An Hour By Hour Planning Guide For The Wedding Day

Most couples put a huge effort into the planning of their wedding. When you are planning

your wedding, make sure you look at the tips in this article.

Before you start purchasing anything for your event, sign up for a credit card that offers

incentives and rewards. Weddings cost a lot, so it is a good idea to use a card that offers

miles or other good incentives. Stick to one credit card for all your wedding purchases, so

you can get lots of rewards.

Costly wedding floral arrangements can be replaced with ornamental potted plants for an

aesthetic and exotic effect. Use some glazed, colorful ceramic pots or embellish earthy

terracotta stoneware using decoupage, ribbons, or some fancy paint effects. You can even

used the potted plants as a favor for guests after the wedding or plant them in your yard as a

memory of the wedding.

Make sure the lighting at your wedding reception venue can be dimmed. You may not think

about it in advance, but you may want the lights turned down a bit during some dances or for

the cake cutting. Before you sign any contracts with the venue, make sure this is an option.

If the bride's wedding experience doesn't live up to her expectations, expect to have an

unhappy bride. Once the bride starts worrying about her wedding, if the fear of a poorly

planned wedding sets in, she will quickly start to feel devastated. Allow her to run the show

and make decisions for the happiest, smoothest event.

When you have selected your wedding date and theme, one of the first things to tie your

wedding together will be the invitations. You can give your guests ideas of what colors to

wear to the wedding or other themes. Be sure to consider all of your options before selecting

wedding invitations.

If you're long on time but short on money, think about creating your own personalized

wedding invitations. If you purchase a kit for making invitations, it will cost you a lot less, plus

it will also let you add more of your own flavor to it.

The lighting at the wedding reception venue should be able to be dimmed. You may not think

this detail is important; however, consider the effect of low lights on parts of your reception.

For example, you may want to dim the lights for your first dance or other important dances

and brighten them when you want everyone to participate in dancing. Be sure to find out

about these details before you decide for sure.

Be mindful of possible weather conditions. Guests will not appreciate a hot and sticky

outdoor wedding and most likely won't want to stick around to socialize and celebrate with

you. Also, if the weather is cold at your party, they may want to leave. Do make sure that

your guests are provided for during weather extremes at a wedding, such as having fans

available if the heat is high.

Any children in your ceremony need to be dressed comfortably. Make sure all their clothes

are not scratchy or binding. Shoes should be broken in and comfortable. Paying attention to

the clothes children wear will allow kids to enjoy their wedding experience without being

uncomfortable.
