Optimize Printing Costs

• If you're going for an expensive printing process, use it for the invites and go for more affordable options for the supporting pieces. It's all about being savvy and budget-friendly.

  
  Song Requests

• On your RSVP cards, include a line for guests to request songs they'd love to hear. It's a fantastic way to create an amazing playlist that'll get everyone dancing.

  
  Choose Flower-Free Zones

• Flowers can be costly, so consider skipping them on the bar and along the aisle. Your guests won't even notice, and you'll have more funds for other fabulous details.

  
  Brand Your Wedding with Style

• Get a logo designed and create a stamp to add your unique touch to favors, bar signs, and menus. It's all about adding personality and style to your special day.

  
  The Power of Perfume

• Invest in a new perfume, and let the magic of scent memory transport you back to your incredible day whenever you catch a whiff.

  
  Keep the Bar Well-Staffed

• Ensure you have enough bartenders to keep the bar running smoothly. A happy and well-served crowd is a surefire way to keep the party going.

  
  Say Goodbye to Bra Marks

• On the morning of your wedding, avoid wearing a bra to prevent any marks from showing on your back and shoulders in pictures.

  
  Destination Edibles

• For a destination wedding, consider edible favors that guests can enjoy on the spot. It's a thoughtful touch and saves them from the hassle of carrying trinkets back home.

  
  Prioritize Dress Comfort

• Make sure your wedding dress alterations allow you to move comfortably. You should be free to dance and have fun without any restrictions.

  
  Cake Cutting Made Easy

• After the first cake cut, have the caterer slice and garnish the cake behind the scenes. It ensures the cake remains picture-perfect and ready to be served.

  
  Capture Honeymoon Memories

• Create a list of things to pack and another for things to bring back from your honeymoon. Souvenirs from your trip will be cherished keepsakes.

  
  Organize RSVPs Efficiently

• Number your RSVP cards in pencil on the back to keep track of responses and any missing names.

  
  Embrace Your Vision

• Remember, it's your wedding, not anyone else's. Stay true to your vision and make the day uniquely yours.

  
  Elevate Your Vows

  Write your vows in pretty notebooks or a vintage book to add an elegant touch to your declarations of love.

  
  Bustle Like a Pro

• Record a how-to video during dress fittings to help with the bustle on the wedding day. And make sure it works for both heels and flats.

  
  Consider a Styling Service

• A styling service can be a fantastic help for the bride, bridesmaids, groom, and groomsmen, ensuring everyone looks their best.

  
  Create a Hashtag for Sharing

• Encourage guests to use a unique wedding hashtag for uploading and tagging their pictures. It's a fun way to collect memories from everyone.

  
  Prioritize Food and Music

• Remember, guests often remember the food and music the most, so ensure both are top-notch for a memorable celebration.

  
  Bobby Pins as Your Allies

• Keep some bobby pins on hand as they can be handy for managing any dress buttons or other wardrobe needs.

  
  Consider Floral Installation Placement

• For epic floral installations, check the HVAC situation to ensure the flowers stay fresh and vibrant throughout the event.

  
  Keep Your Jewelry Safe

• Put your jewelry on last to protect it from any potential damage caused by hair spray or makeup.

  
  Pocket Protocols for Gents

• For men in slim-fit suits, remove phones from pockets to maintain a polished look.

  
  Stay Present with an Unplugged Ceremony

• Consider having an unplugged ceremony to encourage guests to stay present and avoid any distractions.

  Gratitude Matters

• Always send thank-you notes to show your appreciation to both guests and vendors. It's a gesture that means a lot to those who contributed to your special day.
