Create a Candy Buffet for Your Wedding Reception

Candy buffet tables create a whimsical centerpiece as well as a customizable favor for your wedding guests. Before you start to make a candy buffet, think about the theme of your wedding. The candy buffet should match the color scheme of the bridal party. Another option is to create a seasonal buffet using candies that correlate with the season the wedding is in. Also consider the number of guests you will have. Celebration Ideas Online suggests buying a 1/2 pound of candy per guest.

Wish a Happy Wedding Day
Whether you're attending or unable to attend the wedding, wishing the bride and groom happiness is an important gesture. The couple will appreciate thoughtful words from family and friends and feel more confident as they move forward into married life knowing they have your support. Writing a letter, card or sending a gift are simple ways to wish a happy wedding day; however, making it personalized and special is crucial.

Ask for Money on Wedding Invitations
If you’ve already begun to lay the groundwork for your wedding, you probably know this will be a stressful time for your finances. When it comes to wedding gifts, you may already live with your fiancĂ© and have no need for household items, or you may assume that simply asking for money as a gift will be the best way to offset wedding expenses. While both of these are reasonable justifications for asking your guests for cash, there are tactful (and not-so-tactful) ways to ask for it.

Calm Your Nerves Before a Wedding
Your wedding day is sure to be one of the most memorable days of your life. The joy and excitement that accompanies planning that special day is often coupled with fear and anxiety as well. Plans surrounding the dress, the ceremony and the reception are enough to fill any bride or groom with wedding day jitters. Luckily, when wedding day nerves are at their highest, usually the day of the wedding, a little break from tradition could be just what you need to calm those nervous anxieties and get your head back into the wedding day game.

Ward Off the Post-Wedding Blues
A wedding day can have so much buildup that many brides feel a great sense of loss and lack of purpose after the big event passes. This can be marked with depression, a lack of motivation or even resentment. Though true cases of depression should be treated by a professional, there are ways that newlywed women can nip these feelings of loss in the bud and start enjoying their new lives.
