How to Make Your Wedding Go with a Bang
If you’ve just announced your engagement to the World, it’s time to start the planning and there is for sure plenty of it. It can sometimes get so hectic and stressy as you try to ensure everyone involved will get the best out of the day, but don’t forget that it is your wedding day too and you should also be able to enjoy it.
Just what is the No.1 reason for wedding misunderstandings?
The main issue which causes arguments, stress or just plain confusion is the wedding etiquette associated with the order of wedding, gift giving, table arrangements and/or dinner speeches.
Order of Weddings
Depending on if you are planning a formal religious service or a more informal non-religious style, you will first want to check what customs and protocol are expected of your style of wedding event. Writing down all guests religions and personalities is the best way to do this. You can do this in 10-20 minutes once you have listed out the people you are inviting.
This expanded details list will then help you to easily answer these major questions:
- where to sit people, who to sit next to who etc.
This is a key point in ensuring your guests and ultimately you have the most fun possible by pairing up similar types of people.
how to know what are appropriate gifts to give.
You know what you would like to receive but most guests have absolutely no idea what are appropriate gifts to give you and don’t want to be seen as having no wedding gift etiquette. A wedding booklet or gift list is the ideal way to let everyone know exactly what you want, and can be easily put online.
giving the best & most appropriate dinner speech.
Knowing what you can and can’t say are the keys to a great wedding speech and no-one wants to be the fool at dinner time. Selecting the best people to give a speech from your list of invited guests is easy now and you can even tell them what to say. They will embelish and exaggerate certain points anyway to make it funny, but this way there should be no major or ‘nasty’ surprises.
Dinner and Food questions.
Your guests will feel truly at ease if they don’t have any concerns over the wedding menu, and as this is also a major area of disagreement you can pre-empt any troubles by aligning your desired catering around what people can and can’t eat. This is especially important in mixed religion or different culture weddings.
There are many things to consider and plan for when organising your wedding and you may decide you want to hire a wedding planner to do this for you. With the cost of such services becoming ever more expensive, many people are doing it themselves and there can be great satisfaction in knowing that you have successfully planned it all yourselves.
