Planning A Destination Wedding

The Ease Of Destination Weddings

The average traditional wedding can take over 200 hours to coordinate and plan. That is not even including the wedding reception. Planning a destination wedding is not only less time consuming than planning a traditional wedding, but could keep you from going insane during the planning process. Whether it’s 500 or 5,000 miles away, your destination wedding, if done right, could be the most effortless and trouble-free planning experience of your life. This is why destination weddings are becoming so popular. Who wants to spend their entire engagement running around like a chicken with their head cut off, trying to figure out who has RSVP’d or who wants chicken or steak? An engagement is supposed to be a joyous time for you and your fiancé, and the wedding process is expected to be the same.

ETIQUETTE FOR WEDDING INVITATIONS

The Etiquette of Wedding Invitations

Wedding invitations can set the tone and style of a wedding. The wedding invitations also indicate how formal the occasion will be. Selecting just the right wording and stationery for the wedding invitation are important decisions. Wedding invitation etiquette helps to clarify what the wedding invitation should include. A wedding invitation should state the following:

Who is getting married
Who is hosting or giving the wedding
The date
The time
The location

Wedding etiquette should not be thought of as a list of rigid rules. A knowledge of wedding etiquette is simply knowing, or being aware of, how to deal with different situations in a practical and useful manner.

Examples of Wedding Invitations

Below are examples of the traditional wording for wedding invitations. There are also examples of Continue reading "ETIQUETTE FOR WEDDING INVITATIONS" »

Picture Perfect Proposal

Submitted by Jordon from Jonesboro Arkansas
Matt and I were on our way to Hot Springs for a day of relaxation. He had planned the day and it was all a surprise to me as to what we would be doing.

When 5pm rolled around, we were Continue reading "Picture Perfect Proposal" »

Outdoor Wedding Cake

When planning an outdoor wedding, it is a good idea to order a fondant wedding cake. Rolled, draped, or fitted over a wedding cake, fondant is a sugar paste that will hold up in many situations. Fondant wedding cakes won’t drip or melt under any conditions. Fondant also seals in moisture and allows for advanced display time for the wedding cake. Besides the durability of fondant, it is available in a variety of colors that will match virtually any color scheme.

Choosing A Flower Girl

Choose a flower girl between the ages of 4 and 8; keeping the child’s personality in mind. Don’t choose a child that is painfully shy even if she is the most adorable child in the world. Chances are your wedding will not be the place where she comes out of her shell and she will be to frighten to walk down the isle. It is appropriate to select a flower girl for your wedding from nieces, cousins or family friends.

After selecting the flower girl check with the Continue reading "Choosing A Flower Girl" »
