According to etiquette rules, directly asking for any type of gift for a shower is inappropriate. Registries do make things easier for couples because their loved ones can casually mention where the couple is registered. However, many couples prefer money to other types of gifts. Thankfully, sharing this preference with guests is one of the easiest parts of wedding or shower planning.
Decorate for a Garden Wedding
Exchanging vows in a peaceful garden, surrounded by natural beauty is what many couples dream of. Decorating for a garden wedding can be a pleasant undertaking, with plenty of room for creativity. While much of the decoration has already been done for you by nature, with a few finishing touches to complement the setting, a little mood lighting for evening and some well-placed floral accents, your garden wedding will be an event to remember.
Get Ordained to Perform Weddings
Some couples prefer to have a close friend or family friend administer their wedding vows. You may also want to get ordained so you can perform weddings as a side or primary business. There is no need to undergo extensive or high-cost religious training to get your ordination papers. A few phone calls and an Internet connection will help you achieve your goal.
Preserve Your Wedding Dress
If you take as much care in preserving your dress as you did in choosing it, it can be enjoyed as a family heirloom for generations to come. Does this Spark an idea?
Estimate Wedding Attendance
Knowing the number of guests that will attend your wedding is important to control and anticipate costs. Unfortunately, guests are not always so cognizant that their lack of attendance or unexpected arrival can greatly affect your pocket. There is no way to know exactly how many of your invitees will attend the wedding, but estimating attendance for the big day provides an accurate measurement of how many people you will need to accommodate.
