The only things a wedding truly has to have is a bride, a groom, a minister and of course, love. Everything else is a bonus, and many items are not even necessary to have a great time. The following article will guide you to planning and preparing a very happy and memorable wedding day.
If you had a very important person in your life who passed away, go into your jewelry box and find a piece of jewelry that belonged to them and wear it on the wedding. This will keep them right near you on one of the most important days of your life.
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!
Make sure that after your wedding you send thank-you notes to all of your guests for not only coming to your wedding but for the gifts that they gave to you. This will make them feel special and show that you appreciated them using their time to share your special moment.
Your ceremony is a beautiful, soul-touching event, which will bond you to your partner for a lifetime. You will appreciate having some time directly after the wedding to spend with your new spouse, so schedule in a half an hour, in some secret location, to snuggle up and enjoy your moment.
When photographing a wedding you’ll need to wear sensible shoes! That means no high heels for women as you might find yourself standing on a chair or pew and the last thing you want to do is take a tumble and ruin the wedding! Flat shoes with a good tread will keep you stable.
Try to buy your best man or maid of honor a gift to show your appreciation for helping to make your wedding day a good one. This will make them feel honored for being part of your special day. Purchase the gift way before the wedding so you do not forget to do so with all the craziness of your big day.
You can have a sit down dinner if you desire, however, a buffet meal will be less expensive. The labor cost associated with a sit down dinner can be very pricey because of the staff needed to accommodate the service needs. By offering buffet style you can allow your guests a bit more freedom and save much needed dollars.
In conclusion, only very few things are necessary to have an ideal wedding. Everything else is optional, and merely adds to the overall event. It can all be very nice to see and participate in but will bring a lot of unnecessary stress that can strain the day. Follow the advice in this article, and your wedding planning will become easier and more manageable. It will make your wedding happier for everyone involved, including you.
