Just About Love Weddings, Do's and Don'ts for a wedding day
We love to see what couples include in their wedding day and what they choose to not incorporate. We all know you can’t have it all and trying to decided what fits within your budget and your wedding day timeline should be important to you.
We have a few things we recommend doing and not doing on your wedding day.
Do’s:
First Look- We love wedding traditions, and we will always do what you want to do, but we do recommend doing a first look. It helps take the pressure off the couple and allows a special moment to be photographed for a keepsake of your wedding day.
Seating Chart- We like different style receptions. We see it all but at the end of the day, guest like direction. They do not want to sit with people they are unfamiliar with, so do not do an open seating reception. We know it is a pain to create a seating chart, but your guest will be much appreciative of it.
Skip the Party Favors, Boquet Toss and Garter Toss. These traditions have gone to the waste side but if they are meaningful to you include them!
Don’t
Wedding Party Introductions: This is going out and we are ok with it. The day is about the 2 of you and as we know your wedding party is special to you, it is not as special to the rest of your guest. Save the time with the band / dj and skip the introductions.
Wedding Party Speeches: This goes a little bit with the first one. We recommend doing the Maid of Honor and Best Man speeches at the rehearsal dinner. Not everyone needs to hear your life story or college stories; by skipping these it will allow more time on the dance floor.
Online RSVP’s: Do not include response cards. We live in a digital world so you might as well take advantage of it. Have your guest respond on your website and if you want to take it a step further, create a QR code that is linked to your RSVP site on your wedding page.
Don’t forget planning a wedding and wedding weekend should be fun!
