Wedding gifts are traditional because in generations past, most people who were getting married were young and needed things to set up a household. But if you are more established and do not need things for your home, it might make more sense to request that guests do not bring gifts. Requesting no gifts is also a nice gesture for your friends and family members if you are throwing a destination wedding, as they will already be spending money on airfare, hotels and other expenses. Follow proper etiquette when you want to request that people refrain from giving gifts.

Become a Wedding Organizer
The demand for wedding organizers, planners and consultants is constantly growing. Wedding planners have keen organizational methods and are experts in time management. It's helpful for aspiring wedding planners to have a background in management, finance, decorating, or all three. The planner must be able to work with the budget set by the engaged couple, and she must be able to please all of the guests as well. Once you've decided that you want to become a wedding planner, you should begin researching schools and courses as well as gain experience in all aspects of wedding organizing.
