Waste not want not. The end of your Wedding celebration is a great time to give back. The food leftover from the reception donate it to a local shelter or food bank. Some places have specific contracts which disallow this, read your contract before you sign it.

Life of the Party.
DJ'S can provide you with endless memories but with one exception. The biggest party killers in the room can be the bride and groom. Remember you are the center of attention whatever attitude you bring will be reflected in how your guest's respond. If you and the groom stumble about have a when does it end attitude, no DJ in the world can correct that.Plan on being finished with all your tasks at least a week before you are married. When you arrive at your reception fresh and energized, it's on. People will respond to the energy you bring to the room. One additional plus is that women can put on a good face even when things are far from it. Men tend to reflect how they feel in their facial expressions. Show me a rundown bride and groom and I'll show you a fake smiling bride and a stone faced groom. A well rested couple will have sparkling photos. A wedding album is a very expensive item to put under the coffee table, instead of it's proper place on top.

Number One, after the dinner the kneeling down, and the I will. You have to decide how are you going to execute the marriage. Whether simple or complex it's going to need a budget. Not a pie in the sky budget but a realistic value that reflects what you are willing to dedicate to the event money wise. Marriages are ruined by not understanding that the day after the wedding the real challenge begins. Money or lack of it is the number one cause of divorce in this country.

Start to investigate where you want your event to be held. Destination Weddings are all the rage but how many of your guests have the resources to make the trip.

Contact your church and inquire about available dates and costs. Yes it costs to have a Wedding in a church these days. They will explain the costs to you. See if they have an available banquet facility. These usually are much more economic than the hotel ball room.

Put all the information that you find in a notebook and have regular meetings with the groom to keep him and who ever is paying for your wedding updated.

Once you have an idea based on a workable budget of what you want to do start working from the back forward. Back forward you say what in the world. I'm assuming that you do not have a wedding planner. When I say Wedding Planner I mean a professional planner. Brides often term helpful friends and relatives my wedding planner. Sorry you may be putting failure in first place in this short race. Nine out of Ten times I have seen the whole thing go belly up all because of a lack of knowledge. If you work backward you will cover all the bases not just the ones you like. The player coach bride often skips over the parts that don't include her looking good walking down the aisle. Who is responsible for the gifts after the reception. Did the reception hall have a must be cleaned clause in the contract? I have seen, witnessed a bride and groom both cleaning up and folding chairs,tables,after the reception.Everyone else had departed. Cover all your bases.

 

Keep a running tab or your expenses.
The internet can be a valuable resource for finding bargains in your community and beyond.
You will hate your own special day if you try to do everything yourself without having the time to do it properly.
Include your Groom he is not going to love everything you want to do. Work it out
Yes you can mix real and fake flowers if you match them up.
Pick several wedding dresses you like,if you have to juggle budget this might be an area that gives you lee way.

Read those contracts you have signed what someone says and does are two different things.


Shop for photographers based on portfolio, referrals,and price. Price shoppers often get burned look at those other categories I mentioned.
