How to plan the best wedding ever
Make your wedding about you!
Helter Skelter Fun!
If there is one piece of advice that I can give you with regard to your wedding day it's this: Make your day about you and plan what happens around what you want. Don't want to do a first dance? You don't have to. If you want Alpacas at your wedding, there are suppliers for that! Make it about who you are and that will be a great step to making it a day you and your guests will remember forever!
Make it about your Guests
Give them something to do
Weddings are special days out of the ordinary, and your family and friends have come to see you say "I do" to your best friend. It's absolutely magical. Is there anything for your guests to do between any food you're providing? Making sure they have access to enough drinks is also key. Are you having kids at the wedding? Will they be bored if there is nothing for them to do?
Make time for formals
we don't need long
Group formals take about half an hour so make sure there is plenty of time either side of that to hang out with your guests. Consider that Geoff will probably be queing for the loo when he's needed for a group shot, having a loud family member on hand at this point can speed things up no end!
