Your wedding can be a perfect event when you letus provide all your reception needs!
According to a 2012 report in
Brides magazine, the averageAmerican couple spends justunder $27,000 on their wedding,while their northern neighbors inCanada spend slightly more than$23,000 on average for their bigday. Clearly couples, regardless ofwhich side of the border they callhome, can expect to invest asubstantial amount of money fortheir weddings.
While many couples find the cost of awedding is well worth it, others would like tofind ways to save so their big day isnt abudget-buster.Such savings arent alwayseasy to come by, especially for couples witha very distinctive picture in mind of whattheir wedding should be. However, even
couples strongly committed to a certainwedding style might change their mindsonce they realize how much such a dreamwedding will cost. For those couples as wellas couples who simply want to save somemoney, the following are a few ideas to avoidbusting your budget without venturing too farfrom your dream wedding.
Trim the guest list. The guest list is
perhaps the easiest place to begin savingmoney. Many reception halls will charge by
the head, so consider if you really need toinvite 150 guests or if 100 will do. Suchtrimming can save you a substantial amountof money. For example, a banquet hall thatcharges $200 per guest will cost coupleswith a guest list of 150 $30,000 for thereception alone. Cutting that guest list to 100reduces that cost by $10,000. When puttingtogether the guest list, remove thosecandidates who would best be described asacquaintances.This can include coworkerswith whom you dont socialize, as well as oldcollege friends to whom you rarely speak.Distant cousins you havent spoken to inyears can also be cut from the list.
Dont go overboard on the gown. Stylesare ever-changing, so theres a strongchance brides wont be passing down their
wedding gowns to their own daughterssomeday. Whats popular now will likelyseem outdated by the time your daughterwalks down the aisle. Keep this in mindwhen shopping for a wedding dress, whichcan be made in the same design as the oneyou try on but with cheaper fabrics that are afraction of the cost.
Simple ways tosave on your wedding
A bride whos willing tobe flexible with respectto her wedding gowncan save a substantialamount of money.
Rather than offering afull bar, limit the choicesto beer and wine,which will be perfectlyacceptable to mostguests anyway.
Weddings
Awedding is a once-in-a-lifetime eventfor many couples, so brides andgrooms wish for the event to be
momentous and memorable. As such,couples are increasingly integratingpersonal nuances into their ceremonies andreceptions to tailor weddings to their uniquevisions.The desire to include personalizedwedding vows continues to be a populartrend.
If you are considering personalized weddingvows, first realize that it may not be a simple
task. Thats because you want the messageconveyed to be dear to your heart, and thatcan be challenging when faced with thepressures and planning of the rest of thewedding. That isnt to say that writing yourown vows is impossible. Here are someguidelines for personalizing your ceremonywith your own sentiments.
Schedule time for writing. Amid thebustle of dress fittings and interviews withphotographers, it can be easy to put off theimportant task of writing vows for anotherday. But as any great writer can attest, ittakes writing and rewriting to achievea finished product you can be proud of. Give
the task of writing your vows your undividedattention. Mark it in on your calendar or seta reminder on your computer just as youwould any other appointment.

Planning a wedding is no small feat, ascouples are faced with many decisions
seemingly from the moment they getngaged right up until they walk down thesle as man and wife. One of the biggest
ecisions a couple will make is where toost the reception.
ouples must consider a variety of factorshen looking for the right banquet hall to
ost their reception.The wedding is aelebration, and the banquet hall is where
he couple and their guests will let their hairown and hopefully enjoy a festive and
memorable night. Because the reception isypically the most lengthy portion of a
ouples wedding day, its important to find aace where everyone can be comfortable
nd enjoy themselves.The following are aew tips for couples looking to find the idealanquet hall to host their wedding reception.
Ask around. Word-of-mouth is a great wayo find the right banquet hall. Ask friends or
amily members who got hitched in the sameown where your ceremony will be if they
an recommend a reception site. Theseiends or family members can provide a
ehind-the-scenes look at a reception hall,
om how accommodating the staff was toow flexible the banquet hall was withegard to pricing to how open the staff was
o suggestions.Wedding planning isnt easy,o if friends, family members or coworkersecommend a hassle-free banquet hall, that
ecommendation can remove a lot of thetress from planning a wedding.
