What is a first step when considering priorities for a couple's wedding?

  1. Determining the guest list size

  2. Finding out the total budget for the wedding

  3. Choosing a wedding date

  4. Researching possible venues

The correct answer is: Finding out the total budget for the wedding

Establishing the total budget for the wedding is a crucial first step in the planning process because it fundamentally shapes every other decision that follows. The budget acts as a framework within which the couple can operate, influencing their choices regarding the guest list, venue, and date. Without a clear understanding of how much they can spend, it becomes challenging to make informed decisions about other priorities and details of the wedding. Once the budget is set, the couple can prioritize their preferences in areas such as venue selection, guest count, and specific elements they wish to incorporate into their celebration. This methodical approach ensures that all planning efforts are aligned with financial expectations, preventing overspending and stress later on in the planning process.
