Unfortunately, many people experience too much stress during wedding planning to enjoy what should be one of the happiest times of their life. The following tips will help you make that special day one that is remembered as something joyous rather than something stressful.
Your main concern when getting married is, of course, the individual you are going to marry. This is a huge commitment, and rushing into things for the sake of being married may be catastrophic. Take care to consider the person’s characteristics–both the things that you love about them and the aspects that are challenging.
When picking out a makeup artist, make sure you see what looks they have created previously. Do you like the style of the make up? Consider doing a trial run before the big day. Don’t be one of those people who is stuck with makeup they don’t like an hour before they walk down the aisle.
If you cannot justify the cost of a thousand-dollar wedding cake, consider contacting a local bakery and inquiring about single-serving portions, like cupcakes or cake pops. Some bakeries are able to make healthier cupcakes that contain less than 100 calories in each serving providing you with healthier options such as fruit- fillings in replacement to frosting, calorie-free sweeteners and gluten-free ingredients.
Although it’s important to give the wedding DJ a list with songs you want to play at your reception, it is also important to inform him of those you DON’T want played. It doesn’t matter what type of music. Make sure to tell your husband-to-be what type of music won’t be played.
You can save a lot of money by purchasing cupcakes or mini tarts rather than a large tiered wedding cake. Times have changed and despite the oddness you may feel based on tradition, guests tend to prefer this and it saves not only money but also prevents waste. Guests will be able to get some cupcakes when they leave and then they will put them in a container that’s takeout inspired.
“Destination” wedding guests will appreciate a thoughtful gift of vacation items awaiting them in their rooms. Include gifts that are sure to be useful while on location at the wedding, like sunglasses, tourist maps, disposable cameras, hats, and pamphlets that detail all of the best attractions in the local area. Another nice gesture is to include a restaurant guide, since people do need to eat after all.
Remember that the reason for a wedding is marriage, not an excuse to throw the perfect party. Your life with your loved one begins with your wedding, and it will go a lot better with a little planning.
