A very romantic moment for a couple may be an engagement. Planning a wedding, however, isn’t always so romantic. Sometimes it stresses one or both future spouses out and may even lead to relationship trouble. Here are a few suggestions for the couples who wish to make the planning of their wedding as enjoyable as their actual wedding.
You can save quite a bit of money by purchasing your wedding dress over the Internet, but make sure to factor in shipping and alteration time when planning when to order. While buying a dress online may be less expensive, alterations can quickly add to the cost. Make sure the additional costs are allowed for in the budget.
The most important thing to consider when you get married is obviously the person you marry. Never rush into this decision that will change your life. Give careful thought to that person, what you absolutely must have in your life, and what might irritate you.
If you are looking to dazzle your guests but cannot afford a hit to the wallet, consider renting diamond jewelry. This will give you the stunning look that you desire but will not cost you a lot of money, allowing you to stick to your budget.
If you cannot justify the cost of a thousand-dollar wedding cake, consider contacting a local bakery and inquiring about single-serving portions, like cupcakes or cake pops. There are boutiques that will bake fresh cupcakes with very few calories specifically for your event, and deliver them. These boutiques also often have healthy options available such as gluten-free, fruit based fillings instead of frosting, and healthier alternative toppings.
Think about your guests when planning flower arrangements for the reception. The majority of the time, these flowers are in the guests’ way. Make sure to keep in mind that some guests may have flower allergies. Think about putting non-scented candles out to create a romantic atmosphere.
This person should be able to tote around all of your things for you. They can also help you track down family members, and get them together for group photographs.
The lighting in your venue should be able to be dimmed. This may seem like a trivial detail, but this will allow a romantic, low-light setting for your first dance, while still retaining the bright lights you desire for the remainder of the evening. Ask the prospective venue about it, before choosing.
It is a good idea to plan for an even number of guests at each table, since people tend to pair off in conversations. Grouping your tables according to age is one way to seat people with others that they will have things in common with.
Make certain to send an online itinerary to your guests with the events, so they know how they should schedule their day and which part they are looking to attend. Give them clear direction, times to be there and what they need to bring, so that things go smoothly.
Any couple who uses these tips most likely will have a bonding experience as they plan their wedding together. Planning your wedding together will help you to develop team skills that will also come in handy once you are married. Follow these pieces of advice to not only create a wonderful wedding experience for yourselves, but also to lay the groundwork for a lifetime of cooperation and mutual support.
