Bye Bye, Bridezilla! Tips For Smooth Sailing

Many people think about the type of wedding they want. This is a great time to invite everyone you know, but it takes some work. Follow the tips we present here to have a wonderful, stress-free wedding day.

Use food that has an ethnic theme for the reception. Chicken and steak are over-served, so why not pick some other foods in your desired cuisine? Variety makes things interesting and will ensure you have a memorable dinner!

If there will be toasts or speeches given at your wedding reception, ask the speakers to practice in front of you to ensure that the material is appropriate for those attending your wedding. For example, you would want to eliminate any jokes that apply to a very specific group within your guests in order to avoid anyone feeling excluded and to make sure the speech is well-received by all who attend your wedding.

You can not serve everyone’s favorite top-shelf drink or you would quickly exceed the price of the dress, so consider what you like, and what will keep you within your budget. Open bar is the most expensive option, and the longer the bar is open, the more expensive it becomes. The venue representative will be able to advise you of the various alcohol service options available.

Spend some time writing your vows. These words are important for your new spouse. Keep in mind that the union of marriage is a long term commitment and will require both parties to make some sacrifices. Make sure your vows truly reflect your feelings for your spouse.

You do not have to get a wedding cake that is filled with countless calories. There are some bakers who are able to prepare delicious and beautiful cakes that are individually sized to be just enough to give someone the cake they want without the calories they do not want. Some bakeries will even ship fresh cupcakes with fewer than 100 calories per serving as well as healthy options like gluten-free ingredients, fruit-filling instead of frosting, no-calorie sweeteners, or even tart meringue toppings.

Putting together a wedding is no easy feat, but using the advice here can help make your wedding a success. These tips should have helped you have more fun with your wedding planning.
