Getting Hitched? Try Using This Advice To Jump Over That Broom!
If getting married sounds like a great idea but planning the wedding gives you a chilly feeling, don't worry. You can make sure your wedding goes well even if you have no idea where to begin planning. These easy, simple tips will set your feet on the right path to having an amazingly pleasant wedding experience no matter what details you want to include.
After everyone has finished their meals, you can serve a dessert tray at the wedding. This is usually the tradition as you can present a wonderful array of pastries, chocolates and candy for kids to end the night with a bang. This is a great way to send people off.
When planning your wedding, keep in mind the weather. You want your guests to be comfortable in your wedding, and it would be bad to having them overly hot or cold. If your wedding is when it is hot outside, consider giving out hand fans and cold bottles of water. If you are planning your wedding in colder weather, let your guests know that they should dress appropriately.
Get your nails done when you get your hair done for your wedding to give you the overall pampering that you deserve on your big day. It isn't very expensive, but the foot bath and hand massage will help calm your nerves and leave you looking beautiful and feeling great!
If you're having trouble coming up with a gift for your wedding guests, think of something useful. My parents had matchbooks printed with their wedding date, which was great when they got married as no one knew smoking was bad yet. Today I might have a candle with a tag engraved the wedding date instead as it's far more healthy for them to burn that!
Even if your budget is small, having two photographers at your wedding can catch shots that might be missed otherwise. Consider asking family members to take on the roll as an additional photographer, or even have both photographers be someone you know personally. Free is the best way to go, and they might even give you the end product as a wedding gift.
Ask local boutiques about having small, individual portions of cake for the guests as your wedding. Many bakeries offer small tarts or mini-cakes that come in healthier options, like fresh fruit-filled, gluten-free or vegan options.
When picking a DJ for your wedding, make sure you choose someone with a great reputation. A bad DJ can ruin your reception, so ask any candidates for their references along with their fees. If a candidate has no references, mark him off the list immediately! If his references are all family, that's another reason to give him the boot.
Regardless of what guests you're inviting, where you want to have the ceremony, how you want to decorate and what music you want to play, you can make sure your wedding is exactly the way you imagine it. Even if you've never planned anything successfully in your life, you can make sure your wedding is the exception to the rule, and you can do that by following the above tips.
