Here is how to tactfully request money as gifts from your guests without making a major social faux pas.

Weddings are unique events because they not only reflect a country's long-held traditions, but also its sense of play. If you're having a German wedding, you'll find a variety of both.

Decorate the Walls of a Wedding Venue
The reception venue you booked fits very well within your budget, is the perfect size to accommodate all your guests and is at the perfect location. But there is a problem. The walls are too ugly for your tastes. Several things can ruin the look of your reception, including old wood paneling, unattractive paint colors or faded wallpaper. Fortunately, there are several things you can do to dress up ugly walls so they become a lovely part of your reception venue.

Start a Wedding Planner Agency
A wedding planner is someone who works as a consultant to the bride and plans all aspects of the wedding and reception. There are no regulations or licensing requirements to become a wedding planner, other than a municipal business license as your city or state requires. In order to succeed as a wedding planner, you must be knowledgeable, professional and have contacts within the field.
