  • If you have guests who are traveling to a destination wedding, make sure that you give them gift baskets at the hotel they are staying at.

If they are coming from the airport than perhaps hiring a special chauffeur manchester airport car for them can be an added advantage.
  • It’s a nice gift to give the groom his own little cake. Have the cake designer make it resemble his favorite hobbies, like carpentry or football. If it’s a surprise it will be even more meaningful to him! Just make sure that the cake itself tastes good – a wedding cake that looks gorgeous but tastes bad will not leave a good memory.
  • Make sure to include healthy food options for your reception. You might have a vegetarian in attendance or someone who’s just trying to lose weight. Be sure to supply them with options they can enjoy. Vegetables, cooked or raw, and fruit for dessert, will go a long way for anyone who wants to eat something that won’t pack on the pounds.
  • Choose your reception venue with the guests in mind. If your family is mostly elderly then you aren’t likely to choose a location with a lot of stairs, or a big dance floor. If you have anyone in your family who is handicapped then you should ensure that the venue knows they’re coming and will make everything accessible to them.

  • If you are using a wedding planner, it is important that you work with them to make the seating arrangements. You know your guests, so you know who should be seated with whom.

Consider building your registry by household area. On one trip, choose kitchen items, then bathroom goods, then items for the bedroom and so on.
  • If you have a destination wedding, offer a basket full of goodies delivered to guests in their rooms. You can include tidbits like tourist maps and sunglasses, novelty towels or even information on nearby attractions. You could also toss in a few suggestions for local eateries and cafes.
  • If children are attending, make sure they are dressed comfortably. Stick to soft fabrics that fit just loosely enough to not cause discomfort. New shoes need to be broken in so that they don’t cause pain on the big day.

  • When you are planning your wedding reception, and money is tight, you should choose buffet style to serve your guests.

  • Do not let small details upset you. Everything might not go as planned, and you might have to find alternatives.

  • Discuss sponsorship with vendors who will be servicing your wedding. Many vendors will reduce costs if you allow them to do small things such as their name on the place cards for tables, listing them in the wedding program or perhaps a mention during the reception festivities by the DJ. These small savings can add up quickly.
  • When someone gives you a gift for your wedding, even if you say “thank you” to them personally, always send a card in the mail thanking them for the gift. In this modern world of technology we often think that social media sites or text messages suffice for a thank you from a wedding. This simply is not true and it is tacky to not send thank you cards for wedding presents.