Consider the size of the facility. Some
couples prefer an intimate affair withrelatively few guests, while others will desire
a large wedding party with lots of guests.Couples can find a banquet hall thats
capable of catering to small or largewedding parties, but find one that fits your
party specifically. If your wedding party is
small, then avoid a larger facility that willappear empty. If the party is large, make
sure theres adequate room so guests wontfeel like theyre sitting on top of one another
during dinner and dessert.
Dont downplay dcor. A banquet hall
with an attractive dcor is not onlyaesthetically appealing but can appeal to a
couples finances as well. Such a hall likelywont need any additional decorations, while
a banquet hall thats unadorned and lacksembellishments will, and those decorations
can dip into a couples overall weddingbudget. Compare the costs of the moredecorated banquet hall with the one thats
more plain in appearance, factoring in thecost to decorate the latter, and you might
just realize the one with more aesthetic
appeal is more affordable in the long run. Prioritize privacy. Few couples would beopen to strangers having easy access to
their wedding reception.When shopping fora banquet hall, look for one that gives you
and your guests all the privacy you need.

WeddingsThe best man toastcan be one of themost memorable partsof a couples wedding.Sometimes a toast ismemorable for itshumor and heartfeltsense of appreciationfor the groom and hisbride, while othertoasts are more
memorable for all thewrong reasons.
One of the reasons bestman toasts can be sounpredictable is that giving abest man toast is such aunique experience. Itssomething many men never
do, while those who do givea best man toast may onlydo it once in a lifetime. Itsunderstandable to benervous when asked to givea best man toast, but thereare a few tricks of the tradea best man can employ tocalm those nerves andensure his toast ismemorable for all the right
reasons.
Practice makes perfect.Few people are capable ofstanding in front of a crowdof people and speaking offthe cuff. A best man shouldtake this into account andpractice his speech before
the big day. A spur-of-the-
moment speech mayprovide an adrenaline rush,
but such an endeavor maycome off as if you didnt careenough to put the effort into
writing a thoughtful toastahead of time.In addition,practicing the toast once its
been written will make youfeel more comfortable and
confident in front of thecrowd. If possible, practicein front of a friend or familymember so you can solicit
feedback. A friend or relativemight be able to help youfine-tune the speech, which
in turn can calm your nerves
once youre handed the
microphone.
Avoid alcohol. Getting
liquored up prior to your
toast is a recipe for disaster.
Though it may seem like a
good idea to employ alcohol
to calm your nerves and
lower your inhibitions, its not
a good idea. Consuming
alcohol before your toast
increases the chance that
you will end up
embarrassing the bride and
groom as well as yourself.Heres to youTips for a great best man toast

More and more couples planning to walkdown the aisle are embracing save-the-date cards to give guests adequate
notice that there is a party on the horizon.
Save-the-date cards do more than let guests
know when youre getting hitched.The cardsare a preliminary way to keep guests informedand let them know they are, in fact, on theguest list.These cards havent always been sopopular, but have risen in popularity due tolonger engagement periods, a growing numberof destination weddings and the growingnumber of couples with guests from all over thecountry, if not the world. Considering peopleoften plan business trips, vacations and otherexcursions several months in advance, save-the-date cards help secure a greater number ofattendees at your wedding.
Save-the-date announcements can vary inmany ways.They may be postcards ormagnets that can be attached to a refrigeratordoor.If you desire a cohesive theme to yourwedding stationery, select the save-the-date
cards at the same time you choose yourwedding invitations.This way you can ensurethat either the patterns, fonts, colors, or style ofthe cards will match.It will also help convey thetone of the wedding.Guests often take theircues regarding the level of formality of thewedding from the type of stationery coupleschoose.
