse may be just the ticket to relieve stress, reconnect and talk about anything OTHER than your impending wedding. Take a moment, exhale and return with renewed excitement.

Seating Assignment
The RSVPs are in so now’s the time to envision guest seating. Assigning seats makes everything flow more smoothly, or simply organise by table for guests to choose their place. Who will be guests of honour at head tables, which friends will want to sit together, who do you want to connect with each other? Put names on cards and use the room table layout to put together seat assignments like a jigsaw puzzle. Engineer your celebration for every guest to have the best time ever with friends old and new!

Trial Runs
Make appointments in plenty of time to try out hair styles, makeup and accessories. Re-visit the venue to go through the rundown with your planner. Make any minor adjustments to menus, florals or entertainment. The more your mind is at ease, the more you can approach your big day with confidence, concentrating only on the happiness you are feeling and the fun your guests are having.

Jump Start the Celebrations
Pre-wedding celebrations add to your bank of precious memories and build anticipation for the main event. In addition to a bridal shower, bachelor or bachelorette party, consider a family-only occasion, thank-you party for all those who have given support and separate get-together with friends and relatives who have arrived from abroad for the occasion. Let your hair down and blow off a little steam yourself by hosting a fun race outing, wine tasting, games night or countryside BBQ with outdoor entertainment for the kids. 

Calm Wedding Jitters
Make space for a little pampering, from a massage to a full-on spa day. Find moments for whatever relaxes you most, like a meditation or yoga class. Fresh air and sunshine work wonders; take a sunset stroll or even work out the kinks with a vigorous hike. Now is the perfect time to do whatever makes you feel refreshed and at your best.
