Without the proper wedding information, this wonderful and dreamy day, can turn into a very real nightmare. This article will make sure that your wedding will not turn into a nightmare, by making sure you have the proper information to apply to your wedding preparations, as well as, the processes involved.
If you are planning a wedding reception on a budget, consider asking the local culinary school for help. Culinary schools will often provide a meal for your reception for just the cost of food. This gives their students valuable training, and provides you with a catered meal at a significantly reduced cost.
Wait before making major wedding decisions. When you go to see a venue that you are sure you love, don't put down a deposit right away. Go home, look at a couple of other places, and make a decision then. Making impulse decisions can cost you more money and a lifetime of regret so make sure you think as much as you are able to.
It can be a great idea to provide your guests with direction cards from the reception site back to major highways. You can have these at the reception, so that anyone who needs them can easily pick them up. Not everyone has a GPS in their car, or can use mapping software. Having direction cards can help to make everyone's evening end well.
Don't bend to pressure from relatives. You may be tempted to go with family tradition or suggestions, but this is your day not theirs. Thank them for their concern and affection but firmly remind them that you and your spouse ultimately make the decisions. That way you can look back on your wedding day with no regrets.
Outside weddings are very popular, yet make sure you take into account the weather in your area, the time of year you are having the wedding and have a back up plan in case of sudden rainstorms or other bad weather. Reserving parks is a great plan for an outdoor wedding, but most cities will not let you close the park off to other visitors.
Starting to plan your wedding? Use resources like StumbleUpon to select your interests (weddings, of course) and look through blogs, websites, and idea boards such as Pintrest during your free time. You will find many great DIY ideas as well as some ideas you may not have thought of otherwise.
Whether your are the bride, groom or parent of the bride or groom, make sure you speak to everyone who attends the wedding reception. Stop by every table and make sure to greet everyone. This will help make everyone feel welcome and let them know you are glad they came.
Always do a practice run, if you are hiring someone to do your makeup for the wedding. If you are doing your own make up, stick to what you know looks good. Do not neglect your hands and fingernails. Be sure to cover them up with fake nails if you have horrible looking nails. They can be purchased from a drug store or done professionally.
Don't go overboard. Take a step back and remember what the wedding is all about. Too much activity and too many expenses can leave you stressed and broke, so try to restrain yourself. Plan realistically and within your budget. This way, you'll be able to keep yourself calm and your pocketbook full.
Making use of tips like these can help turn any wedding into an experience to remember. Not every marriage will last forever, but the memories from a wedding are permanent. By taking heed of helpful advice, a good wedding planner can ensure that those memories are as pleasant and unique as possible.
