A wedding is a very exciting time! However, it may also be a bit demanding to make various appointments around other people’s schedule. Then sometimes, too many choices may make it difficult to make a decision. Just remember to breathe! Use these tips to make your wedding day easier:
When thinking about wedding jewelry, consider borrowing your jewelry instead of buying it. Your friends and family may have great jewelry pieces that they will be willing to let you use free of charge. If you use someones jewelry instead of buying new, the jewelry will also hold sentimental value.
Of course, the most important aspect of getting married is choosing the right intended! Don’t make this choice in a hurry. You should consider the things you enjoy in your companion, as well as the things that irritate you.
Understand that the wedding ceremony is the most important part of the day and that the reception is just the celebration of this ceremony. Put a lot of thought into the readings that will be done at your wedding and where you would like to have your reception. This will optimize your overall experience.
When picking a DJ for your wedding, make sure you choose someone with a great reputation. A bad DJ can ruin your reception, so ask any candidates for their references along with their fees. If a candidate has no references, mark him off the list immediately! If his references are all family, that’s another reason to give him the boot.
For brides-to-be, do not settle for the first wedding dress you find. You want to make sure that you explore your options and end up with the dress of your dreams. If your dress is just going to end up sitting in the closet, you may even want to consider renting a dress for the day.
Fun wedding favors are a great way to keep kids entertained at your reception. You can go to the dollar store and pick up a basket full of goodies to set at the tables which can keep the kids busy while their parents have a great time at the party.
For brides-to-be, make sure to ask the store where you are getting your dress how long it will take to alter it. You may even want to ask them to sign a contract stating that your dress will be ready in time. Many women have been stuck having to wear an emergency dress because their dress was not altered in time for their wedding.
For brides-to-be, pack a beauty emergency kit and give it to your maid of honor to hold on to. This way, should your makeup smear or your hair fall out of place, you are prepared. In this kit, include your makeup, a brush, hairspray, and extra hairpins, should you lose one.
If you plan to serve your guests a meal with multiple courses, keep them entertained during the serving process by placing small dishes of appetizing sweets on each table. You can also offer crackers, but sweets that match the wedding colors are a great choice.
If you are having an outdoor wedding, make sure you have a backup plan in case of bad weather. Ideally, you should also have a nearby indoor location that can be accessed at a moment’s notice. Another option you have is to rent a party tent that is big enough to cover your entire wedding party and all of your guests comfortably. Don’t get caught out in the rain.
By not being too nervous, using a clear head and working hard, you can make sure your wedding is as rewarding as possible. Not only are you entering a new chapter into your life story, you’re going to be sharing this with the person you’re decided to share that story with. Congratulations! Enjoy you day!
