Too many people put to much importance on the wedding day and don’t give much thought to the many days after or the rest of their lives together. This article can help you to keep things in perspective and to remember that the wedding is just the first of many days of a lifetime together.
If you or your future husband have a great voice, one of the things that you can do is to sing a song at your wedding. This should be a slow song that you dedicate either to your future soul mate or someone that is looking down upon you at your wedding.
Make sure you know exactly how many people will be attending your wedding. You need to know how many seats are needed and how much food needs to be provided. When you sent out your wedding invitations, make sure to tell people to contact you and let you know if they are coming or not.
If a wedding cake with a high price tag or high calorie count doesn’t appeal to you, check around at local bakeries for beautiful individual portions. Some bakeries are able to make healthier cupcakes that contain less than 100 calories in each serving providing you with healthier options such as fruit- fillings in replacement to frosting, calorie-free sweeteners and gluten-free ingredients.
Your guests are likely to be hungry and tired after the ceremony, so why not provide them with snacks as they make their way to the reception? Have someone stand at the door with hors d’oeuvres on a tray and small glasses of something refreshing to drink. Your guests will greatly appreciate it!
Make sure that you wear comfortable shoes on your wedding day. You will be standing throughout most of the ceremony and dancing for most of the reception, so you do not want to neglect your feet. This does not mean you have to get ugly shoes, just get comfortable, attractive ones.
To save money, use seasonal flowers instead of exotic or out of season flowers for your wedding decorations. Flowers that are in season are a lot cheaper to buy. While exotic flowers may look nice, they can be more than double the price as they need to be imported from abroad.
Your venue should not only support your guest count but more importantly it should make you want to get married there. If you have a dream or hope for the look of your wedding, make sure that your venue fills that need. By doing the appropriate research and investing a bit of time, you will create an environment that is the foundation of your wedding.
Instead of having rice thrown at your wedding, you may want to consider getting confetti instead. Rice is messy and can get caught in undesirable places on your body. Also, rice is more expensive and more difficult to clean up. You can buy confetti at any discount or party store.
If you want a high-end wedding but can’t afford it, you can save some money by reducing your guest list. Catering costs, venue size, and other considerations can be reduced to a more manageable bill allowing you to go all out on your dress, cake, and flowers with the money you’ve saved.
As put forth in the beginning of the article, the importance of the wedding day is that it is the first day of the rest of your lives together. Don’t get too wrapped up in just that one day. By following the advice in this article, you can keep things in perspective for your wedding and your happily ever after.
