Planning a traditional wedding is often challenging. There seem to be a million and one things to remember and organise, and the clock is always ticking. All this organisation requires documentation, which usually needs to be agreed upon by multiple parties. That can be a headache if you try to do it the traditional way with hard paper copies mailed out, or even multiple emails and messaging.
“Understatement alert: planning a wedding can be complex,” says Reena Cruz, Content Marketing Manager at Xodo. “Multiple venues need to be booked in advance, while vendors and guests need all the details for the day to go smoothly. Then there are musicians to be booked, and flowers, and accommodation. The list goes on, and more and more people are turning to technology to accomplish this Everest of organisation.
How you can make nuptial planning easier with awesome online documentation solutions
Reena recommends Xodo’s easy-to-use online PDF documentation tools to help you plan your wedding. Xodo’s solutions can help streamline the following essentials:
Travel arrangements
How is everyone getting there? Perhaps you’re laying on a charabanc! Everyone relevant needs to know so they can communicate and coordinate. And if your wedding’s out in the country, getting there might be a challenge. Everyone needs more than the right address and location: They may need to know which haystack to drive past and which farm lane to turn down to get to the right converted barn.
Some locations can be tricky to get to, and navigation details are required that online maps may not supply. Documenting these fine details online to later be shared can help people get there on time,.
Seating plan
Who sits where at the wedding reception? Documenting this detail before the wedding reception can save much confusion in the marquee on the day.
Vendor arrangements
Weddings can involve a large and complex process of procurement. Everything around wedding vendor arrangements needs to be agreed upon and signed off on long before the big day. Sealing the deal by preserving the agreement in PDF form can make the process more rational and transparent.
Agreement signing
Agreements between you and your vendors and suppliers must be signed. Doing this online in PDF form makes the process rational and secure.
Venue Management
Wedding service and reception venues are usually booked up well in advance. Once booked, the details of your wedding venues need to be listed, and doing so online for easy access anywhere makes venue management easier.
Communicating the wedding process
Who needs to be where, when, and what kind of wedding is it anyway? Documenting details like this digitally means you can let everyone know what to expect when the big day arrives, from your mobile device.
Menus
Some people have specific dietary requirements, and these requirements need to be known long in advance of the wedding reception so that all guests can be catered for. Editable PDF form is a great way to do this so that once these details are all known, they can be shared later with guests, etc.
Anytime, anywhere
Having your wedding planning documents available on any device can make wedding planning less stressful and more doable – while you’re on the move, or during downtime.
Dynamic online documentation can be a game changer when organising all of the above. Why? All these wedding planning essentials need to be listed, amended, agreed, and signed off on in advance of your wedding. It can simplify the whole process with an all-in-one tool that can enable you to let everyone involved – guests, vendors, artists, florists, etc. – know all they need to know to make the day go smoothly.
What’s great is that once documents have been agreed upon, they are locked in PDF form with Xodo so that their content is then ‘set in stone’, and everyone knows where they stand – or where they’re going and how to get there. It’s incredibly important to keep organised and productive during the wedding planning process. That way you’re free to enjoy the emotional and social side of things without sweating the small stuff.”
