· Planning
While they’re not as serious as your traditional wedding, you still need to a bit of planning for your home wedding. Do you or your parents have a home big enough? To answer this, you’ll need to come up with your potential guest list, the kind of reception you want, and the food you want to serve.
· Preparation

· Plan B
Your home wedding is most likely going to be an outdoor wedding. With outdoor weddings, you are always going to need a plan B for just in case. For example, if it rains our advice is to have a backup tent. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, things can go wrong. So, it is nice to be prepared.
