No matter the size of your wedding, you're likely to have gone through a fair share of planning to execute the entire shindig. When the big day arrives and you've said "I do," it's time to party. Use the reception as a time to really have some fun while dancing, drinking and mingling with your guests.
Word Military Wedding Invitations
Proper wedding etiquette dictates titles and formal names are used in all wedding stationery, particularly, the invitations. The general rules of wedding invitation wording are the same as non-military invitations; with the exception of the way the names are worded. The proper way to word your invitations will depend on who is in the armed forces or retired from the military and their rank.
Wrap Flowers for Wedding Bouquets
To add a splash of elegance to your bridal bouquet, wrap a luxurious ribbon around the stems. This protects your hands and prevents the flower stems from staining your palms as you walk down the aisle. There are two techniques used in wrapping flowers for a bridal bouquet. The first is a simple wrap while the second is known as a braid or a French knot. The French knot can be used over the wrap for a fancy flourish.

Nobody wants to stand too long, yet you need to say something meaningful. You are the least important person, yet you will probably talk the most.
