Tip #34: Making guests comfortable
Friday, June 29, 2012
Tip of the Day
Provide enough heat after dark for an outdoor wedding:It's a beautiful 80-degree day, but after the sun goes down at 9p.m. you still have guests dining outside under the stars. Make sure to have heaters in place for your guests' comfort at night. If heaters are out of the budget, purchase scarves for the ladies, which also make for a great take away gift or you can donate the shawls to a women's shelter.

Tip of the Day
Remember to choose and purchase gifts for your wedding attendants. Have them wrapped and ready before they are given out at either the rehearsal dinner or bridesmaids luncheon. You can also begin writing thank you notes for any other individuals that have, or will be, contributing their time and/or talent to the wedding (i.e. a friend who will be doing a solo during the ceremony). You may also wish to purchase small gifts for these individuals. Sending a small bouquet of flowers or inviting them out for a lunch date is a kind gesture of your appreciation.
Tip #32: Honeymoon Details
Wednesday, June 27, 2012
Tip of the Day
Don't forget about your honeymoon details-- passports, airline tickets, hotel reservations, etc-- be sure to go over any last minute details with your travel agent. Also, begin shopping for the items you plan on purchasing and packing before the trip. It's a good idea to start packing at least a week before your departure. Consider what the climate will be like and the sorts of activities you have planned for the trip and pack accordingly. Don't forget to bring along plenty of one-dollar bills for tipping cab drivers, baggage handlers, etc.
Tip #31: Directions available at wedding
Tuesday, June 26, 2012
Tip of the Day
Sometimes you would think that an address in the invitation is enough for your guests. Families, friends and guests may not be familiar with the wedding venue, so it is always wise to give directions or sketch, which you can enclose in your invitation. This is especially helpful if the venue is quite hard to find. Of course, you don't want your guests getting lost on the way to your wedding.
