Weddings can be stressful for everyone involved. There are many decisions to make and having loved ones interfere can make it harder, no matter what their intentions are. This article will help you plan your wedding smoothly.
You want to think about and practice your aisle walk prior to your wedding day. This absolutely needs to be done where the event is taking place with the exact footwear you plan on wearing on the big day. In this way, you can be sure everything will go smoothly on your wedding day.
You can save money by choosing an off season wedding date. This would be sometime that is not between May and September. Wedding venues are more expensive during these months. If you really want your wedding during this season, book as far in advance as possible for a great deal.
Alcohol can be a big expense at a wedding, so consider limiting the types of drinks and opt for cost efficient choices. Just letting people drink all they want can really add up, especially if the reception lasts a long time. Ask about the different serving options your venue offers regarding alcohol.
Use the property of someone you know. If you’re friends with someone who owns a large backyard, you can have a cheaper wedding there. You can make sure the cleaning and setup is done, of course, but that is the only thing you should have to pay for regarding the wedding venue.
Ethnic catering can give your reception that extra spice your guests crave. Chicken and steak have been done to death, so you may want to branch out a little. Variety makes things interesting and will ensure you have a memorable dinner!
Let your DJ know what he absolutely should not play. Perhaps it’s heavy metal, or country music, or even a previous lover’s “special song”. Make sure that let the one you are marrying know as well.
Consider how many people will be dancing at your reception when you look at the dance floors of your possible reception venues. Nothing is as bad as getting crammed into a tight area like sardines when the guests around you are dancing, so clear out any furniture necessary to give space to those wanting to groove.
Practice walking down the aisle in front of a full-length mirror to make sure you know what you’re doing, especially if you’re going to be wearing heels. If you are worried about a twisted ankle, choose attractive flats instead. Wouldn’t you rather have mediocre-looking footwear than wearing something that could cause harm?
Congratulations on having made it to this point. The planning obviously hasn’t frightened you, so you’re ready to get the show on the road. Make your wedding one of a kind. These tips can help you have the wedding of your dreams.
