subject: Wedding Questions? Find The Answers You Need! [print this page]


Many brides wish they could go back in time and give themselves some advice about planning their weddings. If you are in the throes of wedding planning, this helpful article will share some useful tips to keep you from making the same mistakes others have. Read on to learn some great pointers for wedding planning.

Instead of going with the original bridal shower, why not share with your significant other and go with a couple's shower? Think of it as a party you can both plan and enjoy. You can create a theme and have it be more of a dinner or cocktail party. Also, make it coed.

On the day of the wedding, make sure that you show your parents and the parents of your future husband or wife a lot of attention. This is their big day too, as they are finally getting to see the child they love so much get married after many years of waiting.

When ordering wedding invitations, make sure that you always order a few more then you are expecting to mail out. When you will be writing the invitations you might realize that you should have had someone on the list but did not. Since it costs quite a bit to have them printed, it is good to just have them handy.

You should avoid smoking or drinking beer from the bottle while at your own wedding reception. It's just gauche and tacky to be seen doing something so pedestrian, so try to live up to the classy theme of your wedding. After the reception you can go home, light up a stogie and get wasted, if you so desire.

Try incorporating tributes into your wedding. You can try something like carrying a bouquet of flowers that a loved one or a dear friend of yours carried on their wedding day. It makes the day a little more personal and loving to the person whom the tribute is directed towards.

Start early with your wedding preparations. If you are able to begin planning well before your chosen date, you will have a much larger selection of wedding venues and related services to choose from. That means you can choose the vendors that meet both your budget and your needs.

If it possible for you to afford it, consider having your wedding on a cruise and invite only your closest family and friends. This way, you can begin your honeymoon right after your ceremony is finished. Some cruise companies even have special rates for those getting married and honeymooning on their ships.

With the above new knowledge to help you, you can plan a great wedding -- especially if you enlist the help of other people who can add their own knowledge to yours. Then, someday, when someone else you know and love is planning their wedding, you can offer up your own knowledge to help ease the process for them, including the great tips you just learned.
