Watching massively popular weddings on TV like William and Kate and the Kardashians can make your planned ceremony seem a little too normal. Nobody wants a plain wedding. This day is supposed to be magnificent…and under budget. Use the tips below to plan a great wedding that you’ll be very proud of.
If you are getting married, and you do not know how to dance, you may want to consider taking dance lessons. All eyes are going to be on you during the reception, especially during the first dance, and you want to make sure that you leave a good impression on your guests.
I was at a wedding last year which seemed more like a circus. Not only did they have the typical events like bouquet tossing and garter removal, but they insisted on playing games throughout the night. Many guests won’t be expecting to have to compete at your reception, nor will they welcome the opportunity. Try to keep entertainment such as this to a minimum.
Plan early if you’d like to have a destination wedding. You need to book far in advance to ensure that all the locations you’ll need to rent, from hotel rooms to ceremony to reception, will be available during the time you wish to use them. You should also check into renting vehicles ahead of time, just in case.
To ensure you have photos of everyone in attendance at your wedding, have a photo booth set up right next to your guest book. Photo booth rentals are readily available and can be set up in a variety of ways, usually with the help of the booth operator, who will assist your guests and guide them into making some memorable pictures for your photo guest book. When the photo has been developed, the attendant can put the picture into an album and have the guest sign it with their congratulatory wishes. You can also choose to have two sets of photos printed so you can give your guests one as a little remembrance of your special event.
Be sure you place an an even numer of guests at each table at your reception. Tables should also be grouped based on their age. This will help increase the chances that guests will be able to talk and chat together.
In order to prevent excessive stress during the months before the wedding, ensure you have allowed plenty of time to plan the wedding. It takes a lot of time to interview and select florists, photographers, and caterers, etc. In general, the larger the wedding, the more time you will need to make sure everything turns out perfectly on your wedding day.
Your wedding doesn’t need to make the tabloids or be featured on a dozen different television networks. It only has to stand out as majestic for you and your loved ones. If you can follow the easy and practical wedding tips above, you can make sure that your special day is everything it can be and more.
