HANDY WEDDING HINTS & TIPS
Wedding tips for the Family
- Which side do you wear the corsage? Ladies wear it on the left and gents wear it on the right
- Corsage: If the mother's outfit is made out of light material ensure the florist is informed of this as a heavy corsage will not sit right on the light material
- Children in the bridal party: Parents should ensure the children have a snack when they come out of the church as its a long time until the reception and you want the children in good form
- Time: Allow at least an hour and a half for the church ceremony as it takes time to sign the register, to be congratulated, photos etc.
- Cash: Delegate someone to take care of the wedding cards that you recieve with cash on the day and make sure they are placed in the hotel's safe for security.
Wedding Tips for the Bride
- First of all relax, remain calm and enjoy yourself, it's your special day!!
- If possible wear total matt foundation as other foundations can cause a shine on your face
- Ask the hairdresser to apply extra hairspray around your face as even the slightest wind will blow your hair out of position
- Wash your hair the day before the wedding, not on the day as your hair will be too silky and your curls won't stay in or be secure in an up style
- Try on your underwear with your dress as some underwear can create little bulges where they shouldn't be.
Wedding Tips for Stationary
- Time line- order invites 8 weeks before the wedding
- Post out 6 weeks before the wedding
- Post out 8 weeks before the wedding if sending to the USA etc.
- Have RSVP date on invites 2 to 3 weeks before the wedding in consultation with the hotel/venue
- Wedding mass booklet-have ready to go at least 3 weeks before the wedding, again in consultation with the priest/celebrant.
- Don’t expect the groom to have any input to ordering or choosing the invitations!!!!-maybe not appropriate but its true-we see grooms being dragged in to discuss invites and invariably there is an argument!!!
