Giving your wedding guests favors is a nice way to say, "Thank you for sharing in our special day." You may be wondering what type of favors you could give to your guests, but can not come up with any ideas. This article will help give you some advice for picking the perfect wedding favors that your guests will love.
Try to negotiate as much as possible with the vendors that you are using for your wedding. If you do not act persistent, they will not reduce their cost themselves. Try to give your vendors a rich incentive to beat out the competition and earn your business for your wedding.
Do not use white flowers in your wedding. White flowers have a tendency to bruise, making them look unattractive and causing them to be virtually unusable. This means that your florist will have to get rid of a bunch of the blooms in order to find some that will look perfect on your special day. You will spend less money if you choose a different color.
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.
Ensure that everyone coming to your destination wedding, knows exactly what to do and where to go when they get off the plane. Provide them with detailed instructions on how to get to the hotel and then, how to get from the hotel to your wedding location. They should also have help in heading home.
Get the most from your wedding planner by doing your homework prior to your first meeting. Follow the lead of fashion designers and stylists who create "look books" and mood boards comprised of fabric swatches, imagery and other inspirational tidbits that can serve as a starting point for the finished product. You can include magazine clippings, photographs or even song lyrics to communicate your vision to your planner.
Reserve several different blocks of hotel rooms for your wedding. You want to make sure that you have something that will fit everyone's budget, and reserving the rooms in advance will give your guests a better rate. Approximately four weeks before the wedding, release any rooms that have not been booked. Make sure you don't reserve at any hotels that have cancellation policies.
Buying locally can save you tons of money and help your community's economy, too. Choosing local vendors means you won't be charged for the extra distance they have to travel, which is especially important when it comes to catering. Using a local florist also means that you will receive a fresh bouquet on your wedding day.
Get married in an unusual location. The most popular venues in town will book early and will be very expensive. Consider going to an aquarium or a museum and seeing what they charge for a reception. Their packages usually include almost everything that you will need, and they cost less than other traditional venues.
