Sometimes choosing what to wear to a wedding is as difficult for the guests as it is for the bride. Knowing what's appropriate is not always easy. If the wedding you've been invited to is a formal affair, though, then that's your cue to go all out and doll yourself up. Here are some tips to keep in mind as you choose your attire for a formal wedding. Does this Spark an idea?
Word Response Cards for a Wedding Reception & Hotel Stay
It is common wedding etiquette to include response and informational cards with your wedding invitation. The response card contains spaces for each guest to fill in to let the reception host know who will be attending and the meal selections if the event involves a sit-down dinner. Informational cards provide relevant information to guest such as local hotel accommodations for guests who will be traveling in from out of town. Place hotel information on a separate card from the response card.
Order Wedding Flowers
Flowers comprise a major portion of the decorations and accents for most weddings. They also account for a large portion of the wedding budget. Ordering your wedding flowers involves more than simply picking out your favorite type of flower. Take time before you consult with your florist to determine what you want. Preparing before you order the flowers ensures you will get everything you need while staying within your budget.
List Songs on a Wedding Program
Wedding programs are meant to communicate the thought and planning you have put into your ceremony to your guests, to help them know what to expect during the ceremony, and to share important information with them (such as where the cake is after the ceremony). The music in your ceremony sets the mood for your wedding, and listing it in your program can help you to remember in the future what you played at your wedding, and help others identify the music played during your ceremony.
Plan a Wedding reception for Under $500
Getting married can be the most important day of your life, but you don't have to spend thousands to have the perfect wedding reception. In a poor economy it can be hard to justify spending thousands on your reception and a formal affair can just add to the stress of the big day. instead, opt for a more casual and significantly less expensive option, a wedding reception for $500 or less.
