Planning her own wedding is one of the most stressful events any woman will ever go through. The hardest part is choosing the perfect dress. It is a mistake for a woman to go try on dresses without some idea of what she likes. Another huge blunder is inviting the entire bridal party, all the mothers, and even the groom.
When giving a wedding toast, keep it short simple and sweet. There will be many people who do not know who you are, and will be uninterested in what you have to say if you are giving a long winded speech. Also, if you are going to tell a funny story, do not pick one that will embarrass the bride or groom. Remember, it is their special day.
As we've learned from Kim Kardashian and her husband Kris, it's vitally important to figure out your living arrangements Before you get married. Will one or both of you have to sell your homes? Will you move into one of your current residences or find a new home together? Rent or buy?
Make sure you are organized before you meet with vendors for your wedding. Create a checklist and a budget, have your guest list handy and have any pictures of wedding-related ideas ready for your vendors to see. You may also want to create a special email address just for the wedding to give to the vendors.
Designer candles, jewel-encrusted candelabras, and crystal decor can add up quickly when multiple tables are used for the wedding reception or rehearsal dinner. To save money, purchase large, unscented pillar candles of varying sizes. You can then use adornments and embellishments from bulk craft supply stores, such as stick-on colored crystals or textured, sheer ribbons to tie around each of the pillars.
Make sure that you wear comfortable shoes on your wedding day. You will be standing throughout most of the ceremony and dancing for most of the reception, so you do not want to neglect your feet. This does not mean you have to get ugly shoes, just get comfortable, attractive ones.
Decide on group activities for your special day. Do not just have your friends and family stand around waiting for your nuptials to end. You can have all kinds of activities, from contests to volleyball. Your wedding will be a more memorable event, when everyone has fun and interacts with each other.
