You want your wedding day to be special. But it doesn't have to be an extravagant, budget-busting event. With a little thought and planning, an informal wedding can be a memorable and a tailor-made delight for any couple who prefers to keep things simple. Read on to learn more.
Make Your Own Wedding Planner Book
If you want a spectacular wedding with fashions, flowers and food that your guests will be talking about for years to come, you may need months of preparation. Keep your ideas, to-do lists, itineraries and contractor agreements organized with a custom-made wedding planner book. Create the wedding organizer with inexpensive office supplies and craft materials and you'll be able to preserve the book as a treasured wedding keepsake.
Decorate a Church for a Wedding
While most weddings take place in a church, there is no one way to decorate a church for a wedding. The way the church is decorated will depend on the rules of the church, the personal tastes of the couple and the budget you have for the wedding.
Set Up a Wedding Reception
Setting up a wedding reception may seem like an overwhelming task, as there are many components to arrange. From table set-up to testing all sound equipment, a lot of work goes in to setting up for a reception prior to the guests' arrival. While daunting at first, setting up a wedding reception is actually very simple. By preparing all tables in advance, you will make it easy for catering companies and bakers to deliver all of the food. Using the bride and groom's seating chart, you can quickly and efficiently put together a room for a wedding reception.
Thaw the Top Layer of a Wedding Cake
The wedding is finally over. The guests have all gone home and the gifts have all been opened. After the reception there is just one wedding tradition to fulfill before the honeymoon: properly freeze the top layer of your wedding cake. Tradition dictates that this tasty tidbit be kept frozen for exactly one year, until your first anniversary, at which point you and your not-so-newlywed spouse can enjoy it while wondering where the time went.
