Planning Your Big Day!
Building on last month’s list of the things all newly engaged couples should do first, we continue with the next four things wedding experts suggest you focus on as you plan your big day.
Step 6: Insure the ring!
It might seem like you’re tempting fate by thinking about protecting your new valuable purchase. However, we think it’s better to be safe than sorry!
First off, it’s in these early days after your engagement that you are showing the ring around. You are also likely taking it on and off to polish it! It may not feel like a part of you yet and if it falls off you may not notice until it’s long gone.
Second, a lot of money was spent on this small piece of bling. Protect your investment! Enough said.
Step 7: Set up a wedding registry.
Unless you love random candy dishes and vases and other possibly regifted items, take the time to select gifts and set up online registries at your favorite stores. This is the best way to receive gifts that you really want.
Check out one of our recent blog posts about setting up a wedding registry for tips.
Step 8: Hire wedding planner.
If you have the budget for it, professional wedding planners can really help lighten the load, stress wise.
However, there is another option! When you choose a venue like the Bellport Country Club, you will have the benefit of professional event planners to help with everything–food, beverages, flowers, cake and more.

Step 9: How many guests?
This topic is important because knowing how many people you need (want) to invite will allow you to make the most of your wedding budget. You can make better choices when it comes to per-person cost, size of room needed and more.
Don’t forget to ask your parents for their guest lists, too! (Especially if they are paying!)
OK, now you are ready to start shopping around for a venue. The Bellport Country Club offers several onsite locales — beach, golf course, outside patio, inside magnificent ballroom… the choice is yours!
