Wedding planning is generally stressful for a couple. Many decisions must be made, and there are going to be many opinions offered, which can sometimes make things rather difficult. The article ahead will offer some great tips that can help you maintain your sanity as you proceed.
For food, consider going to a store such as Costco. When shopping wholesale, you can get large amounts of food for cheaper than you could if you did not wholesale shop. Think about asking friends to help you out with food costs.
One thing you need to think about during the wedding planning process is what alcohol will be served, and how much you want to spend on it. The open bar option is the most costly of choices and the cost can be prohibitive for many couples but do not feel bad if you cannot afford it. Ask about which alcohol serving options are available through your venue.
Never go on starvation diets just to fit into a dress. Starving yourself or resorting to unhealthy weight loss tactics causes you to feel dizzy, weak, and light-headed. The last thing you want is to faint during the ceremony! Instead, choose a dress that has a corset back that can be taken in and out as needed on the big day.
Don’t forget about the transportation on your wedding day. If anyone needs a ride to or from their hotel for the event, you should arrange limos or taxis. This is especially good thinking because many guests at your wedding are likely to be drinking.
Flowers look beautiful as centerpieces on the dinner tables, but don’t overdo it. A lot of times, the flowers may be getting in the guests’ way. You also might want to take into consideration that some guests may be allergic to the pollen in the flowers. Instead, you could place candles (non-scented) on the table tops to add a romantic feel to the reception.
While you should always let your DJ know what songs you want played for your reception, it is just as important to alert him to any songs you do not like or want played. Maybe you like metal, country, or have a great song that reminds you of someone from the past. Regardless of the reason, let your DJ know to prevent you cringing at your reception.
Cheers to you for your fortitude thus far. If you have not been scared away by the thought of planning your wedding, then the challenge is something you are ready for. Remember that it’s your own wedding. Use the advice here so that you can plan the most perfect wedding.
