Cover Up a Tattoo for a Wedding

Just like marriages, tattoos are designed to last forever. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that your favorite piece of permanent skin art is a welcome guest at the wedding. Whether it's because you want to keep your tattoo a secret, want to keep it out of the wedding photos or just don't think it matches the formality of the event, you may find yourself in need of some special, heavy-duty makeup techniques in order to cover your tattoo for the big day. Does this Spark an idea?

Arrange A Beach Wedding
Beach weddings are always memorable to brides, grooms and guests. A seaside wedding is fun, beautiful and romantic whether you speak your vows beside the Atlantic as sunset paints the waves orange, or bedecked in maile leaf leis on a black sand beach in Hawaii.

Decorate Walls for a Wedding Reception
Weddings are expensive and many couples are looking for ways to cut the overwhelming costs. One way to achieve this goal is to play a primary role in decorating your reception venue. Decorating your own reception venue's walls can easily save you thousands of dollars that you would otherwise pay for a wedding planner's service. Use a variety of materials, including curtains, decals, balloons and pictures, to decorate the reception walls in a creative and affordable fashion.

Delegate Duties for a Wedding
The exact duties that a bride and groom need help with depend on how elaborate the wedding is, as well as what their personalities are. A very organized bride may prefer to handle most of the planning tasks herself, while a bride who isn't detail-oriented may ask her bridal party to take on more responsibilities. To avoid confusion about what you expect from your bridal party and family members, the wedding Website The Knot suggests sending out a newsletter or email that breaks down the responsibilities for each person. Be sure to stress how much you appreciate everyone's help, so no one feels like she's being ordered around.

Ask for Cash for Wedding Gifts
Asking for cash as a wedding gift can be touchy, particularly when it comes to etiquette-conscious or older guests, who may not feel comfortable giving anything other than a traditional wedding gift. However, careful wording, wedding-themed gift cards and strictly cash registries can help most wedding guests feel comfortable giving cash as a gift.
