Are you planning your special wedding day? Do you want to take some of the stress and anxiety out of the process? Who doesn’t! In this article we will discuss some of the best tips and tricks from the pros. Read on and learn how to make your day everything you want it to be.
Have your wedding at a friend’s home. For example, a large backyard could be the perfect setting, and you will save a lot of money this way. Pay someone to clean for them before and after your wedding.
If you are having an outdoor wedding, check your wind speeds for that day. A windy day can ruin an outdoor wedding if not planned for. If it is going to be windy, avoid hairstyles that will be greatly affected by wind. You should also keep in mind that some tents are not designed to handle very windy conditions.
If you’re already living with your spouse-to-be and don’t really need housewares for wedding gifts, ask for cash instead. If you include a cute little poem asking people to consider giving you a cash gift instead of something you can’t use, you’ll be saving them the time it takes to shop and helping pay for your honeymoon!
When you are planning your rehearsal dinner, make sure that it is very intimate, as you will only want to invite members of your family and close friends. This will make things very personal so that you can make toasts that appeal to the people who made a huge impact in your life.
The best photographs are candid, so try to have as many unposed photographs taken as possible. My favorite wedding shots are from my reception where guests, and myself and the groom, are laughing and having a great time. These are the memories you want to have for the rest of your married life!
Instead of spending a fortune on a wedding cake, get a bunch of mini-tarts or cupcakes. These kinds of arrangements are versatile, affordable and convenient. Guests are able to take a cupcake when they leave, if you put them in a fancy take-out container.
Check with the post office for their size and weight limitations for letter mail before placing your wedding invitation order. If you can scale back the size and weight of your invitations so that they are considered a standard size, you can save hundreds of dollars in excess postage needed to send something big and bulky.
If you find yourself getting stressed in the process of planning your impending nuptials, consider taking some time away from the process for a bit of rest and relaxation. A day at the beach for the bride and groom or a day spent doing something you enjoy can help replenish you.
Stress and anxiety are a regular part of wedding planning, right? Wrong! As we have discussed in this article, the planning process for your special day doesn’t have to feel miserable. You can make the planning process easier, and your special day more memorable, if you just follow our simple tips.
