After a couple decides to get married, they think about their wedding plans. This is a great time to invite everyone you know, but it takes some work. These tips will ensure your wedding goes smoothly.
It’s a nice gift to give the groom his own little cake. Have the cake designer make it resemble his favorite hobbies, like carpentry or football. If it’s a surprise it will be even more meaningful to him! Just make sure that the cake itself tastes good – a wedding cake that looks gorgeous but tastes bad will not leave a good memory.
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.
Go for your dreams at your wedding! If you’ve always wanted to be a famous singer, why not sing a song at your reception? Is your dream to be an actress? Put on your own pantomime! This is your wedding, and it’s a day where nothing you do will be construed as wrong! Go for it!
If you’ve been asked to photograph a wedding but are new to the job, your most important task it to create a shot list. Ask the couple what kind of photographs they would like you to take and then make a checklist to guide you through the wedding and ease your stress level.
To prepare for photographing a wedding, it is vital to figure out how to turn off the sound on your digital camera! This may require a fair amount of research online, or calling the company directly, so do it long before the wedding date to ensure you’ll be totally prepared when the day comes.
When planning a destination wedding you should find out how many people are willing to attend. You may think only a few can afford to get there, but it might turn out that most of your family has money put away for a vacation and they’d like to use your wedding as the venue!
Planning a wedding means setting a budget; being successful in your planning means sticking to your budget. It is easy to add a few dollars here and a few dollars there when choosing vendors, venues and assorted wedding needs. A few dollars adds up and can carry you far outside your expected budget. Stick to your budget and you will thank yourself after.
Start your wedding guest list off huge, and then cross people off as you think of excuses for not inviting them. Soon enough you should have a manageable list which you can afford to invite, and good reasons for not inviting the people you have removed from the list, reducing your guilt.
