Wedding Planning for the Uninterested Half: Your Game Plan for the Big Day

Updated: Jan 29

Alright, team—let's be real. Wedding planning might not be on your list of favorite things, but your wedding day is basically the Super Bowl of relationships. You wouldn't just show up to a game without a strategy, right? So, consider this your playbook for how to handle wedding planning like a pro, even if you'd rather be watching the highlights than picking out centerpieces.




Step One: Build Your Dream Team

Planning a wedding is like assembling the ultimate team for the championship game—you need the right players in every position. Here's your line-up:

Partner: Team captain—leading the charge, calling the plays, and keeping the momentum going.

You: Quarterback—making key decisions, supporting the game plan, and calling plays as needed.

Wedding Party: Like drafting your fantasy team, you'll want to pick your MVPs, your trusted squad—groomsmen, bridesmaids, or whoever's got your back. These are your starters, the ones who'll be right beside you for every big moment, from the pre-game warmup (getting ready) to the victory celebration (the reception).

Venue: Your home-field advantage. (Hello, Red Gate Farms!) Like any great game, location matters, and the right venue can elevate the whole experience. From the pre-game setup to the final buzzer, Red Gate Farms sets the tone for your success.

Vendors: Your all-star coaching staff—from florists to caterers, Red Gate Farms has a preferred vendor for every need, style, and budget. After you book, our wedding specialist, a seasoned professional who will guide you through the entire process, will sit down with you at a kickstart session to get to know your vibe, your playbook (aka your style), your budget, and everything you need for game day. Then, we'll perfectly match you with vendors who will execute your vision flawlessly, so all the details are covered without breaking a sweat. With this dream team behind you, you're set to crush the wedding day and leave with a victory worthy of a trophy!

Step Two: Run Your Plays (aka, Your Responsibilities)

Guest List Input: A team isn't a team without its fans, and a game isn't the same without the energy and support of those who cheer you on. Think of the guest list as your fan base. Your friends and family are the ones who'll be there to celebrate every big moment and keep the excitement going. Ensure your supporters make the list, and help back up your partner in filling out the rest of the roster.

Suiting Up: Think of this as getting your uniform ready for game day. Whether it's a suit, tux, or something more casual, make sure you and your team (the groomsmen) are looking sharp for all the highlight reels (aka wedding photos).

The Registry: This is the equipment list for your future home base. Jump in, and add items you'll actually use—grills, cool kitchen gadgets, or a killer sound system. You don't want your whole line-up to be fancy dishware.

The Vows: This is your halftime speech, the pep talk of a lifetime. It doesn't have to be Shakespeare, but it should come from the heart. Make it personal, but you can totally slip in a movie quote or two. Think Rocky or The Godfather—you've got this.

Music & Food Input: It's time to call an audible. Make sure the playlist includes your favorite jams so the party has a beat you can move to. The same goes for the food—throw in something you'll actually want to chow down on, whether it's ribs, burgers, pizza, or BBQ.

Bachelor(ette) Party: You might not be in charge of the whole event, but be sure to communicate what kind of shenanigans you are (and aren't) down for. This is your last big pre-game party, so have fun without losing your MVP status.

Step Three: Trust the Coaches

Wedding planning is like preparing for a championship season—it's all about strategy and teamwork. You've got a playbook (your timeline), a head coach (your wedding specialist), and your offensive and defensive coordinators (a star-studded vendor line-up), courtesy of Red Gate Farms. They'll handle the behind-the-scenes work, like your assistant coaches calling the right plays, while you focus on enjoying the big day. You can trust them to make your day as special as you've always imagined.

So don't stress. Just like any great team, planning is a group effort. We've got the venue, vendors, and support staff ready to make your day epic. All you have to do is get in the game and score that lifetime partnership with your team captain. You're not alone in this; we're here to support you every step of the way.

So get in the game, trust the process, and let's make your wedding day a victory worthy of the highlight reel! Reach out to one of our Wedding Specialists at Red Gate Farms today, and let's get your game plan in motion!
