All a wedding really requires is a bride, the groom, a minister, and love. Everything else is merely additional pleasures and distractions, so it's a good idea to understand why you are including the things you do. The following article will guide you to planning and preparing a very happy and memorable wedding day.
Make sure every part of the wedding follows a plan, from what food is served to what happens at the reception. You want to engage and excite all those who have chosen to be part of your special day.
Provide your guests with an online itinerary of events so that everyone, including out-of-town attendees, know what they should be scheduling and planning to attend. Make sure that you tell people if they need to attend events, like the rehearsal, so that everyone shows up promptly at the correct location.
It's important to have a backup plan if you want your wedding ceremony or reception to be held outdoors. Rent some tents, or choose a venue with indoor shelter in addition to its outdoor setting. Another thing you can do is install planks, so guests don't get their shoes muddy.
During your wedding planning, arrange for even numbers of guests at each table. Use age and relationship models to help group your tables, as this will help people locate good company.
Order small individual portions of cake from a local bakery if the thought of spending the equivalent of your honeymoon on your cake does not appeal to you. Some specialty bakeries also ship fresh, low-cal cupcakes and healthy fare, like gluten-free options if you so desire.
Any female participants in your wedding, such as the bridesmaids, should aim to be ready before you are. The last few minutes prior to the ceremony should be all about you. Make sure your wedding party is ready so they can focus on getting you ready!
Make sure your venue has enough space for dancing. You want room for people to move freely as they dance. Move furniture if necessary to make room for exuberant dancing.
If you want to have a good wedding speech, see to it that you practice and plan for it sufficiently. If you don't plan and practice your wedding speech enough, you risk all sorts of bad outcomes, from losing your audience to totally bombing the speech with stuttering and confused expressions.
If there will be toasts or speeches given at your wedding reception, ask the speakers to practice in front of you to ensure that the material is appropriate for those attending your wedding. Certain jokes or comments might not sit well with certain age groups.
Remember that the reason for a wedding is marriage, not an excuse to throw the perfect party. Your wedding celebrates the beginning of the rest of your lives together, so you should plan ahead to make sure that your wedding goes smoothly.
