The images feature everything from wedding stationary to cakes, bridesmaid dresses, table settings, floral bouquets, wedding dresses of course, wedding favors and jewellery, as well as snaps taken from real weddings.”

With her expertise, I am sure it will lessen the brides and groom’s burden.

When planning a wedding, there are a lot that needs to be done but there are 10 things that can actually not need to be done. I read wedding blogs and articles and this one article shares the 10 things that you don’t need to do when you are preparing for your wedding. It grabs my attention because, I, personally have done these in my wedding preparation before and then I realized that I can actually exclude doing it.

I would like to share this article to those who are now planning for their wedding.

Number 1: A Wedding Luncheon

Feeding your wedding guests can be one of your biggest expenses. Having a luncheon can be a very fun tradition but it is not a must in order to have a memorable wedding experience. If you are low on funds and still want to have a luncheon I recommend keeping it to your very closest friends and family.

Number 2: A Limo

Everyone feels good when they step out of a limo. The reason I am telling you that a limo is not necessary is because you can feel just as good stepping out of a nice sports car. Chances are you know someone with a fantastic car that would be willing to let you borrow it for the night.

Number 3: A Real Wedding Cake

What! Why would you not have a real wedding cake? It is much cheaper to have a fake or styrafoam cake. 

Number 4: A Professional Photographer

Photographers are amazing and I think highly of professionals. 

Number 5: Dozens of Flowers

Flowers are great but the only flowers that are a must are in the bouquet. Flowers are a great plus if you have the money.

Number 6: A Wedding DJ or Band

Having a wedding band can add some class to a wedding reception but can be pricey. Make a playlist on your ipod. Most wedding venues have a place to plug it in to their system.

Number 7: A 3 Course Meal

Everyone loves expensive food but it isn’t necessary for you to feed them this meal. One disadvantage of serving a huge meal at a wedding is that it takes so much time. People are busy and have kids. A few hours seems to be the sweet spot at any reception. Serve desserts as a good alternative.

Number 8: Bird Seeds!

Nobody wants to be dressed nicer than ever and get nailed with pounds of bird seed. Sparklers are a fun and modern alternative.

Number 9: A Tuxedo

Yes, Tuxedos are classy but suits are getting nicer as time goes on. If you decide to wear a nice suit make sure you have a boutonniere in your jacket breast. It will make you look classy.

Number 10: Bridesmaids and Groomsman

Does is seem funny to you that it is tradition to pay a fortune to dress these people and all they do is stand in line. Why not have one maid of honor and one best man? You can call the rest of these people friends and they can dress themselves.

We all know that planning a wedding can be very stressful and frightening. You should consider every details and try not to forget anything. Every details is very important when it comes to wedding preparations. You have to take care from wedding invitations, wedding favors, foods, guests, venue, you name it and you’ll have to take care of it.

I was reading an article and their tips for a stress free wedding planning is indeed very effective.

Here are their  6 Tips for Stress-Free Wedding Planning

1. Schedule a NO WEDDING night: This is perhaps the most important thing to stop others from stressing you out. One night a week, neither of you are allowed to mention the word wedding nor anything wedding related. Turn off your phones, shut down the computers and emails. This can be a date night, or just a relaxing at home together night to remind you why you’re going through all this craziness in the first place!

“To Hire or Not to Hire… a wedding planner?” — It’s the most common question among couples who plan to get married. We all know that hiring a wedding planner is quite costly but it has a great advantage on the couple’s part to help them in their wedding planning. Wedding planner can lessen their burden for it will take care of every single details of your wedding. Wedding planner can be used whether you will be holding a small or big celebration. Brides, who are holding a small, intimate wedding reception, end up not hiring a wedding planner, considering they would hardly require an outside assistance. This is where they make a grave mistake: wedding planning does not depend upon a ‘little or large’ wedding reception.

It’s a fact that the scale of the wedding gets limited but the details are the same: you will still need vendors to set up the reception, caterers, lightning, etc.; this is where your wedding planner can help you connect with the right vendors that can provide you an estimation based on the magnitude of your wedding.

So think about it, it may be small or a big celebration, wedding planner is useful if you want a perfect wedding!

I was reading Michelle’s blog and there’s a question from her readers about wedding invitations etiquette.

Here’s a tips on who to invite in your wedding!

The scenario you describe – a small out-of-town wedding, followed by a party in the place you currently live – is a common one nowadays, because many of us settle away from our hometowns after college or because of a first job. So your family and friends will not find it odd or unusual that you are planning two celebrations in separate venues.

Create two separate guest lists – one for the wedding and the other for the party – and send separate invitations, even to the guests you plan to invite to both events. (Make it clear to guests invited to both that you do not expect two gifts.)

When making the guest list for the out of town wedding, invite the friends you would dearly love to see on that day. Let them make their own decisions about whether it’s feasible to travel.

Likewise, when making the guest list for the after-wedding party, include the out-of-towners from Pennsylvania who are most important to you – your childhood best friend, your favorite cousin – and when you see them in person make it clear that while you don’t expect them to travel if they can’t, you invited them them because on the off chance they can make it, you’d love to see them there.

From traditional to unique, you will find it all. Wedding themes are present on many of these beautiful invitations. Be as simple or as detailed with your design choice. By choosing a wedding invitations with a theme, you can showcase your personalities, hobbies or wedding location theme. Bold colors, muted colors, and various color combinations are represented on these wedding invitations. Coordinating your wedding colors with your wedding invitations is easy. Perhaps you are looking for a special shaped invitation or an invitation with a little more details, like embellishments such as ribbons, layers and jackets. Also consider photo wedding invitations. Classic and traditional invitations have simple design elements. Some of these papers may have embossing or foil. To further customize your invitations, choose an invitation with a monogram for a classic and elegant look. Consider choosing an affordably elegant invitation that is both quality and beautiful. Both small and large weddings can benefit from saving money in all areas of the wedding. Invite guests to celebrate your engagement, bridal shower, bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner & post wedding brunch. Also announce your wedding with classic or unique save the dates.

One of the most fun and creative things you get to do during your wedding preparations are making wedding invitations. While some couples just leave it to the professionals, some couples participate in the entire creation process, from the design, what paper to use, to the layout, etc. If you’re one of those couples who want to make sure that everything is perfect and elegant and hassle-free, then it’s best to hire a professional to do it.

There are websites out there that offer unique and fully customizable wedding invitations and stationery tailored to all kinds of wedding styles. A wedding invitation, like wedding favors, is something that should be carefully thought about. You want to convey a message to your family and friends about your wedding ceremony. Is your wedding going with a fun and light theme? Then you can customize your invitations to look fun, and colorful and cheerful. Or maybe you want a vintage theme? You can make your invitations look like something from the 80′s or 70′s or even the 50′s era. If you want a glamorous, luxurious wedding, you can make your invitation design look elegant and sophisticated. The sky’s the limit! You can work your creativity or you can choose from a wide variety of design templates available.
