Weddings should be happy events for everyone involved. The following tips will help you make sure that your wedding is a wonderful event that you will remember fondly.
Religious practices will be a part of your wedding, and also an important part of your marriage. Talking to your partner about his or her religion is important, but talking to the in-laws about their religion is essential, as well.
You can not serve everyone’s favorite top-shelf drink or you would quickly exceed the price of the dress, so consider what you like, and what will keep you within your budget. Open bars can be expensive and can be more so if they’re open a long time. Ask your venue about the different alcohol serving options that they have available.
It is a good idea to hear the speeches of those who will be speaking at your wedding so you know that their comments will be appropriate. Remember that there may be older people at your wedding as well as young ones, and jokes must be appropriate for all members of your audience.
Only place a few flowers in the centerpieces at your reception tables. Flowers can be obstructive to guests a lot of the time. Furthermore, one or two of your guests could be allergic to certain flowers. One classy alternative to flowers is unscented candles.
When you are planning your wedding don’t forget that people are going to need to get from your venue back to their hotel. For people without a ride, be sure a taxi or limo can bring them to their destination after the reception. This is also a good idea for guests who have had too much to drink at the wedding.
Do not make guests stand around when you are taking photos. Have pictures of the couple and groomsmen in advance. Also, pictures of the couple with their parents can be taken in advance; this reduces the waiting time for guests coming to the reception.
With a familiarity with the basics of wedding planning, you’re now ready to strike out on your own and use this knowledge to build a custom wedding experience. These handpicked tips will take much of the stress and hassle out of designing a momentous and highly memorable wedding experience for the bride and groom.
