Planning a wedding can be one of the most stressful periods of your life. If you don't hire a professional wedding planner, all of the details need to be handled by the bride, groom, or their families. There are two main options for a wedding bar. The first is a cash bar, where attendees pay for their own drinks. The second is an open bar, where drinks are provided at the cost of the hosts.
Address Wedding Invitations to Parents
Addressing wedding invitations can be a challenging task, but there is a proper protocol to follow. The Emily Post Institute, as well as several other etiquette sites and gurus, offer address templates to fit just about any wedding guest combination. You simply personalize the templates. Have extra envelopes on hand in case you misspell a name or make a mistake with your script, if addressing the invitations yourself.
Plan a Surprise Wedding
A surprise wedding can be for either a group of friends and family, or for the bride or groom. There are a few considerations you must take when planning a surprise wedding. While most surprise weddings are enjoyable, some family members might be hurt if they're not included in the planning of your wedding.
Prepare Yourself for a Wedding Ceremony
Weddings are typically very intimate ceremonies with only the closest of friends and families invited to partake in witnessing a vow exchange. Bridesmaids and groomsmen usually don't have to worry about what to wear or what to do-it has already been decided by the bride. But as an observer you may need a little more direction in preparing for a ceremony. This article will provide some tips and guidelines as to how you should prepare for a wedding ceremony.
Stretch a Wedding Band
Gold is one of the most ductile and malleable metals, meaning that it is quite easy to reshape or stretch. It is thus quite possible to resize your wedding band by stretching it, although this option may not yield the most aesthetically pleasing results. Generally, having a qualified jeweler resize your ring will give you seamless results, whereas resizing it yourself by stretching it may leave unsightly lumps or malformations. It also means that you need to have the tools for stretching gold rings available in your home, which not everyone does.
