Wedding Planning Tips
by: Dulce Azogue
Weddings are very nice occasions people want to attend to. But they can be time consuming and demand enormous attention on the part of the couple with lots of things to prepare for, in order for their wedding to be memorable. They can be very expensive, too. So how can you prepare for your wedding if you wan to save and are on a budget? Here are some tips.
Invitations. If you think that inviting people by giving them cards with fancy designs and made of expensive ink is still important to you, you may consider discarding that idea. You’re on a budget, right? Your main goal is to cut costs on things not that important to you. Besides, the people you’re inviting might just throw them away after reading it or when the wedding is over, so why bother? It could just waste your time and money. If you still insist on giving them invitations, then do it on a budget. You may go for DIY wedding cards instead. Or buy an inexpensive ink and cheap but lovely papers. You may also just send them an ecard, especially to people living out of the country. Or better yet, if you’re not thinking about formality, just call them.
Guests. The number of guests shouldn’t be too large if you want to cut wedding costs. Invite only your closest friends and family members. You’ll save on the food, too.
Photographer. No matter what the cost is, you’ll be able to find a professional wedding photographer. If you want your memories to last forever, then hire a professional who has the equipment and knows his craft. It’s a more preferable choice to a mere hobbyist who just might make mistakes. Remember, you’re paying for a service and you don’t want to risk on it.
Cake. If you’re no the type who values the look of your wedding cake a lot, then don’t go for a tall, grand look that costs a lot. Have a small cakeshop do the job instead.
Musicians. Don’t go for a band if you can’t afford it. Hire a very talented small-time singer instead. Give her the piece or the songs she will sing in advance and make sure she’ll be able to carry them out really well.
Prioritize, prioritize, prioritize. There are things that you want in your wedding that may not be within your budget. List those that are important to you in one group, then list those that are not in another. Learn to give value to those you believe will make your wedding memorable and discard the ones that are just frill to you, or go for a budget-friendly alternative. The key is to adjust with the budget you have.
A wedding is an important occasion to people who will spend their lives together, and it must be something that should be taken much time and preparation. Remember to save in advance if you want to have that special day a success to you both, and to people who will attend it.
For hundreds of years, the gift of sugar-coated Jordan Almonds has been a traditional European wedding favor, especially in Italy, France and Greece, where they are also known as Jordan almonds or Almond dragees. The French particularly prefer French almond dragees. These white Jordan Almonds have found its way into containers that range from simple Organza Bags to Silver Favor Tins. It is most famous as part of the Italian "bonbonniere" or confetti favor, which is a presentation of 3 or 5 almonds wrapped in tulle and tied with a bow. The number of almonds in the favor is important; as to not bring bad luck upon the new couple. Today, the tradition to give sugared sweets as wedding favors has grown to include their fabrication in lovely tulle and silk flowers created in Italy, and known as Confetti Flowers. (Confetti is from the word confection.) Five almonds can also be incorporated into Ribbon Flowers, also known as Coccarde Favors. They are sold as Organza Ribbon Flower Favors for weddings
