Weddings are exciting! Two hearts join as one! Many have dreamed of this special day for a long time. This article will give you practical advice to make your day special for the two of you.

Food

You can consider holding a separate “reception” style party at your home after the wedding for friends and family who couldn’t attend the wedding. It can be much like your wedding reception, and you can show photos or video from the actual wedding and enjoy good food and dancing with your loved ones who couldn’t make it to the big day.

When deciding on food for your wedding reception, take into account everyone who is on your guest list. Try to keep in mind what kind of food your guests do and don’t like, or can and can’t eat for health reasons, and try to plan accordingly to have something on the menu for everyone.

Wine

If finances are tight, consider a themed wedding. Many couples do not have the money to spend on an open bar. You can make that a non-issue by holding a themed event that hides the fact that you are not offering a wide variety of alcoholic beverages. For example, if you choose an Italian themed reception, you can offer red and white wine with the meal.

Do not serve champagne during the meal. You will save a lot of money on your wedding if you only use champagne for the toasts. Your guests can enjoy wine or other drinks during the meal, and you will be able to signify how special the toasts are to you by breaking out the champagne at that time.

Venue

Wait before making major wedding decisions. When you go to see a venue that you are sure you love, don’t put down a deposit right away. Go home, look at a couple of other places, and make a decision then. Making impulse decisions can cost you more money and a lifetime of regret so make sure you think as much as you are able to.

One consideration many people don’t think about when planning a wedding is how they will keep underage guests from drinking. This activity is illegal and you never know who might call the police on your event, especially the people who own the venue you’re using! Protect everyone from prosecution and let the bartender know who shouldn’t be served.

Yes! Wedding are exciting! It is a time to celebrate two people sharing their lives together. No doubt, there are many decisions and much planning to do. Use the practical suggestions given in the above article to help make your day special! Congratulations!
