If you are getting married in a little while, then there are a whole stack of tasks that you need to be checking off as your big day gets nearer. Even though nothing like a complete list, here are some of the checks that you may merely need to be thinking of.
Remember the date cards
It sounds daft, but will your guests remember the date of your wedding? You will simply remember it (or should do!), but what around the friends? They also need to make their own arrangements, but are they aware that you are going to be inviting them to your celebrations and even which part of the day you will be inviting them to?
These easy cards tell your friends that you will be inviting them and what time you are expecting them. You will still follow these up with the proper invite, but they are only a straightforward, friendly note that allows friends to then book their own travel and accommodation preparations. Remarkably helpful for those who need to book time off work or make extended travel preparations.
Book the family rooms!
If your wedding, or the evening part of the reception, is going to be at a hotel then your friends are potential to want to spend the night there if they are not local. As soon as they know the date they are possible to start booking rooms, so make sure that your venue has at the very least reserved rooms for key friends, and these guests know that their rooms are reserved and how to formally book and place a deposit. Ideally, you might like to have a quiet word with the hotel staff and reserve the best likely rooms for these vital guests, for example parents, bridesmaids and ushers.
Find a videographer!
Getting a video, or these days a DVD, of your wedding day is an essential reminder of the joys of the day. But there is a world of change in class and standard of the professional construction opposed to that of a well meaning guest who has had two or three drinks and does not in fact know what they are doing when it comes to editing the final footage.
Do a easy search engine search for local marriage video providers and ask them to show you some of their recent work. Ideally, ask if they have worked in the past at the service and reception venues and get them to show you some example videos shot at these locations. If they could show you that they are familiar with the venues, this means that they stand a far better chance of being able to set up the best and most imaginative shots of your big day.
Think of children
No, not having some of your own! If you are inviting children to your celebrations, and they might add loads of joy, then think of what they will be doing during the day. Just buying a few colouring books and pencils and leaving a set of these on every child's place will help to keep them ample quieter during the meal and the speeches!
