Wedding Wednesday – RSVP To The Wedding

Your Wedding Wednesday Question

What do I do to get my guest to RSVP in a timely manner?

Answer:
When you write the invitation include a timeframe to respond by putting “Please RSVP by…” in the invite. Send your invites with plenty of time in advance so your guests can make arrangements to make it to your wedding. the RSVP time frame should be about a month before your actual day so you can notify your caterer. Also, include an envelope with the address and stamp already on it to make it easier for guests to RSVP. You can also set up and RSVP online through a service or have your guests email their RSVP to you.

You can always give your guests a call if they haven’t replied by the due date. Check in with them a week before you need to have the information to your vendors.

Wedding Wednesday – Friends As Bridesmaids

Your Wedding Wednesday Question

If I am a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding, do I have to include her as a bridesmaid at my own wedding?

Answer:
You should do as you like and not feel pushed to do something that would make you uncomfortable on your wedding day. A suggestion is to include them in some kind of way as a reader or another small role similar to that.

Wedding Wednesday – Wedding Flowers

Your Wedding Wednesday Question

Who is responsible for the flowers at the wedding — such as the bouquets, table arrangements, etc.

Answer:

It differs from culture to culture. Usually the bride pays for all the flowers but in some cultures the groom pays for the bride’s bouquet. The groom might also pay for the flowers for his attendants, such as boutonnieres for the groomsmen and corsages for his mother and grandmother..

Trending Tuesdays – Winter Wedding Trends

We at Wedding and Party Network have looked around to find some inspiration for winter weddings. Here’s our list of what we found.

Gold and Silver.

Use these colors separately or even together. They both add elegance to your wedding. Incorporate these colors in your bridesmaids dresses or the wedding cake. It adds a frosty feeling if you use silver or a warmth if you use gold.

Winter Colors

Green and white are the colors of winter. You can use a lot of pines (and pine cones) in the decorations for your silverware, table runners, on the chairs or just simply use them as decor at food stations. You will already use white in the dress and table linens but there are so many other ways you can implement white in the shape of snowflakes or just normal snow looking details. These are not the only colors. Green and white go great with pale pastels and complete the look, especially in a bouquet!

It’s All About Comfort

Comfort food has become a big hit when it comes to weddings. Serve comfort food as a late night snack for your guests. Also, serve comfort food as part of the actual meal in the shape of fancy mac and cheese and biscuits and gravy. To make it more fun, make your favorite comfort food in mini versions. Imagine small cheeseburgers or some cookies and milk. It’s going to be a favorite all around.

With A Scent Of Winter

During Christmas time you can always smell cinnamon and other lovely spices coming from the kitchen. Why not invite these scents and flavors to your wedding? And don’t forget about the smell of pines from the Christmas tree.

Wedding Wednesday – Thank-You Notes

Your Wedding Wednesday Question

How long after the wedding is it appropriate to send a thank-you note?

Answer:

It is always best to try to send the thank you card as soon as possible after the wedding, but the deadline for sending them is three months. Keep in mind that making an informal thank you on social media, email or your wedding website does not make up for a handwritten note.

A way to get the cards out faster is for the bride and groom, now husband and wife, to write the cards together and then signing each one. If it is taking longer than expected to get the cards to your guests, you can send an email thanking your guests and also tell them that they will be receiving a card in the mail soon.

Wedding Wednesday – Invitation If Not Attending

wedding-wednesday

Your Wedding Wednesday Question

If I know someone can’t attend the wedding, do I still send them a wedding invitation?

Answer:

No, you should not send an invitation if you know beforehand that they can’t make it, since an invitation to a wedding comes with the assumption of having to get the bride and groom a wedding gift. It would almost be rude for people to think that they have to give a wedding gift if they can’t attend. If it is a close friend or family member that are unable to attend, you should send an invite along with a note inside explaining it’s for them to keep.

Wedding Tip Of The Week – Swedish Wedding Tradition

When looking at wedding traditions to incorporate into your special day, you may come across some very interesting finds! Here is a curious wedding tradition from Sweden.

You may kiss the bride…

All the men at the wedding reception that is. Wait, what? Yes, the tradition in Sweden goes that when the groom leaves the room, for example to get more food, all the men sitting at the table has to get up and stand in line to give the bride, yes the bride, a kiss before he can leave. Custom in Sweden too is to have one or two long tables at the wedding reception, so when you say all the men at the table, that’s quite a lot. Of course the same goes if the bride has to leave the room, then all the women line up to kiss the groom.

Maybe incorporate this interesting tradition with a twist! At the end of the night, when you officially leave the table, your guests line up and you give each an individual goodbye and thank them for being a part of your special day!
