LDS Wedding Planning to Do list for LDS grooms:
Planning and organizing your LDS Temple Wedding (Sealing), your wedding reception(s) and a honeymoon are all important decisions for both the LDS bride and LDS groom as they are some of your first major decisions together. (Yes, note I did saw receptions. Many times the LDS bride's and LDS groom's family may come from different part of the Country, or the World, which is especially true I the LDS bride and groom at BYU or other another college). In addition to the Groom’s Checklist above here are some the key decisions that you and your bride will need to address to make your LDS Temple Wedding and Wedding reception perfect:
1. Which LDS Temple will you be sealed in together for time and all eternity?
2. The date & time of your LDS wedding (Call the temple of choice for availability)
3. What will be your wedding theme
4. What will be your wedding colors
5. How many people and who will be invited to your LDS temple sealing
6. The guest list of those who will attend the wedding reception(s) only
7. Decide how you will politely and lovingly address possible issues of your LDS Temple Wedding with non-member guests
8. Who will be the members of your wedding party (what are their specific duties)
9. The type and style of wedding invitations to send out
10. Select & book wedding entertainment in advance for the wedding receptions
11. Select the important wedding vendors needed, such as:
Wedding photographers
Florists
Caterers
Videographers
Or just do all yourself (DIY Wedding) with friends and family helping
12. Select and book in advance the wedding reception site(s). You and your bride may decide to:
Use an LDS Church building’s cultural hall
Have a garden wedding reception
Have your wedding reception at the beach or at a lake
Do an Open House (or do open houses at the bride & groom parent's home)
Do an Open House at the bride and groom's new place.
Book with a private wedding venue
As a provident living LDS Groom and LDS Bride you will need to establish a realistic and practical wedding budget together. You should consult with your parents or other family members who are helping out with expenses. We recommend that you use a good Wedding Budget Planner to keep track of all the expenses
