Though your wedding day represents a day of love between yourself and your groom and it is thought of as "your day to be the princess and center of attention...." Where would you be without your guests? To truely share this day with your guests and to show them that they are thought of on this your wedding day follow these tips....
For your out of town Guests...
Call your local Chanmer of Commerce for the city in which the wedding and reeption are being held. You can send them mailing lables of your out of town guests and they will send packets about the town your wedding is being held in. Your guests can make note of places of interest they would like to see while they are in town. A mini vacation/wedding in one!
Think of your guests first. Think about what the weather will likely be at the time of day and month of the year of your outdoor wedding. Check the farmer’s almanac for conditions that could be expected. If it’s hot, don’t leave your guests melting in the sun. Rent a tent to shade your event.
Can everybody hear? When you picture your dream wedding at the beach, you’re probably not hearing the roaring of the waves, the rushing wind, or the local kids running and screaming around you. Look into renting a sound system with clip mikes for the bride, groom and officiant. Your DJ or band may be able to easily arrange this for you. (apply this to any site...)
Share details. Don’t be afraid to share information and assistance to your out-of-town guests about travel plans, hotel accommodations, and seasonal weather. Offer your guests a courteous mention about appropriate dress to each wedding event you are having. This means your wedding party, too. Let your party know what to wear to the rehearsal dinner and any other wedding weekend events. Well-informed guests are happy guests.
What's missing from most Weddings? A Toast from the Bride and Groom. Think about it from your guests' perspective: They're surrounded by people they do not know, and then they never hear from the people they're celebrating. You want them to feel glad they're there for you!
