Wedding Planning Basics – What Do You Need To Know?

Wedding are special! Two becoming as one is very special! No doubt, it will be a day to remember! Enjoy it! Weddings are just as unique as the people are that make up the marriage. It may range from large to small, expensive or inexpensive, formal or casual. However, decisions have to be made. Following are some tips and tricks others have found valuable to make those decisions easier:

When planning for your wedding, the time of day could greatly affect your cost. If you are having an evening wedding, you will have to serve dinner which costs more than serving your guests lunch. If you serve alcohol, more people will drink heavily in the evening than they would at lunch time.

Be sure to have many drink options available at your wedding. Not everyone enjoys the same things and will be happier with a large selection to choose what type of drink they would like. When there is alcohol being consumed, be sure to keep hydrating drinks available, such as lemonade and tea.

When planning the theme for your wedding, take into consideration the types of people who are going to be attending. Everything should be appropriate as you should understand that there are probably going to be elders at your wedding. Catering to everyone’s interests is the best way to get great results.

If you are looking to get married you should decide very quickly what your budget will be. Many couples fall into the trap of endless planning and then adding up their expenses and find they are quite shocked. By setting a budget ahead of time you prevent yourself from overspending.

Do not let family and friends tell you how your wedding should or shouldn’t be. Many times, people who are getting married let their family influence their decisions and they end up unhappy with the way their big day turned out. If you require help with your wedding, hire a wedding planner.

When you arrive to your reception, make sure to make the rounds to all the tables to greet your guests. By the end of the night you should have spoken with each guest at least twice, so take that into consideration as you plan your events for the evening. Don’t forget to say goodbye as each guests leaves if you can.

If you’ve asked a family member or friend to photograph your wedding, make sure that person really wants to do it. Don’t pressure anyone because he or she may end up so stressed out that the photographs they take don’t turn out as expected. If the photo are ruined in any way, don’t take it out on the person you asked! They did the best they could.

Hopefully, the above tips and tricks have helped you with some decisions to be made regarding your wedding! No doubt, getting married is a special occasion! A day you will not forget! It may be large or small, expensive or inexpensive, formal or casual – regardless it will be special, because it is your day! Congratulations!
