Hi again. No, you will not need to present drink to your husband during your Marriage Send-forth Party. And you will not have to wear an Aso-ebi to the marriage send-forth party.

*The Marriage send-forth party is just an ordinary, free-style party that your friends may throw for you to bid you farewell to the ‘Singles club’. You wear what you like, usually a casual party look, and just go and have fun. It is not a Traditional Party. There is no set-requirements for this type of party. You just show up and have fun. If you decide to do it like an Igba Nkwu ceremony, that is fine – because it’s your wedding and there is no fixed way to do it.

*Blessing of Marriage on Same Day As what? I don’t get your question, but you can go read our post that explains how to plan a Trad and White Wedding on the Same Day, and that post gives sample Program of Events. You can use ideas from that post (as you like) to plan your own day. *Read to the end of the post for all the tips.

Hope that helps.

Hi. Marriage send-forth party is an informal type of party that close friends and/ or family or office colleagues throw for the bride or groom. It is not mandatory, and not every bride/ groom gets this done for them.

Marriage send-forth party is has nothing to do with the Traditional Marriage rites or Igba Nkwu.

Hope that helps.

Hi Unforgettable, check out our page for N200k micro-wedding budget. Also, you can use our free wedding budget calculator for a breakdown – there you can enter the amount and see a breakdown display to you.

Let me know how that works for you.

Hi Faith, welcome here. I understand how you feel, as it’s less than 3 months to July. Don’t be confused. Relax, it will be okay. There’s still some time to plan it well. I have ready-made plan with To-Do list or checklist to help you.

I created a ready-made plan for quick weddings in a short time like this, and you can follow them (below):
–Checklist for Planning a Wedding in 3 Months (To Do List)

*I assume that you already have set a budget (amount). If so, get an expense/ spending breakdown by using our automatic wedding budget calculator – just enter your budget amount and you’ll see a breakdown you can use to plan.

Just make sure to:

-Avoid any big plans that can complicate or delay things.

Relax, follow the plan in either our 3 -month or 1-month planning checklist and you should be fine.

Good evening ma.my name is faithfulness my wedding is on junly 23 and am confused

Hi Helen, thanks for your feedback and for taking the time to read through the comments (lots of value in there). You’re doing well by planning now in advance towards your September wedding.

Here’s my reply to your questions regarding things to prepare for:

-First, do a budget breakdown: Use NaijaGlamWedding’s automatic wedding calculator to breakdown your N2m Budget into Expense Categories, to avoid overspending.
-Set a date: Use our tips to pick the best wedding dates and dates to avoid

-Set a number on number of guests to invite, and work with your caterer to make sure you have the number of guests you can afford to feed: If you need help on how to make a guest list. And after making a guest list, you find it’s more than you can feed, read this on how to reduce guest list, who to invite and who to remove.

-Find and book a venue: Here are the things to look out for when searching for a wedding venue.

-Make a list of what to buy: I already made a list of common wedding things to buy (list of expenses)

-Choose bridesmaids and groomsmen: You can pick bridesmaids who you can also make your planning helpers. I wrote tips on bridesmaids duties and the photos of best bridesmaid dresses.

-Vendors: You need to hire caterers, venue decorators, photographers, DJ, MC, and more. Some need to be booked in advance to avoid disappointment. I have tips on where and how to find vendors for Nigerian wedding.

-Pick colour combos and buy your outfits. Choosing wedding colours is kind of personal, as one woman’s best colour is another’s worst colour. I always ask brides to base their wedding colour combo around their everyday best colour(s). Once you set your Main Wedding Colour, next is to search or ask for matching colours that go with that. So, let me ask you: what is your best colour or the best 3 colours that you gravitate towards? Start from there.

==>To help you and other brides pick a wedding colour combo, I put together a series of Lists of Matching Colour Combinations for Different Colours (nearly 200 combos, and we’ll keep adding to that). *More combos are in the comment section.

==>If you’ll be having Aso-ebi Colours for your guests and relatives, you also first have to set a main colour – easiest to pick from one of your best everyday colours and find a colour combo from fashion websites or magazines. Colour combos are easier picked from fashion photos, and you can find ideas from these:
>Celebrity Wedding Aso-ebi Styles and Colours
>Trending Aso-ebi styles and colours

Finally, it’s important to stay organized throughout your wedding planning process. You need a step by step organizer that spells out everything you should prepare for, and exactly when/ the order to do them, and that’s what a checklist or wedding to-do list is for
==> White Wedding Checklist

==> Traditional Wedding Checklist (this post you’re on, above)

==> 2-in-1 Trad and White Wedding Same Day Planning Guide

==> 18 Steps Nigerian Wedding Plan

Please use the wedding checklists I made, they contain anything I have forgotten to mention to you above. You are early in your planning and have enough time, every week do something in the checklist and slowly you’ll finish all your wedding planning preparations.

All the best.
