One of the most important things you can give your guests is a map to your wedding. This is included in the invitation and takes the hassle and guesswork out of trying to find the location for your guests so they are happy, relaxed and arrive on time. Making a wedding map is simple enough, you just have to use a little common sense and take the time to create a nice looking map that will be easily understood by even those with no sense of direction.
Tell a Guest You Want Money For Your Wedding Present
Weddings are momentous occasions that represent intimidating budgets and planning. For many couples, marriage involves the merging of households, so gifts may not be practical. Traditionally, guests attend the ceremony and the reception, where they can give a congratulatory gift to the couple. Etiquette, however, frowns upon the obvious request (or demand) for gifts, because the bride and groom invite guests for a celebration. For couples planning a wedding, novel approaches may help provide gentle direction to guests who are open to giving money as a gift. In all cases, remember that wedding gifts are optional and that presents are given in the spirit of wishing a couple well.
Rent a Home for a Wedding
Hosting a wedding in your own home comes with a host of problems, including obtaining permits, finding outdoor restrooms and dealing with guests who won't leave. That's why a number of brides rent private homes for their wedding. You still get the down-home feel of having a private wedding at home but without the hassles. Before renting a home, you have to consider a number of different factors.
Plan a Winter Wedding
Winter weddings are glamorous and dramatic and different from the traditional June wedding. Planning a winter wedding takes creativity and patience, since it isn't as common and the weather becomes a large issue. Follow the steps to learn how to plan your own romantic winter wedding.
Make a Wedding Dress Bigger
Bridal wear can be a hassle to alter, and expensive to. Fortunately, you can alter many wedding dresses at home with a friend. Dresses that are too tight under the arm can be easily fixed with a gusset, and dresses too tight in the hips or waist can be let out a couple of inches. Bridal wear manufacturers incorporate a generous seam allowance that allows professionals to make timely alterations. Does this Spark an idea?
