1. Your Vows

Most types of wedding ceremonies and wedding officers will allow you to write your own vows. This is the ideal way to express your love and true feelings for one another as well as becoming a contract that can be used to the define how you will love, respect and treat your spouse for the years to come. Your wedding vows should therefore not focus so much on the past and how you fell in love but rather on the future as a foundation that your marriage can build on.

2. Don’t Blow The Budget

Every little girl fantasizes about her dream wedding and every groom wants to fulfill her every wish, often not considering what the actual cost will be until the wedding planning begins. It is ideal to set a budget before ever discussing those dream wedding ideas and tailor the wedding to your budget rather than the other way around.

Once again, it is important to consider the future. Money spent on the wedding may be better directed at starting your life together like as a deposit for a home or covering other costs. Even if mom or dad are footing the bill, you may want to ask them to rather invest in your future together and not just your wedding day.

3. Hire Not Purchase

It is preferable to hire as much as possible for the wedding day rather than purchase as this is a much more affordable option. Catering, Clean up, the music DJ, even the wedding dress should be hired. It is unlikely that you will ever wear the dress again and while it is a nice sentiment to want to pass it down to a future generation, styles and trends change and your daughter probably won’t want to wear your dress as she starts to dream up her own ideal wedding day.

4. Couples Counseling

Before committing to marrying a couple, most religious or spiritual officers will provide couples counseling. This is to prepare them for the stress and strain that planning a wedding can place on them as well as to help them plan for the wedding day. Some programs are also designed to help the couple determine whether they are ready for marriage, if they are suited to one another and resolve any issues that could negatively impact their lifelong commitment to each other. It is highly recommended to go for couples counseling regardless whether it is offered or not.

In a society where it is becoming just as easy to dissolve a marriage as it is to get married, they importance of the long term is often overlooked in favor of having the ideal wedding day.

Tips For A Perfect Wedding Ceremony And Reception

Whether you are planning your own nuptials or helping a dear friend or family member with theirs, you want to be sure that everything is perfect for the big event. With so many different things to tend to, it can definitely be a challenge! However, there are some things that you can do to prepare and help ensure everything runs smoothly on the day of the wedding.

The earlier you begin planning, the more choices you will have. This goes from finding the perfect venue to picking your wedding florist. You will have limited options if you don’t secure these services in advance. Many of the best are booked months, or even years, ahead of the actual date.

First, you will need to decide on the size of your wedding. Do you want to have an intimate gathering with close family and friends or do you want to have a lavish affair with everyone you know? For most folks, the answer is somewhere in between. While the numbers might change a bit over time, you need to have a good idea so that you can pick a venue with adequate space for everyone.

Select the Wedding / Reception Venue

Some venues have space for the ceremony and the reception. You might be able to save some cash by booking both for the day. If the venue has a full kitchen, ask about their catering services as well. You can also inquire about caterers, florists and other wedding service providers that you will need.

Keep in mind that most of these people have worked together before. Ideally all of these providers will have a positive working relationship. Once you have chosen the first one, ask their opinions for the others you need. You will likely also hear about vendors that don’t work well with others, show up late, or are otherwise problematic. Don’t risk their squabble spilling over into the wedding. Stick with a group that speaks well of each other if possible.

Whether or not to serve alcohol is often an awkward topic regarding wedding planning. Though the couple might want to drink some champagne to celebrate the event, the whole crowd should be considered before adding booze to the list. If a lot of children will be at the bash, you might want to skip it.

Likewise, if there are known alcoholics to be attending that can become boisterous when intoxicated, you should minimize general access to alcohol.

 

 

You want for everything to go smoothly on your big day. Planning ahead is essential to pulling that off. If you can’t start early, then start now and make the best choices possible based on availability and preferences. Remember these suggestions as you go through choosing a venue and vendors for this special event.

Don’t let anything get in the way of enjoying the day! If something does go awry, let it roll off of you as you continue to celebrate the union. The important thing is that you are joining your lives together, not whether the singer was off-key for one of the tunes!