When to send out the save-the-date
announcements is important as well.As ageneral rule of thumb, it is wise to mail out thecards 6 months in advance for a standardwedding. If the wedding requires travel orextended overnight accommodations, you may
want to mail them out 8 months to a year inadvance to give guests the time to investigateflight costs and hotel arrangements. A weddingalso may necessitate planning a vacation orpersonal time off from work.Therefore, ampleadvanced notice is advisable.
Be sure to make your guest list in advance ofsending out save-the-date cards.Everyonewho receives a card should also be sent aninvitation prior to the wedding.Remember toinclude any members of your planned weddingparty in the list of recipients. Just because aperson has verbally confirmed attendance atyour wedding doesnt mean they should beexcluded from subsequent announcements.Guests may talk to one another and it is best toavoid hurt feelings and any added dramabefore the wedding by treating everyoneequally.
Be sure to include the wedding date, yournames and the location of the wedding on thesave-the-date cards.You do not need to offerRSVP information or detailed specifics at thistime.You may want to include a Web site URLon the card so guests can check it frequentlyfor updates on wedding information.

Weddings
When the time comes to walk down
the aisle, more and more couples
are choosing to make the
rocession in a far-off land. Destination
weddings are on the rise, with researchers at
TheKnot.com reporting that roughly one in
our couples who tied the knot in 2011 chose
o have a destination wedding.
Destination weddings may appear to be an
deal way to tie the knot, but couples should
now that planning such a ceremony may be
ven more difficult than planning a more
raditional affair. Couples who choose to have
destination wedding must be ready to put a
ignificant amount of faith in a wedding
planner, who is often affiliated with the resort
where the couple will be staying. Though the
wedding planner may handle many of the
details concerning the ceremony and the
reception, couples should know that some of
that planning will still fall on their shoulders as
well.That planning may not be so simple, so
before couples spread the word about theirisland wedding, its best to consider a few
factors to determine if a destination wedding
is truly the best way to go.
Guests: How many guests a couple hopes
to invite is a great starting point when
determining if a destination wedding is for
you. Many couples who choose to have a
destination wedding do so because they
prefer a more intimate ceremony. Destination
weddings are obviously more expensive for
guests than a more traditional ceremony, so
many guests wont be able to afford to attend.
Couples who intend to invite many guests
might want to avoid a destination wedding.
Locale: The destination for your destination
wedding should be a locale that holds a
special place in your heart. A random location
that you find on the Internet might work out,
but having some prior experience with the
destination can help you anticipate minor, yet
potentially problematic, issues.These issues
can include the accessibility of the airport,
currency exchange rate and the weather. In
addition, you can help guests have a better
time on their trips if you have already
familiarized yourself with the locale. If you
havent traveled much as a couple and dont
have a particular place in mind, then you
might find a destination wedding is more
hassle than its worth.
Accessibility: A common problem many
couples encounter when planning adestination wedding is the accessibility of their
chosen locale. Couples will likely have to visit
the destination at least once prior to their
wedding, which will eat up some of your
wedding budget and your vacation time
(which you will need to save for the actual
wedding and your honeymoon). If the locale is
a remote island thats not very accessible, that
can make these pre-wedding trips pretty
stressful.
Accessibility should also be a consideration
for your guests.How far will your guests have
to travel? How much money will guests have
to spend on airfare and hotelaccommodations? The less accessible the
locale is, the more you and your guests are
going to have to spend.
Accessibility of the airport is another
consideration. Some island locales and
resorts are known for their remoteness, which
can be a problem for wedding guests. If the
resort is a long ride away from the airport,
thats another expense for guests.The resort
may provide a shuttle service, but that cost
will fall on the couple and the shuttle may not
run frequently, which can prove problematic
when guestsarrivals are staggered.
Legality: The law is another thing couples
must consider when deciding if a destination
wedding is for them.Laws vary depending on
the locale, so before you commit to a specific
locale, make sure youre legally allowed to getmarried there and if there are any hurdles you
must clear before you can.Those hurdles
might be significant, and couples may find
theyre not worth the hassle.
Destination weddings are on the rise, but
couples must consider a host of factors to
ensure a destination wedding is truly for them.
