The Big Day

There are a lot of things that go into planning a wedding. At first, when all the big things are planned it seems as if you are totally prepared. The venue is booked at least 12 months ahead of time in most cases. The photographer has to take your engagement pictures so you have them at least 10 months ahead of time. If you are hiring a caterer then that needs to be planned at least 6 months in advance. DJs can be a little closer to time. Wedding cake and flowers need about 4 months. But, after all of that you are done, right?!

Not so much. There are so many small details to focus on. One thing we will focus on today is guest tables. A lot of thought can go into these little details on the table. Should you go with centerpieces or more of a collective decorations? Tall decorations or short decorations? The options can really be endless. You can have flowers, candles, lanterns, wood pieces, water pieces, lights, or really anything you want.

Next you have to think about how the place mats look, don’t give it that much thought. You should be able to do whatever you want on your wedding day, whether that’s gifting candy boxes to your entire guest list or choosing to give out something a little more expensive (like gift cards to a very unique place, which we find is a lot more tacky than specialized candy boxes).

Ultimately, having a wedding is all about you and your partner. You shouldn’t have to worry about how others thing about you, or what they may conceive of your lifestyle when they walk into the venue right when your big day is about to start. The biggest thing to keep in mind is that these people, those who would actually judge you, aren’t the type of people you should ever think about. The more time of day you waste on them, the more they end up winning in whatever little game they’re trying to play. So instead, realize the trap that is about to be set and do not consider them when doing everyday things.
