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.
Make Wedding Invitation Cards
Make exquisite wedding invitation cards for a fraction of the price of having a wedding shop create them. Being frugal is not only necessary these days, it's trendy. Your guests will be impressed when you say, I made them myself, because until you tell them, they'll never guess!
Get Certified to Perform Marriages
If you want to perform a wedding, it's surprisingly easy to get ordained to do so. In most states, any recognized member of the clergy can perform a wedding ceremony, so all you need to do is get properly certified through a recognized church, and you can marry a couple.
Create a Wedding Program in Microsoft Word
Many factors can contribute to the expense of a wedding, but the wedding programs do not have to be one of them. You can eliminate the cost of hiring a professional printer by printing the wedding programs yourself in a word processing application. Fortunately, Microsoft Word is a word processing program that is commonly used to create wedding programs.
