Make sure that at your wedding, there are enough refreshments for all of your guests. During the night, there will be a lot of dancing and conversing, which can lead to dehydration. Prepare accordingly by having a lot of quality water and soda in many different locations at your wedding.
If you are purchasing your wedding dress, you could save money by purchasing a “like new” wedding dress. There are many stores that will offer wedding dresses that have only been worn once. These dresses will be cheaper than purchasing a brand new dress and could look as great as a brand new dress.
An outdoor wedding has its own natural beauty but you should still check on the place where your wedding will be held right before your wedding. Check to make sure that the grass has been mowed, leaves have been raked, and it is clear of debris. If you notice something that you do not like, make sure it is taken care of before your wedding day.
Consider having an alcohol-free reception to alleviate the worries that inebriated guests can cause. If you do choose to go this route, make sure to offer many beverage options to your guests including soda, water, coffee, and tea so they don’t feel like they’re going to get parched. Having a homemade fruit punch served in a fountain can make a gorgeous centerpiece for your catering table!

An important component to your wedding is the invitations that you send out to your guests. Make sure that you make these as elegant as possible, as you want the invitations to represent how people see you and your future husband. Quality invitations will help to garner respect for your wedding.
