The proposal has been accepted, a date has been set and now it\u2019s time to get everything checked off your wedding planning checklist! Let Rakuten help you with wedding ideas from our extensive list of merchants, who are there to make your wedding planning timeline go as smoothly and as stress-free as possible.<\/p>\n

There are a number of wedding planning tips to consider before you begin. First, work out your wedding budget. Next, decide if there will be groomsmen, bridesmaids, junior bridesmaids, flower girls, ring bearers or other attendants. Think carefully about the type of dresses<\/a> your bridesmaids will wear. Research and reserve your venue, photographer, band, florist and caterer. Select and order your wedding invitations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To keep the wedding cost down, make sure you go through Rakuten for promo codes to get fantastic deals from our merchants, including those who will provide you with your save-the-date cards, invitations, wedding dress, flower arrangements and hotel reservations<\/a> for the honeymoon.<\/p>\n

Among other things on your checklist should be purchasing the rings, booking a venue for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, selecting and ordering the cake, scheduling hair and makeup appointments and purchasing the wedding gown and shoes<\/a>. Don\u2019t forget a very important entry on your wedding checklist: Break in your wedding shoes before the event so you can dance all night long!<\/p>\n

For a wedding on a budget, always use the Rakuten Cash Back button to earn money to pay for your bridesmaids\u2019 thank-you gifts<\/a>. What\u2019s even better is that you can purchase those gifts by using coupon codes through Rakuten!<\/p>\n","url":"https:\/\/www.rakuten.com\/blog\/category\/wedding-planning\/","hasPart":[{"@type":"BlogPosting","@id":"https:\/\/www.rakuten.com\/blog\/how-to-plan-virtual-bridal-shower\/","headline":"How to Plan and Host a Virtual Bridal Shower","url":"https:\/\/www.rakuten.com\/blog\/how-to-plan-virtual-bridal-shower\/","datePublished":"2021-02-20","dateModified":"2021-02-19","mainEntityOfPage":"https:\/\/www.rakuten.com\/blog\/how-to-plan-virtual-bridal-shower\/","author":{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/www.rakuten.com\/blog\/author\/lauren-barth\/#Person","name":"Lauren Barth","url":"https:\/\/www.rakuten.com\/blog\/author\/lauren-barth\/","identifier":161,"description":"Lauren is a digital editor, freelance writer, and Instagram aficionado with a feisty five-year-old boy and a sassy two-year-old diva at home.
