Introduction
Planning a wedding is a task that requires meticulousness and much attention to detail. Usually, the best way to organize a wedding is to hire a professional manager with the skills and connections needed for such a task. The managers responsibilities include developing the wedding plan with the clients, planning activities, assigning roles among the guests, finding appropriate staff, inventory, and decorations, and controlling the whole process at every stage. It is helpful to prepare a list of assumptions based on preliminary data to use as a basis for a wedding planner. An indentured list is a valuable and convenient tool for visually representing all stages and activities included in the wedding ceremony together with the responsible persons.
Discussion
Developing a list of assumptions is essential to begin planning the wedding. One of the top priorities is to establish the scale of the wedding. Considering that Tony is from a large farming family and Peggy Sue is from an affluent political family, a medium wedding with up to 150 guests is probable (Thomas, 2022). Since Tony is from a large family with small-town roots and Peggy Sue likely has many acquaintances, an equal distribution of guests of all ages can be assumed (Thomas, 2021). As both families are traditional, a similar wedding ceremony will likely be preferred (Mackey, 2022). Weddings with more than 100 guests averaged $38,000 in budget in 2021, so settling with a 15-percent cushion at $43,000 is an option (The Knot 2021 Real Weddings Study). With the initial assumptions made, it is possible to begin settling on the activities.
The next step is to develop a WBS and a corresponding list of activities. A WBS is an efficient way to present a structured process visually (Online PM Courses Mike Clayton, 2019). The Work Breakdown Structure for the wedding ceremony preparation divides the process into three levels of activities and assigns responsible persons. Primary (P) and Supporting (S) roles are assigned to the responsible persons to prevent misunderstandings and conflicts during planning. The Work Breakdown Structure can be found in Appendix A.
