Wedding planning is generally stressful for a couple. It can seem that everyone has an opinion about how your big day should go. You’re about to read some great advice that can help you stay sane when planning your wedding.
One thing you need to think about during the wedding planning process is what alcohol will be served, and how much you want to spend on it. Open bars can be expensive and can be more so if they’re open a long time. Ask the venue you’re thinking of having the wedding at about the different types of alcohol they serve, and what they have in stock.
Keep the wedding in line with how you are personally. Make sure it reflects your spouse as well. Pick out a theme that reflects your time together.
Spice up your wedding reception by choosing an ethnic inspired menu. Steak and chicken can get boring after a while. Variety is important and you want everyone to remember your wedding dinner.
You can rent jewelery and diamonds if you wish to look at your best but cannot afford to. This gives you that dazzling look you are seeking for a fraction of the cost, which allows you to stay well within your budget.
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. For example, you might not like heavy metal or rap, or there may be one particular song that turns you off. Whatever it is, let him know so you don’t end up cringing at your own wedding!
Instead of going bankrupt for a wedding cake, try getting multiple tiers of mini-tarts or cupcakes. These treats are not only affordable and convenient, but you can do many things with them. Instead of eating cake off a paper napkin, you can give your guests the option to nab a sweet treat on the way out. A decorative container, such as a takeout box, is far more convenient.
Making Table
When making table assignments for your reception, ensure that even numbers of guests will be at each table. Facilitate conversation by making table arrangements according to age groups.
Post a schedule of events on your wedding website or send an itinerary with your wedding invitations. This helps out-of-town guests make appropriate travel plans, especially guests who are going to participate in your wedding rehearsal or other events. Inform people of events, like rehearsals, that they are required to attend, so they will be where they are supposed to be at the scheduled time.
An ordained relative or friend can step in to officiate your wedding. This ordination can take place quickly and easily online. Not only will this save you money by not needing to hire an officiant, it will add a nice personal touch to the ceremony. You should check the legality of this option in your area before you make a decision.
Do not allow your guests to get bored or restless between the courses of your meal. Try sugar roses which subtly match your decor, or thin crackers that whet the appetite.
Ask someone to borrow an item to wear on your big day. A nice bracelet or necklace will both complete your look, as well as give you “something borrowed” for the day.
Congratulations on having made it to this point. If you don’t fear the planning process at this point, you are probably prepared for a new challenge. Make your wedding your own. Use these tips to make your wedding memorable.
